Ok, it's kinda a "lifter" farm but instead of lifting a load it'll just eat air in and shove it out. Each hole is 1/128" (1/64" squares) and contains a Biefeld-Brown effect lifter. The whole contraption is 6744 air movers all bundled together in a package about the size of the palm of your hand. While it would only span an area about the size of your hand, it eats VERY high voltage / low amp DC current and might just move a nice amount of air for its size. My next step is to scale the design up to something like a catalytic converter size device with closer to 250 boosting layers (instead of the 4 in the drawing) and a rounder opening of about 5". As each layer accelerates the air to the next layer it should build up speed, and eventually it'll trade that speed for pressure like a centri or a turbo. Get enough of them and the air can move pretty quicky. Confining the effect to very small areas will admittedly have a completely unknown effect. It's still a concept right now. If it ever works out though it'll run kinda hot so that's a step that has to be figured out too. Just think of it... 65000 micro-superchargers huffing away. There will of course need to be something like a small hydrogen fuel cell in play to power the device.

 

O.....K........???????????????? I think

 

I prefer just one big electric supercharger.

 

What if you force feed air into it? would it work to increase boost if you had it working with FI

 

Hold on ...... take a step back ....... AND LITERALLY **** YOUR FACE! Just kidding but seriously think about that for a second ....

Yeah, you got it now.

 

Alright **** you explain to me why it wouldn't work

 

I wonder how much PSI a leaf blower puts out.

 

I don't think so. I would doubt it. See below.

Now now.. be nice.

He has no idea but wanted to make fun of you.

Now then, it works like an linear electric motor (think rail gun but a different principle and air is the projectile). Each little passage has a specific capacity of air mass that it can move. As you exceed the mass rating of each passage you decrease the velocity change each field is able to impart onto the air in its area of effect. If you bump the field strength then each passage can move more but forcing air into it will negate the utility of the device entirely because you immediately exceed the lifting capacity of the front row. I think at best case it would cause a feeling similar to turbo lag.

Remember, this is entirely theoretical on this scale. I've never played with anything that has 180,000 wires 1/128" long. The really hard part becomes how to manufacture a small scale prototype.

A mustang v8 engine at WOT would probably overpower the leaf blower.

Electric leaf blower makes what.. 70-80mph air from a tube 2.25" across at best. My 5.4 can have air moving at 100mph through a 3" tube.

On a honda, maybe you'd get 2psi at the mid-range RPM's but by WOT I bet it sucks through the leaf blower.

 

What if it (theoretically) forced already compressed air into the turbo/supercharger
