SKOUT® Tesla: The Next Generation of Air Rifle Sound Moderation
The SKOUT® Tesla sound moderator represents a revolutionary leap in air rifle noise reduction technology. Inspired by the ingenuity of Nikola Tesla, this moderator utilizes a unique valvular design to achieve exceptional sound modificaiton without compromising performance.
Compatible with all SKOUT® barrel liners and barrel shrouds. Shooters must RE-USE moderator base to mount TESLA Moderator.
Factory air shredders, in the correct caliber, work with the internal design of the TESLA.
The TESLA moderator is threaded easily into place, allowing fast installation or removal for cleaning. The moderator can also be removed to decrease over all length in transport.
Taming the Shockwave: The Science Behind the Silence
Air rifles propel projectiles using compressed air. The rapid release of this air creates a powerful shockwave, responsible for the characteristic loud “crack” associated with air rifle discharge. This shockwave travels in two directions: ahead of the projectile and behind it.
The SKOUT® Tesla moderator tackles this challenge head-on. Drawing inspiration from Tesla’s one-way valve design, SKOUT® engineers have adapted it to effectively manipulate the airflow within the moderator.
A Symphony of Silence: How the SKOUT® Tesla Works
The key to the SKOUT® Tesla’s success lies in its internal design, featuring a series of angles, bends, and chambers specifically engineered to disrupt the air shockwave. Here’s a breakdown of the science at play:
-
Shockwave Recirculation: The carefully crafted internal geometry disrupts the forward-traveling shockwave, causing it to partially reflect back onto itself. This creates a zone of opposing pressure waves that significantly reduce the overall sound intensity.
-
High-Pressure Air Deceleration: The intricate design also slows down the high-pressure air expanding behind the projectile. This rapid air expansion is another major contributor to air rifle noise. By slowing it down, the SKOUT® Tesla effectively reduces the intensity of the sound waves produced.
-
Unrestricted Projectile Flow: One of the key advantages of the SKOUT® Tesla is its minimal impact on projectile velocity. The internal design allows for nearly unrestricted airflow in the direction of the projectile’s path, ensuring minimal power loss and maintaining the accuracy of your shots.
Beyond the Limits of Traditional Manufacturing
The complexity of the SKOUT® Tesla’s internal design pushes the boundaries of conventional manufacturing techniques. The intricate angles, bends, and chambers are beyond the capabilities of even the most advanced milling machines.
To overcome this challenge, SKOUT® engineers have embraced cutting-edge 3D printing technology. Through a rigorous selection process, they have identified the ideal filament material that delivers the perfect balance of weight, durability, and, most importantly, exceptional sound mitigation capabilities.
The Result: A Lightweight, Durable, and Quiet Moderator
The 3D printing process allows for the creation of a lightweight moderator that won’t weigh down your air rifle. Additionally, the chosen filament material ensures the SKOUT® Tesla can withstand the demands of repeated use.
But the true testament to the SKOUT® Tesla lies in its remarkable sound reduction capabilities. Extensive testing and evaluation have confirmed that this innovative moderator surpasses expectations, delivering a significant reduction in noise without compromising performance.
The SKOUT® Tesla: A Testament to Innovation
The SKOUT® Tesla sound moderator represents a paradigm shift in air rifle noise suppression. By combining the ingenuity of Nikola Tesla with cutting-edge 3D printing technology, SKOUT® has created a product that delivers unmatched performance, exceptional sound reduction, and durability.
