Air Tank as turbo? - Page 4

RPM427 · 08-14-2002, 09:53 AM

O.K. I know how to make this work!!

we need to be able to pressurize the engine via air under high pressure. We have two options, A) carry a HUGE Air Tank around with us possibly on a trailer and spend thousands on our electric bill compressing it beforehand. OR B) Compress the air at the engine using the air already around us!!

Now, how can we do that? We can bolt on a gigantic air compress that runs off an electical system. of course we will need to trailer a generator and/or hundreds of lbs of batteries becuase the alternator we hvae is WAY too small. WAIT!!! why not ditch the motor driving the compressor and hook it up to the engine somehow!! Like a pulley on the crankshaft!!

Hmmmm... this sounds like it already exists.... IT IS CALLED A SUPERCHARGER!!
