Affordable Home Made Media Blast Cabinet

Published on 02-02-2012 12:12 PM

Not wanting to pay $80 or more for a small media blasting cabinet, I searched for some materials around my house to build my own. A yard waste recycle bin was my answer. I did not spend one red cent to make this functional homemade media blast cabinet. And the viewing window/lid takes up less room sitting against a wall than a bulky metal media blasting cabinet. The list of supplies needed is one large bin, a sand blaster, a shop vac with hose attachment, wood scraps, screws for lid assembly, ...

Understanding Engine Sensors - Part 3: Barometric Pressure Sensor

Published on 01-31-2012 01:04 PM

By Steve Hulett @ Drag Radial Performance

The Barometric Pressure Sensor only measures atmospheric pressure. When we are at sea level, we are feeling the weight of one atmosphere on our shoulders. Remember, air has mass, therefore it weighs something. Imagine a column of air that's one square inch in area, that goes from sea level all the way to the very top of the atmosphere. The air in that column weighs about 14.7 lbs. If we were to stack this weight on ...

Understanding Engine Sensors - Part 2: Air Intake Temperature Sensor

Published on 01-19-2012 01:14 PM

By Steve Hulett @ Drag Radial Performance

In Speed Density applications, the Air Intake Temperature Sensor played a more important role than it does in Mass Airflow engines. The basic Speed Density calculation for air mass (which is used to calculate the amount of fuel required) uses the AIT sensor as part of its basic equation. Speed Density computers would estimate airflow, not directly measure it. The Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT) is satisfied by knowing the volume of the cylinder (engine size), ...

Understanding Engine Sensors - Part 1: The Rundown

Published on 01-19-2012 12:49 PM

By Steve Hulett @ Drag Radial Performance

We'll take a look at the sensors one ...
