Intercoolers are typically used to reduce the temperature of air being pushed into the engine by a turbocharger or supercharger, but Honda says its compressor doesn't need one.

The real meat of the technology tease comes from the centrifugal compressor Honda is using to compress the air molecules; that this electric supercharger doesn't rely on engine speed to drive its ...

Where turbochargers run off exhaust gas pressure, and superchargers are driven directly off the engine's output shaft, Honda's e-compressor runs off battery power.

Honda is paying homage to its 1980s days of racing with a new prototype: a motorcycle with a 3-cylinder, 4-stroke, electrically supercharged engine.

The big question is whether Honda can redesign its engine for next season to enable a turbo-compressor-MGU-H layout of the required efficiency. "That is the objective of the development," says Arai.

This gives you a sense of how skinny the V3 engine is, and what the compressor (red turbo-shaped thing) look like. Honda The electrical compressor is also interesting.

The water-cooled engine is being developed for large-displacement motorcycles and uses an electrical compressor to increase torque at lower engine speeds.

The BTX6565 was equipped with the latest HP compressor wheels, and as the Bisimoto Engineering Wagon houses a small displacement D16Z6 engine, spooling such a large turbo with a 65.5mm inducer ...

VMAC’s newly released G30+GEN delivers compressed air at 25 CFM and AC power at 3600 W, combining two convenient forms of power into one single innovative system powered by a Honda GX390 gas engine.
