I've been telling people this for YEARS. An electric self-recharging tank IS a supercharger. The tank its self is the intercooler. and the regulators are kind of like adjustable blow-off valves.

This system was developed by Mr. Bob Keane with input to the design by myself, in or about 1969. I along with Bob witnessed the testing of a Ford 427 engine using this system at Drake Engineering in Irvine,CA. The engine produced 1500 h.p., the limit of the dynamometer. The system was banned by the N.H.R.A. at that time.

I built one of those things ... It's called an air accelerator. Worked made like 2-4 psi boost with a tank at 100psi on a 2.2. I didn't get that complicated and have no claimed numbers but it worked I saw boost on the gauge at wot. So there's a possible hp increase with the proper fueling .Simple idea air accelerator's have been around forever but I think dyson has the patent on them currently . I was planning on selling the idea as a pushbutton turbo but the patents involved would cost to much to get it off the ground by myself

I highly suggest viewers watch your other video for an in depth look at the system. Kudos for making this a reality. I sincerely appreciate all the effort and commitment it took to engineer, design and produce the system. Very impressive that a couple of guys are responsible for the whole system and testing to optimize it. You should race it, the best way to market it is to beat your competition and make them want it so they can win too. Racers don't like to loose but the do appreciate what it takes to win. Wishing you much success.

I've never thought about this... and there's very few things automotive related that I've never seen, heard of, or thought about. Found the video by looking up "compressed air into intake" because I saw a comment about someone fixing a compression issue in a diesel by doing something with compressed air in the intake. Then I thought, compressed air has to be able to add a lot of power to an engine. Found the video to confirm it. Hope to see this idea used in some badass cars. Imagining a 2JZ, or a good rotary like the 20B is enough to hope this idea takes off.

@obituarybill15788 жыл бұрын
Honestly I think they should have it in the $3000-$4000 range (If possible) because it will attract a lot of people when they find out its cheaper than some other boosting setups. It also eliminates an intercooler which adds extra weight and clutters the engine bay. However the extra equipment, like the air tanks could counter the extra weight argument. The engine bay from what it looks like does have more items in it but not nearly as much from what I've seen in some cars. Regardless a cool concept
@casupercharging28838 жыл бұрын
Dawson, That was an original price target when we started on this 14 years ago. The reality is that to produce a system that worked correctly, everything had to be designed and fabricated from scratch. If you examine any of the components in detail you will note that what appears simplistic at first is in reality quite complex. All of the components are manufactured in Los Angeles by Aerospace job shops using domestically sourced materials. We chose to do it this way so that we can maintain tight control with regard to quality. The safety of our systems is paramount to us. So in short, the system is expensive because it is made up of a large number of high performance sub-components that have to work correctly and safely. It isn't for everyone, we've always known that. However, its' ability to make big horsepower easily while being very "soft" on parts does make it applicable to certain applications; the cost savings is on the back end: engines don't break. P.S. We should be out running the +1000 HP version of this system by late fall.
@obituarybill15788 жыл бұрын
I knew that $3000-$4000 is quite lofty especially with the complex components like you said. I still love the Idea and appreciate the amount of work you guys have put into making this a reality.

OK, I know about add-on power adders. I want to know if there's something adaptable to my motorcycle. The 4 cylinder Jap bike will not be used at the drag strip, just an every day commute motorcycle. I know it's possible, without a doubt, but I challenge anyone on these boards to find even an inkling of R and D, on such a device for a motorcycle. My idea is for a super-compact, ultra high revving, blower motor, that I might be able to adapt to my motorcycle (yes, it'll be cramped). It does not make sense that such a device does not yet exist, even for "off road use only". My ideal application would be to adapt this electric blower motor to my 100% stock 4 cylinder bike; to be ported in at the intake. It's not a super-bike, and does not have 'high compression', so it could definitely handle some "extra power". I love the bike though, and plan to hang onto it, regardless. Eventually, I'll come up with a solution as far as the blower's concerned. Yes, some aftermarket units can be found for Harley only, for their Big Twins (Sportsters, I don't know), but I'm looking for an electric motor, which, by all the research on the internet, DOES NOT YET EXIST for my Japanese bike. In my Jap bike's case, I do expect some obtrusive ducting to the intake.

Hi Frank, No. Like nitrous or alternative fuels such as CNG, LPG or H2 the cylinders need to be mounted in manner such that they are protected in a crash. Unlike the alt fuel cases, the contents of our cylinders is not combustible, hence they are inherently less dangerous. In the case of the Camaro we run, the cylinders are placed between the wheel tubs and mounted securely such that they cannot be dislodged.
