[QUOTE="dougc905, post: 217374, member: 537"] I'm a physics teacher. I love to gnaw on theory! Don't have an acme pipe and I know I never will. I think it would be terribly damp and "gurgly". There may even be liquid sloshing around that second chamber after smoking a moist tobacco. Yuck. I'd say that it can be argued that any pipe that has an irregular draft from the bowl to the lip would qualify as being similar to this acme pipe. Your drawing makes it look like there will be an extreme low pressure region when smoke passes from the draft hole to the 2nd chamber. That would cause condensation of moisture and hopefully a drier smoke. This effect is also spoken of in Peterson system pipes. In fact, any pipe that has a gap between mortise and tenon would display this condensation effect. That's why they gurgle or need a cleaner run through. Sorry, got carried away gnawing... :-) [/QUOTE]
