Whats the significance of the air motoring test?
• When engine blows up its hard to isolate the real cause of failure due to multiple number of parts broken. We have achieved 814 ft. lbs. of torques from 150 psi of compressed air. Projection: Ambient air pressure is about 14.7 psi, the pressure before the ignition will rise to about 290 psi when compressed to 20 to 1. The combustion process will boost the pressure to over 1,500 psi as a result of the chemical reaction of the firing. Extrapolation based on the mechanical advantage shows that the Engine will exert over 4,000 ft. lbs.
