After someone here mentioned electric superchargers, i have looked a little into it, and it seems like there are two reasons that they are not in use (BMW are working on implementing one on a car) :
- Cars, which use alot of air will have to have a supercharger that can deliver that air + the air for the pressure, and because of this, it will need a powerful electric motor to provide the power for it, and the electrical power has until now been a dealbreaker.
- Scooters and small engines often implement the technologies from the automobile industry when it becomes affordable, but unfortunately the sold electric superchargers looks like
this (plastic components, a weak motor and bad design) when they should be more like
this but just with an electric motor instead of the turbine. :p
As if the cheap design and effect of the "electronic superchargers" wasn't enough, they are usually just provided with an on/off swich so they cannot adjust their speed according to the engine.
Because of this, i have given myself a challange: I will make a prove of concept of an electric supercharger for a 50cc engine, so that Ecotrons might incorporate this in their EFI kit and making the ECU control the turbo. If this is possible, the turbo would be fully tunable and controlable where you would be able to set a wanted pressure at a given rpm/throttle and the ECU would control it to that pressure with the sensors which includes temp sensors and manifold air pressure sensor.
I do not know about the ECU and the ecotrons stuff, but i hope that he will solve the controlling device situation, if i can make an electrical charger, which can charge a small engine with only the electricity that is onboard.
To assist me, i have my brother, who studies physics so with our power combined, only money is in our way. Or the lack of it.
