![]() This is far from running, but shows proof of concept. Through observation, one can see that the valves are indeed operating as designed, with the compressor valves opening on every crank rotation and the untouched cylinder opening on every other. ![]() For this demonstration, the starter motor was hooked up to a 12V battery and allowed to crank the motor over. The motor was displayed yesterday to show proof of concept as an internal supercharger. Long story short, if it can be shown that the valves on the motor are opening twice as often on the compressor side as on the combustion side, the motor should flow twice as much air. ![]() For a motor that intakes air with every rotation, instead of every other, this becomes mdot=pDN/60. ![]() Ideal air flow through a reciprocating pump, in this case an engine, can be calculated based as m dot(mass air flow)=pDN/120 for a 4 stroke motor, where p is air density, D is displacement, and N is rpm. ![]()
