Tom; As I remember Harry came up with a farily small scoop (amount of air
necessary to run the motor= Hight x width x length (one mile). The scoop was
well into clean air and had a coke bottle shape on the inside. I asume this
was to speed up the air flow and overcome the tendency to spill back out the
opening at positive pressure.        It sure looked trick and those guys are
pretty smart.  Rich Fox
