Am I Right?
<div class="IPBDescription">:o</div> Am I right, or did I just come up with the most mathematical nonsense ever?

Savior: I just had a mathematical revelation in the bathroom. I've reached Supreme Nerd status.

Savior: I forgot it on the trip over to my computer
Joe: rofl
Savior: It was some long equation relating to our RV's water pump
Savior: (don't ask)
Joe: o_o
*Even Longer Pause*
Savior: Ok. The pump puts out X pressure, and cuts off when the pressure in the lines reaches Y. When you turn on a faucet, it releases A pressure, where A is less than what is needed to prevent Y pressure in the lines. Two faucets releases A+A pressure, which is greater than X, and prevents Y pressure in the lines. However, Because A+A is greater than X, the pressure from the faucets is significantly less than what could be obtained by A alone. Unfortnately, when Y pressure is reached, and A pressure is being released, the water pump cuts on and off rapidly, which also greatly reduces the possible pressure from A. The obvious solution, however, is to adjust one faucet to put out A-B pressure, where B is the pressure difference between A+A and X.
Savior: Holy crap.
Savior: I think thats it.

Savior: I've gotta post this in some forums...
Savior: Just to see if I'm right.

Edit: Well..simple for ME, because I understand what I mean. I don't suppose it's simple at all for anyone else.
Edit#2: Also, this entire equation can be stated as simply as "Ok, so if the water pump messes up with one faucet, and can't put out enough pressure for 2 faucets, just turn the 2nd faucet on half-way." I just wanted things simply complicated.
Edit#3: My 150th post. Hurah. (It took me this long...)
