I have no clue what you're talking about.
The air would travel further, yes. But think about when you dump a massive amount of water down the drain.....the water has a natural tendency to form a whirlpool. The flow of fluids will always take the path of least resistance and maximize the volume of fluid flow for a given state (such as pressure drop/flow resistance). I do not know if the mechanics of the intake system would form a favorable state to whirlpooling...I don't even know if what I'm saying makes sense or is valid. :o
I'm just proposing an idea, and looking to be a) proven right, or b) proven wrong.
I'm using a limited knowledge of fluid dynamics combined with random noise in my brain to come up with this stuff. I'd like someone with a better understanding to explain why I'm wrong or right. I don't think common sense will satisfactorily answer my questions....because I'm starting to doubt the validity of my question myself after thinking about it more.
