All we have to do is make these hybrid battery packs a lot lighter.
Then you would have a power source for an e-charger...a turbocharger driven by an electric motor.
Some guy actually got it to work on an Altima and actually shows a substantial power increase. But his car is a dyno-queen because it's got to haul around a rack of deep cycle batteries.
An extra 160lbs all the time for a short 20 hp boost? Not worth it. Not now. If they can pare that down to maybe 25-40lbs? Maybe.
But then again you could probably just use those ultralight battery packs to drive electric motors on normally undriven wheels or something.:what:
or perhaps with VVT we could make an engine switch back and forth from Miller cycle to supercharged otto cycle :what:
Someone will figure something out.
