the two lobe blower.

Any one know any thing about Don Hampton's two lobe blower?, is it reliable, I only have two guys opinion, one says it's great the other said its no good, and I don't know if I can trust either one of them, (yet)talking about a 8/71, I was told it puts out as much air as a striped 12/71? the guy i tune for is ordering one on Mon. any info would be appreciated

 

Hey Eli

How much $$$$$

Not sure it is the best deal !!!!

The list price is $5,500. the reason I like it is because theres no teflon strips,so theres less heat pumped into the motor. plu's it's lighter, just not sure it lasts. Gene

 

Don made a two lobe blower many years ago. It did not catch on then, so I guess I would ask what is different with the new one now?

 

I said the same thing,It was explained to me that the old one had straight rotors the new one has twisted rotors. you must be old to remember

 

The two lobe straight rotor deal suffered from extreme pulsation in the manifold. I'd hope a little twist would help.

 

I was told it's 60 Deg. twist, so thats it, gess it's live and learn I hope it works, cuz I have different planes for it. you guys know, ( OUTSIDE THE BOX )
