I was showing him the absurdity of his reference to golf balls.

That Boundary layer/Fluid velocity crap is:
1) on Wikipedia, hardly the most reputable site
2) complicating how easy the process is.

Lift is caused by two things:
1) The air running over the top of the aerofoil (cross section of a wing) is moving faster creating a low pressure area above the wing.
2... balls.

Whether you trust wikipedia or not, it is a fundamental principle of fluid dynamics.

No-one else seems to be talking about airplanes in this thread about an intake... The closest someone got seems to be you!

That's not a bad job for DYI, I used a Walkinshaw CAI with washable Pod & has made a huge diff on our Calais with stock tune.

Maybe you guys can go explain to the tafe teachers your theory.
Done my trade and have been a tradesman for 10 years now.

This theory is valid on N/A

Ask your self this question why are golf balls not all smoothed they have all little holes all over them.
A golf ball that will be smooth all over wont travel as far a as the turbulent ball.
Thats all i have to say.

Just so you know,

I don't like you...

So if we were to beat your head in with a baseball bat, and then cut it off and lob it over a fence....you're saying it would go further than if we just cut it off and threw it without beating it in?

Holden spent $1billion on R&D for the VE commodore, that includes developing that intake pipe.

You spent $6 at Bunnings on some PVC pipe and it works better?

Discuss.
