AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of modifying an engine to compress air at bottom dead center (BDC) by introducing a plate to separate the crankcase and cylinder block. The idea is to use this compressed air to pressurize the intake manifold, similar to turbochargers and superchargers. While the concept is possible, it may result in lower output energy and efficiency. One participant suggests that a more complex design could allow for compressed air usage from both sides, potentially improving output. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need to balance design complexity with energy efficiency in engine modifications.

i need a clarification regarding my project work..

can we compress the air inside the cylinder at bottom dead center by modifing the engine by introducing a plate at BDC to separate crank case and cylinder block. piston bottom compresses the air which we introduced into cylinder just after expansion stroke using plate as obstacle and sends pressurized air to intake manifold.,

actually my idea i like compressing air to pressurize just like turbo and super chargers do.

does this idea is possible.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Yes it can be possible but this will lower the output energy or efficiency of the machine. Better to use the exhaust for chargers
 
Thank u Jmex..,
Thanks for your positive reply it really help me a lot to move further.
Thanks alot
 
one clarification jmex,
does reduction of output energy will be higher or lower?

What I believe from my experience will be less reduction in output but think about introducing another charge from the bottom portion. Design will be bit complicated but output will be great. This way you can use compressed air from both side as well as power from both side by every power stroke.
 
Sorry for late reply.
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
