[Diesel-RVs] Re: Realtime tire inflation systems

David- Passenger busses in Baja have a real time inflation system on
all 4 corners. They have a pressure disc made of two pieces; one is
carried on the tire's lug nuts (I think, it rides outboard of the
wheel and is attached to the wheel at its center and this inner piece
rotates with the wheel); the outer second piece is stationary, and
there is a seal between the two. An air line connects to the outer
piece. The steer tire setups have gimbaled air connections so the
tire can steer unimpeded. I have no idea what the inflation/deflation
algorithms call for as to temperature compensation. I did hear that
one got torn off in a wreck and the tire deflated, but have no proof
of that. Best of luck w/this experiment. Mike
