Question:

How do I make a model of an AC generator?

Well I‘m trying to make a simple ac generator or even making an electromagnet is fine. I would l like to know what typr of manget I should use (manget bar, horse shoe, etc.)And could you please tell me the coil I use, I‘m pretty sure its copper but i want to be 100% sure.Thanks

Answer:

Not a whole lot of performance and to install is pretty easy. IMHO I would not bother, unless I am ramping up my engine and do the whole thing as a package. If you noticed the people that actually uses it and they are serious about it, they mod more things on their engines. What you see is an advertisement campaign. The real numbers comes from the Dyno. Most cars and if you take the time to see, they have a passage to the clean air outside. Is somewhat concealed in the way the air box looks. If you see the actual air filter on a car is larger, giving you a bigger surface area. That will keep more clean air during maintenance intervals. Also the cars where designed on range of weather conditions, dusty areas, extreme cold, extreme heat and such. So if you drive on those types of conditions a KN will clogged PDQ. If the filter stays outside of the car and it rains it gets wet therefore does not let the air pass through like it should. So that funky piece of Air Box that people removes is designed also to keep the water away. They are engineers that gets pay good money to think on these things, and there is a reason why is there. Is your money, if you want to buy it is ok but do not expect a whole lot.
People tell me that they do. They also have a cleanable element that can be reused. The power may come from a little cooler air to the engine and less restriction through the intake. One downside of this, if it matters to you, could be increased intake noise in the cabin. Some people like it that way, they can hear the air being sucked into the engine. Your call, it's your ride. good luck.
Yes they do increase performance,and sometimes improves gas mileage. Any high flow air intake systems do this, as long as they are piped right. The idea is to take in cold air not the hot air from the engine. My intake is routed down to my fender down to my bumper infron of my front left tire. Some people put in short pipes and the intake is right next to the engine with out a heat shield. It does them no good, heat is bad for your engine performance.
Coil is isolated copper wire. you use a curved magnet that follows the line of the coil.
