Plug-valve

Post by sockmonkey » Tue Dec 04, 2012 6:06 pm

This is an attempt to allow better flow-through in the open position and longer valve life by using spring-actuated bottle-shaped plug valve.

I have the plug fairly long so the blast hits the base and startes pushing it closed before it can leak back out the front.
I have concerns about the mass and amount of travel it needs limiting the frequency. Is it possible to mitigate this with a better shape?
