Corrosion of Turbines in Tanks

[91TTZ]

How about a separation chamber? Have a system where the air has to go around a sharp bend, and the mass of the sand particles causes them to deviate from the flow of the clean air, and those particles get diverted to another chute?

The answer is simple, install a flux capacitor, accelerate to 88 mph and travel to the future. While there, get the indestructible turbine blades installed. I'd also recommend the hover conversion and the Mr. Fusion power source.

best idea so far.. i'd take this suggestion and begin working on your science project

Listen to this guy, OP obviously has no clue what he's talking about. Separation is a good choice.

Alpha particle speed? W T F .

Yes...that's be great. Tanks with the top speed, and sturdy construction of a solar vehicle and the multimillion dollar pricetag of a tank.

they're already outrageous... I can't even finance one...

Get the folks from Dyson vacuums to build you an air intake system that uses the same principal for filtration that his vacuum cleaners have.......since the vacuum cleaners never lose suction (usually caused by too much junk clogging the filters), then it should conceivably be able to filter out the sand, but allow the air (which, in a vacuum cleaner, would just be exhausted out of the mechanism) to enter the engine without any entrained sand.

Or you could just use FishTaco's idea, and get the flux capacitor.....fluxing!! :laugh:

exactly. filters, or rather, layers of filters would still be required, but not as much as in the other methods
