Andy,

That site is very good.  You may also want to check out:
www.advancedpilot.com

It is a great site for general piston engine information.

The science behind their theories of operation is extraordinary.

Make sure you check out some of the articles.

Hey all,

Every now and then we have engine discussions.  Engineering terms start
to
come out of the woodwork, and I have to start looking up things like
BSFC
and the like.

This is one of the benefits of being on the reflector as it lets me know
"what I don't know."  In my self education efforts I stumbled across
this
website:  http://www.epi-eng.com

I had no idea the company even existed.  They present a variety of
information.  Very well written for the novice.  Easy to understand what
is
going on.

The section on "Torsional Excitation by Piston Engines" is very good.
Much
easier to understand the dynamics of power pulses.  Lots of
pictures/graphs.
:)

FWIW,

Andy
