Jon=2C the venturi principle is easily visualized and understood from the =
cross section schematics in an auto repair manual or text on pre fuel injec=
tion carburetors. The accelerated rush of air thru the venturi assisted =
in the atomization of the gasoline which will not burn in a liquid state. T=
he gasoline was introduced into the mixture at the venturi "mouth".

Restriction is only part of the concept. I think seeing a physical cross s=
ection of a venturi will help one get what Nils is talking about. I hope =
Nils will respond further on this interesting subject=3B he has the science=
and the math.

Nils,

won't the damper pretty well function like a second venturi, since it =20=

restricts the stack opening, or is there some advantage to a square, =20
or even better, a round restriction?
