I
thought about something like this, too. The only thing that worries me is the
possibility of an oil-cooler oil-line or fuel-line rupture and a resulting
pretty but unhealthy afterburner.
I'm
trying to build my EZ as safe as reasonable with the assumption that something
will break, I'd like to keep the oil and fuel away from the hot exhaust. Airflow
should not draw oil mist or fuel vapor past the exhaust pipes. A leaking
water radiator of course should not cause any harm when it hits a hot exhaust
pipe.

John,
I saw it at OSH but can't remember
enough details to help. Have someone re-post it to the C-A list.
Charlie's pretty active there last I was on the list.
Sorry I can't help

Greetings,I've been
planning to implement some type of exhause augmentation a la Charlie
Airsmans Varieze installation. The only picture I've been able to find is
attached. It looks like there's some kind of "ball" welded into the
end of the exhaust pipe. Perhaps this helps mix the exhaust with the
air being sucked down the
shroud. Has anyone
seen this gizmo up close? If so, could you describe what's going on at the
end of the exhaust pipe? Got any better
pictures?Regards,John
