General scientific question

[Michael_Bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Someone whose name I won't mention (because we cert=
ainly don't want to sta=rt getting a bunch of stuff ab=ut it...) posted a
diatribe about ram scoops, which Don C. later cleaned up so that we could
actually read it (hey, thanks Don!), but he (the original writ=r) said that
scoop A produced .35 PSI and scoop B produced .85 PSI or some such stuff.
OK, here's my question:   I thought that regular old air, the kind you are
breathing right now as you read this, unmoving, at sea level would be at 1
(one) PSI.   I may very well be wrong, but if I'm right, then it would seem
that Ma=K is saying that the scoops generate vacuum rather than pressure.
Which doesn't seem right.

Or, maybe I just need to up my medication.

stop working in 340 odd days)
