Thrust Augmentation BASIC OPERATION Power Boosting
BETWEEN THROTTLE VALVE AND ENGINE IS A PARTIAL VACUUM CAUSED BY SUCTION FROM ENGINE AND FLOW RESTRICTION THROUGH THROTTLE VALVE CARB. AIR FILTER INLET MANIFOLD EXHAUSTMANIFOLD ENGINE SIMPLIFIED PISTON ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM INLET MANIFOLD VACUUM THE PARTIAL VACUUM TENDS TO WORK AGAINST THE PISTON MOVEMENT MAKING IT HARDER FOR THEM TO PULL AIR IN AND THEREFORE, THE CYLINDER MAY NOT BE FULLY CHARGED 100% WITH AIR/FUEL MIXTURE IF AIR COULD BE FORCED INTO THE ENGINE, THERE WOULD BE A GREATER VOLUME OF AIR/FUEL IN THE CYLINDER LET’S SEE HOW THEREFORE MORE POWER WOULD BE PRODUCED SO HOW COULD THIS BE ACHIEVED? BY USING AN AIR COMPRESSOR
