There are finally pictures of Tracy's new intake manifold design. I
have been thinking about a similar design in the past few weeks.  It
is a simple construction that could be made as a single part with
carbon filbert.  I got the idea for this type of manifold from
http://www.advancedinductionresearch.com/ when I was researching CF
intake manifolds. Attached is a conceptual drawing I did a few weeks
ago. I am very busy finishing my project at work and I will not have
much time to work on manifolds for 3 weeks. After that I would have
lots of free time and I will have access to schools machine shop.

Subject: [FlyRotary] New Info on Tracy's Renesis Engine conversion
 
For those of you interested, Tracy or rather Laura has some new info
posted on the progress of the Renesis engine swap.

Note that Tracy is now using the Streamline duct (Bell shaped) for his
radiator and correctly points out that folks often make the mistake of
curving the duct outward in that location - just the opposite of what
you need to do.
