yes, that is exactly what they were. And, yes, it was Jordan. I knew I would get it wrong. Funny, I work with a guy named Jordan, so I'd have thought I would remember that name. Jordan - if you happen to read this, sorry for getting your name wrong
Heres the problem now. I already have my holes drilled, and once I install the elbows, there is only about two inches of room between them for the mesh. I don't think this will be a problem, but lets test my nerd skills.(laugh)
So, where the area of a circle is Pi*r^2 and the circumference is Pi*D, where r = radius and D=diameter.
If I have two intake screens that are, for sake of argument, the size of the diameter of the two inch intake, I have 6.28 total intake square inches, as each intake is 3.14 square inches. (3.14 * 1^2)
If I do the mesh between the two, even for only two inches, I have a total intake area that is equal to 3.14*D or 2, for 6.28 square inches of intake area per linear inch of mesh. So, if I have two linear inches of mesh, that gives me 12.56 total intake square inches. Roughly double the intake size.
Did I get all that right? Too nerdy? I know, its this problem I have.
