Supercharging Free Power

Postby mjslonergan » Wed Apr 11, 2012 8:11 pm

Inspired by the Electric Supercharger thread, I put a lot of thought(about ten minutes on the loo) into the best way to preserve power to weight ratio, and Supercharge an engine without mechanical losses, and like all the best ideas it was simple really... the passenger has long been a pointless lump of weight, getting a free ride and putting in no effort...

Gentlemen, I give you the passenger powered Supercharger... potential investors please pm for details...

Once the guy from the Nigerian lottery, has paid my winnings into my account, I'll be in touch about investing in this idea :wink:

I will take any form of post dated cheques, foreign bank draughts, money orders in Tanzanian shillings or indeed barter for chickens or other livestock...

Once my cousin in Nigeria has finished organising the lotto, I will get my Russian cousin to organise that bride for you... My Chinese cousin is ready to start manufacture very soon, so don't hesitate to invest...

I'll keep an eye on retailandtradeoutlet's eBay page to see if any Russian brides get lost in the post. ;)

You could do what my mate Chris has done. Rigged up a pedal powered generator to power a motor on his recumbent bike. ;)

Would the increase in power be enough to cancel out the extra ballast of having to have a passenger though?

I find that a passenger can be encouraged to do most things efficiently when threatened with being flung out of a moving vehicle... FEAR the leveller of all power to weight ratios...
