RE: RE: RE: Tired of wondering if nitrous will work
This entire thread has gotten me thinking about the law of diminishing returns.
It seems to me that the gain of power (if in fact anyone actually realized a gain of output with N2O on a glow engine) would probably be offset by the weight and complexity of the system in the first place.
Much ado about nothing, IMHO.

I just skimmed the thread (okay I only read page 1 and 5) so forgive me if this has been mentioned before: http://www.jagrc.com/ <--- ready to go nitrous system

RE: Tired of wondering if nitrous will work
I am sorry if this thread has died and no one cares, but if you are interested a number of my friends and I in my yester years used to us NOS from wippets recreationally. In order to depressurize the gas we used old fashioned 'soda machines' in fact I still have one, and there are stores around here that still sell spare valves and seals. These would be ideal for such a system. I am new as I said but I have a chemistry degree these days and am very interested in this subject, and I would like to know how you got on, as a NOS system is feasible for short runs.
