Gimmick, 2 strokes cannot be effectively supercharged unlike 4 strokes due to there being no valves.

Wether it's valves that open at specific times or ports, it makes no differance, I've watched the video and as a mechanic from an engineering point of view I don't see how it's a gimmick, it's forcing air and fuel mixture into the cylinder increasing volumetric efficiency, I would like to see dyno stats but I do genuinely think its will have an increase in performance wether its viable for the price is a different question, just my opinion.

James, GET ONE AND TELL US!!

You've been buying 1/10 left, right and centre the last 6 months - get the 1/5 motoring!!

Just a wind up.
Looks interesting.
Belt still looks exposed.
How would it operate once (not IF) the belt breaks?

Have a read of this;

All a supercharger will do is waste fuel on a 2 stroke by blowing most of the charge out of the exhaust. Thats why they never made supercharged 2 stroke gp bikes.

I see what your saying mate with blowing it through and wasting it, but there is going be that split second where the exhaust port is closed and inlet is open allowing the ram air effect to work, like I said mate it wud be interesting to see dyno read outs or engine test bed read outs just to see what gains there are

Don't forget it will also draw power as it runs.

Its probably another one to hang on the Christmas tree next to the boost bottles

..... Looks like somebody should be designing reinforced Christmas Trees!!

On a 2 stroke a blower is just a schavenge pump. It can only move fuel / air through the engine but it cannot preasurize the cylinder due to the fact that a 2 stroke exposes the intake and the exhaust ports to the atmosphere at the same time during the cycle

LOL boy was the boost bottles a waste of time.

 

[mischief27]

They should design a sliding valve to go over the intake port that would move up and down over the intake port there must be a way with using the pully system already in use

Interesting vid....
