Air induction system water relief door

An engine aspiration method comprising:

• drawing a fluid mixture downwardly into a generally vertical oriented first fluid channel;
• drawing the fluid mixture into a channel joint in fluid communication with a generally non-vertical oriented second fluid channel and a liquid collector disposed below the channel joint, such that a gas fluid within the fluid mixture would upwardly flow into the second fluid channel and non-gas fluid within the fluid mixture would flow into the liquid collector in which a first portion of weight of the non-gas fluid would be supported by a trapdoor;
• and
• releasing the non-gas fluid out of the trapdoor in response to the trapdoor being exposed to a predetermined bias force differential value defined by a vacuum force value and the first portion of weight.

A vehicle comprising:

• an air intake defining a first fluid channel;
• a fluid reservoir defining a second fluid channel, the reservoir interacting with the intake such that the first fluid channel and second fluid channel form a channel joint and are in fluid communication;
• an outlet having a liquid collector, a fluid duct extending from the liquid collector and defining a third fluid channel and an aperture, and a trapdoor configured to partially seal the aperture;
• and
• a vehicle engine configured to produce a vacuum force value causing a fluid mixture flow from atmosphere through the first fluid channel into the channel joint and air within the fluid mixture to flow into the second fluid channel, while gravity causes water within the fluid mixture to flow from the channel joint into the liquid collector and out of the trapdoor, in response to the trapdoor being exposed to a predetermined bias force differential value defined by the vacuum force value and a portion of a weight of the water.
