Cal3thousand Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 So, is it possible/feasible to used compressed oxygen or air to force feed an engine?Besides the dangers of having the tank in your car, what's to stop someone from developing a boost "supplement" mechanism.Chuck?DISCUSS:(am i just crazy?)

Just turbocharge your turbocharger. . Now that I think about this may actually have been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwebb Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 dont you think compressed oxygen would be a whole lot easier and cheaper than using nitrous?oxygen would burn too hot and blow the whole thing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwebb Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 i should also point out that nitrous itself is not flammable. it is simply nitrogen and oxygen - the same stuff as the air we breathe. and this is taken from wiki - nitrous is roughly 33% oxygen vs only 21% in the air. inject it under pressure, and add a bunch more fuel = mo powa its not just a marketing ploy. there is a reason they sell nitrous and not compressed oxygen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets say our max boost is 20 psi. It wouldn’t take that large of a cylinder to provide a volume of 20 psi air ported into the throttle body some how. Once the turbo has spun up, it wouldn’t be needed and could recharge. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxygen is much more combustible than NO2. The high intake temp would make it ignite before it even got into your cylinders. The reason they use NO2 is because it takes a relatively high amount of energy to break the oxygen nitrogen bond so the oxygen isn't free until its inside your combustion chamber. Inject some oxygen into your intake manifold and watch your car blow up, just make sure you have the camera rolling before hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pops Racer Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Water/Meth injection. Probabbly cheaper and safer. Unless you are building a 12 second car I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
