However, my question concerns the word âsnipâ (plural âsnipsâ), as in the nursery rhyme, âSnips and snails and puppy dog tails, thatâs what little boys are made of.â The word came up as my husband and I were discussing our grandson (who is the pride and joy of both his father and grandfather).
Ram air. Ram air refers to the principle of using the airflow created by a moving object for power. The term may also refer to any of the following: Parafoils, also called ram air parachutes, non-rigid airfoils inflated by wind.
Both ram and cold air intakes provide more air to the engine without the added weight or complexity of a forced induction system, such as a supercharger or turbocharger. While neither one provides as much performance as forced induction, they are simpler, less expensive, and more reliable.
