DIY concentric port
|
A concentric port is basically a straight port that has been collapsed into itself. Hold a cardboard tube out in front of you, and run as fast as you can into a brick wall and you'll get the idea!

Approximations neglecting wall thickness Middle tube dia = inner tube dia * sqr(2) Outer tube dia = inner tube dia * sqr(3) Inner tube endgap = inner tube dia * 1 / 4 Middle tube endgap = inner tube dia * sqr(2) / 8 |

Summary of results I built a test port and deliberately designed it undersize because I wanted it to chuff it's little tube off. The results were disappointing. Basically the design is too noisy and there is no reduction in pipe resonance. You can access the full results including testing methods here |
