The gain in power is solely due to the fact that the original fan on the waterpump is removed and not taking up any power. At normal speed the electric fan does (should) not come one as the speed of

I recall reading a book by LJK Setright on the history of Bristol cars, that the engineers there found the fan/waterpump accounted for about 5 HP, which sounds in line with what you mention. Mirek __

The electric waterpump is constantly running and needs power which is supplied by the engine. So you would not gain much if any. The only advantage may be a better design and thus more efficient. The

A water pump and a mechanical fan need a fair amount of power to be driven. They are not perpetu|m mobilae, so that power needs to come from somewhere: ultimately the engine, and it does not make any

Not that simple math. There is the efficiency of each item to be considered. You can run the water pump from a battery for maximum HP, but an alternator may/ may not use more mechanical energy than y

Perfectly explained. The battery is charged by the dynamo/alternator thus also sapping the engine, allthough a bit spread out so peak HP will suffer a bit less. Kees Oudesluijs Bob Spidell schreef:
