High Altitude operations (Turbo charge???)

I've got a electric (110VAC) leaf blower. If you put a converter on
your dc and came out with 110VAC you could use the electric leaf
blower and not have to worry about the gas leaf blower having altitude
problems (reduced power output) G

Where theres a will, theres a way.

If the leaf blower don't give any engine boost, then it could be used
for pilot cooling on the hot muggy days like we have here in Houston
vs A/C in the bird.

With all this talk of using a gas powered blower would someone please
explain
how that blower is going to overcome the effects of altitude and maintain
the
same velocity of air. It is going to drop off in power just as the engine
will
and at altitude its effect will be nil.


Bob, they've told you already. They're going to put a turbo on the
blower. Sheesh! 8*)



OK, and they are going to power the turbo with what?

On that last one we are in total agreement. Now what is your solution for
removing some of the humidity from that air? I was working in the garage this
morning at 7am and it was so warm and humid that I was having problems with the
sweat pouring off my forehead and streaking my glasses as well as dripping on
the work.

Move. My garage is comfortable to work in year-round here in Anchorage,
Alaska. Occasionally I have to turn on the heat but it only takes a few
minutes to warm up.

Whoa there pardner...I hates the cold even more than the heat and Alaska it one
cold ass place. Hell, up there my ass would stick to that ICE every time I
tried to slide on it. At this time of year it is very tempting though.

Just don't get fishing/hunting season confused with building season and
you will do fine. As for sliding on the ice, hereabouts that is done
through intersections using tires.

Today it got up to over 80, which was semi annoying until we took the
windows out of the Jeep and went for a ride tonight. I'd be happy if it
was always 55-60 degrees, and with enough breeze to keep the skeeters
away.

And then there are always the plusses of having the highest pilot
population per capita, easier to get field approvals, backcountry
airports everywhere, a general public that actually likes small
airplanes, and the best scenery anywhere.
