not likely...would require a much higher flow rate and pressure differential.

Correct. There is no comparision to that display and a cooling system on a boat. .......MP
Lets just say......that as the water is sped up with a peg/cylinder/intrusion in the path of the flow (or speed of some type of object moving through the water), A hole is made by the water not being able to re-curve around the object and make a smooth flow.
The illustrator does say that once the speed of the water is increased enough, the area just after the cylinder, acts like a solid area would directly behind the cylinder.

In a boat we are feeding a large area with a small area. The size of the inlets is much smaller than the area that is to be filled, key word, filled. Then the exit side of our equasion is another small orafice, in comparision to the area it is expelling. Our systems are full, and pressurized, the incoming water never sees the speed required to create a simular situation, not to mention the pressure differental directly around the cylinders due to heated water. A free flowing system could create what is shown, but not a restricted, pressurized, slow moving sysyem like most boats have.........IMO,......MP
Ok......let me rephrase again:crossx: .............
That "cylinder" in the center of the waterflow.......is a pin. As the water speed increases......it blows a big hole in the water. The water at that speed (whatever speed that is......not stated in the vid) cannot return to the backside of the pin cause the speed of the water around the pin is too high.
This has nothing to do with an engine cylinder.
So what happens to the water when this "cylinder" or "pin" is placed on a treadmill?

It is interesting for sure, I thought you might be thinking this is what is happening inside an engine block which is definatly not the case if your plumbed correctly.
