Monster blowers and glides

[FastEddie]

Wouldn't it make sense to have a multi-ported, ultra high cfm glide(for big blowers), to move even more air and take advantage of all that power instead of wasting it thru the relief valve? Is 300 plus cfm's possible ATG?

"4 inch hose would be the bomb" With that statement, looks like that Physics class didn't do much for you.

Taking a slot glide and porting it out would also make it easier to push

I've often thought the same thing. My kunkle cycles once on every pull back stroke and twice if moving a little slower. On commercial carpet and cut pile nylon I get such a good seal. Seems like I could be using a wider glide with 2 rows of holes and hardly lose any HG. I was wondering if that would make one dry pass like two. Not sure if it would work but if it did the dry times would be incredible. Brian e

I ported my RV360 glides and my Bayco hardley cycles, it maintains 15HG.

Funny Odin, I have more muscles on my arms than your entire body. Now go have another drink and slop together another booster, Dr. Phil

If you want power stay away from electro truckmounts.

One word: Radius

Brain tease...think about what actually touches the carpet.

Grenie,

What BrianE mentioned, "two rows of holes"

Do you think that would make sense when using a big blower?

 

[Greenie]

There is an exchange of airflow for lift with the restriction of the holes, this is why slot glides generally don't dry as well as holes.

Now, that said, yes a bigger blower does allow some room for "fudging" but be careful for what you ask for, as everytime you remove a little more teflon stock the wand becomes that much harder to move, we sell holes to porty users for drying, we sell holes to vortexes so they can move the wand.

Also I will touch on my comment above, as it must ahve slipped by.
RADIUS
there is only so much of a round glide that actually touches the carpet, if you allow margin for the full extended cleaning stroke, as well as the fully contracted stroke, you can only go so big with your holes, and two rows staggered would only be that much more difficult, been there, the hole size has to be reduced to achieve this, and now you are back to square one.

If you feel like it, drill out some existing 11/64th holes to 12/64 (3/16") and try for yourself with your 45 blower, after all the 3/16 is jsut a lil' bit bigger right? :wink:
