ELECTRIC SUPERCHARGER

Well the prototype is a success, Tao from hypergear turbos has built a successful electric supercharger. It was done as a bit of fun as the car actually made 350rwkw not long after on e85 fuel and one of his custom turbo chargers.

This car picked up 15-20rwkw on my dyno running on turnigy lipos...

Video soon.

Bit different but you get a quick glimpse of what i get to play at my business/ day job / second hobby :P

Originally posted by Oinquer nice.... you aint gonna sell this like those in ebay? Reduces fuel consumption by 50% while upgrading your engine power to the double! buy now and get an extra Turbocharge!

NO, definately not but so far its the most power from any electric supercharger we have tested ever...

Its never gonna match the turbo and mechanical superchargers we do but i reckon on a smaller engine we could double the boost easy.

turbo zet has been available for many years. they started using bilge extraction fans now use matched edf fans in paralell

Originally posted by *STATUS* haha yeah the turbo zet things are garbage hey :P this was a light hearted project, that gave surprising results.

Yes if a blade comes off it goes into the inlet manifold. not good.

If I had the cash i would try driving a modern twin screw positive displacement s/c with a big elec motor.
the reason is the pd blowers would work at around 15,000 rpm on my 5lt V8.
but for a turbo u would need around 55,000 rpm for the same boost on my 5lt V8
so go with the pd blower for best results,
ps i would drive it from an aditional 12v battery

Nice Good power and torque. I have to make do with 198RwKw from the v8 in my 1650kg Statesman..
A bit more info would be good 6.0lt or 6.2 ? a start

ps if this car eva makes it to S.A. let me know and i will emerge from my poker den long enough to come and take a look/listen.

pps u know ur a car nut when say to a friend "have you Heard my new car yet"
