This is the link for aircraft rad from the Mistral web site

Something wrong with that web site. I could not see the pictures.
I tried it with three differnt browsers. Firefox on Linux. Firefox on
Windows XP and Internet Explorer on Windows XP. None of them showed
the pictures that might be pressure drop curves.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Still no hard and fast performance data on a given core that one can buy
off the shelf as far as I can see.

In other words what is the drag or pressure drop per square foot of rad core
as a function of the air velocity through the rad core and the heat loss as a
function of the air velocity or pressure drop.

Shame on Griffin :) We really want and need to know. They could
build a rad core wind tunnel if they wanted to.

If somebody can save those pictures and send them to me I would appreciate
it.

Hi Paul,

It's not the browser, those pictures aren't on the web site.  If you do
a "view image" you get a "404 file not found" error.  It looks like
they haven't put those particular pictures on the site yet.

You can see what they do have by going to
http://www.griffinrad.com/images/photos/  These are mostly pictures of
cars.  There are radiator pictures at

Well I had hoped the missing images were graphs of pressure drop
verse flow velocity.

Good morning,

It appears Griffin has changed their site over to a Flash driven format. The
listed, non-functioning image links are to the non-Flash site.  It appears they
need to contact their web developer and correct a whole passel of issues.

I just tested the Flash driven site and it all works.  Links are listed below
for image files and the Flash site.  If you need to download Adobe Flash (free
browser plug-in), this is the link for it:

That is a really dumb thing to do. Changing Internet standards means you are
going to lose a large percentage of viewers that don't have the latest.
I checked it with my wife's Apple and neither of her browsers worked.

The smart thing to do is use the lowest common denominator html that has
been around for 10 years so everybody's browser works.

They need to fire their egotistical web site designer and get
rid of all the blinking animated crap and find some body that
will do a real job of selling their product.

This is not a web site design contest.

People want real information like why are Griffin rads better than
someone else's rads and not a bunch of fancy bells and whistles.

Paul,

Agreed.  I run into that stuff all the time in my (computer support) business
and it really is an irritant. The lowest common denominator (plain vanilla HTML)
gets right to the issue of selling products, without animation or special
effects that add nothing to the transaction but aggravation.
