1Ram-air intake — A ram air intake is any intake design which uses the dynamic air pressure created by vehicle motion to increase the static air pressure inside of the intake manifold on an engine, thus allowing a greater massflow through the engine and hence… …
2Short ram air intake — The short ram air intake is a form of aftermarket air intake for automobiles with internal combustion engines.It basically replaces the OEM air intake with a short metal pipe and air filter inside the engine bay. This can slightly boost… …
3Ram air — refers to the principle of using the airflow created by a moving object for power. The term may also refer to any of the following: *Parafoils, also called ram air parachutes, non rigid airfoils inflated by wind *Pontiac Ram Air Engines a line of …
4Cold air intake — A cold air intake is an aftermarket assembly of parts used to bring relatively cool air into a car s internal combustion engine. Most vehicles manufactured since the mid 1970s have thermostatic air intake systems that regulate the temperature of… …
5Warm air intake — A warm air intake or WAI is a system to decrease the amount of the air going into a car for the purpose of increasing the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine. This term may also be used to describe a short ram air intake, a totally… …
6ram air — n. technical air that is forced to enter a moving aperture, such as the air intake of an aircraft …
7air intake — The entries through which air is fed to the engines. Gas turbine engines have large forward facing scoops to utilize the full ram pressure of the air stream, and turboprop engines have a large annular space around the spinner. Air intakes may be… …
8Intake — An intake , or especially for aircraft inlet, is an air intake for an engine. Because the modern internal combustion engine is in essence a powerful air pump, like the exhaust system on an engine, the intake must be carefully engineered and tuned …
