It seems to me that a compression number should be maximally, CR * Atmospheric. After all, you're putting some amount of air in there (at atmospheric), then compressing it by a factor of CR. Yet the compression numbers people expect are always higher than that. Why ?

A compression test is adiabatic, pressure for that is (V1/V2)^1.4 for air.. Plus the intake valve closes some time after bottom dead center reducing the effective compression. Don't forget to work in absolute pressures.

My late grandmother warshed alot of clothes and dishes in her day, and would usually alert us when it was time to warsh our hands for dinner. IIRC, she was born and raised in Ohio. I almost mentioned it when Ohioans were mentioned, but thought it might turn up in another posting. This thread seems to have plenty of momentum -- enough to overcome a little friction here and there! - N.

This from someone who lives in a state where someone actually said to me, "Dang! You from A'lanta? You ain't even got one of them stupid soundin' southern accents." My continued conversation allowed me to perceive that central Ohio trailer trash was she & her boyfriend's native dialect. Unfortunately, one of the words I picked up working up north (i.e. Ohio & Pennsylvania) garners me the most ridicule at home. Using the word "pop" instead of "coke" (I am from Atlanta after all) always ends up with me trying to resolve never using the word again to refer to a bubbly, sugary beverage. > > Later, > > Rich - says "hite" although I am sure I make my share of > mistakes, my parents like to add the letter "R" to words like > wash so it becomes "warsh".

Raised in Mississippi and living in the FL panhandle now. Just spent 6 mos in Australia....shoulda seen the looks on their faces when I arrived with things like "y'all comin over for supper tonight?" Aussie translation "hey mate what time is tea?". Since I work in aerospace industry, I also enjoyed hearing the pronunciation of "aluminum"....or was that "aluminium"?

Wordpac doesn't carry it either. Well, I decided to try something in the neighborhood of 0.5 Ohm and 85 Watt. We will see how it works. Alex M.
