True. And more space under the hood than you find in most Mustangs.

The other neat thing with electric drive is you can put the controller in the trunk. The only thing that would have to go in the engine bay would be the blower and the motor.

Alright, chemicals it is then. Add a little nitrous to the mix.

If you utilise an electric inductive motor for the off idle spool up, you could utilize a heavy duty sprag clutch to drive the turbine once the engine speed is sufficient enough to take over .

Ya know, though, you got me thinking (again), and ... with electric drive, neither the blower or the blower drive motor need to be in the engine bay. Put 'em in the trunk with the controller, route some ductwork to the engine, route some cooling air to the trunk (because a blower consuming 20-60KW will get warm!) ...

Back to the drawing board.

All that will weigh far more than a bottle of N2O.

Yes. But it'll work until the gas tank goes dry. And you can get gas anywhere. Not so with N2O. Such are the compromises of engineering.

How about fuel injectors for air on each cylinder?

OK Bozos, stop clowning around.

It's been mentioned already, the procharger i-drive uses an electrically actuated CVT to adjust ratios.These units are physically very large.

I think their choice of a fat electric motor was due to budgetary concerns for the consumer. Elimination of the belt and cones for conversion to a magnetic CVT would be ideal for this application imo. You'd have to account for slip angles at high rpm but I'm sure it's manageable.

Didn't the Blackbird have a LOX injection system because altitude?

No. It did have a tetra-ethyl borane injector. But that was to start the engines and light the afterburners.

TEB is nasty stuff. Toxic, corrosive, combustible and explosive. It’s worse than hydrazine. But if you want light JP-7 on fire, it’s what you need.

You got me distracted and talking about the Blackbird. I see what you did, there.
