Vanir I've come to the conclusion that you're not bothering to read a word I say or bothering to check out the original documents I and others have posted links or copies of. You are so concerned with being right and "pwning" others that you would rather live in your own fantasy land of...

Lets deal with this step by step: University of Western Ohio - is it from an academic or engineering paper? Who's the author? What original documents does he source for those claims? Couple of points: "a BMW 801D-2 variant adapted for C3 (96 octane) fuel" This is poorly expressed...

The diagrams on the second page of the article are from the Flugzeug Handbuchs and show the layout of the system. As to how it works, I'm not an aircraft engine guru but AFAIK it works pretty much the same way as MW-50 except that fuel is used as the coolant instead of a methanol-water...

Close but not really, which just goes to show the limitations of electronic translation programs. What that para (under the heading Doppel oder Einzeldusen) is talking about is a trial replacing the double exhaust pipes with a single pipe, producing an 80PS boost. On 16 March 1943 Rechlin...

Hmmm...you can read an entire six page technical article in German in 35 minutes well enough to understand it completely and dismiss the author as wrong, but you can't translate four sentences in 25 minutes?

Honestly I doubt you can even read a word of those German articles, either that or you are a bit nutty to be denying the plain language of them. But lets see - if you really can read German and that article, a little quiz: - what modification to the 801D is discussed as producing a +80PS...

You can lead horse to water but can't make him drink. Go and read the article I posted Vanir and the sections of the Flugzeug Handbuch that describe the system. When you've familiarised yourself with the primary documents I'll be amused to discuss how BMW/Focke Wulf tested and installed a...

Vanir didn't you go and check the references to the Flugzeug Handbuchs which describe the system? I think that would be a rather more reliable source than picking bits off internet sites. I'm a bit bemused that you are coming up with all these theoretical reasons why the system couldnt...

Actually I did have a copy of that article to hand: http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/7306/klassikerdieleistungssteigerun.jpg http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/7471/klassikerdieleistungssteigerun1.jpg http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/4048/klassikerdieleistungssteigerun2.jpg...

I'm too lazy to reinvent the wheel and go and scan all the original C3-injection documents, so I'll just post a link to a post by Kettenhunde at IL-2 forums that contains a couple of the relevant ones: http://forums.ubi.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/63110913/m/9991053533/p/9 There's also an...

Vanir Nothing Hop says is in the slightest bit controversial for those familiar with the FW190A. MW-50 was tested in the 190A but it was discovered that direct injection of C3 fuel (a secondary line was run from the main tanks) was more efficient as a charge coolant than methanol-water...
