Thanks to Ekster for sponsoring today's video. Go to shop.ekster.com/donutmedia and/or use code DONUT to claim your discount.
At a topic meeting, someone pitched the idea of electric turbos. But we can't make an episode on those. There isn't any science, they're a classic eBay power-promising scam. Everyone knows that. Mighty Car Mods did a video on them like 10 years ago and proved it. But wait... cleetus made a video and did make power with an electric turbo. And Audi has a car going into production that uses what they call an "e-turbo"? And actually, every car on the F1 grid uses an electrically assisted turbocharger? So, they work? How? And why did this piece of tech go from totally-a-scam to inside every engine in the pinnacle of motorsport?
This simple idea is popping up all over the place. But why now?

@BigUriel
@BigUriel Жыл бұрын
It's actually complicated, depends on the operating point of the turbo and how well optimized the engine was to work with it. Turbos cause losses via an increase in exhaust manifold pressure, this pressure is pushing down on the pistons during the exhaust stroke and trying to slow them down. Exactly the same way a supercharger is pulling on the crank hub trying to slow it down. But the exhaust gases are still expanding from the combustion, and when this expansion happens *in* the turbine then the turbo is using energy that would simply have blown right out the exhaust (the exhaust gases simply come out cooler). If the turbo is being used in its peak efficiency zone then you get more "free" energy from the expansion of the exhaust gases than you lose from the backpressure in the exhaust manifold, and the turbo actually increases overall engine efficiency (one of the ways in which turbocharged engines can achieve better fuel consumption). When you push a turbo past it's peak efficiency range though the losses caused by the backpressure can outweigh the gains in the gases expanding in the turbine. This is usually how modded turbocharged cars operate, and why they generally get shit fuel efficiency - an OEM turbo operates at peak efficiency while a modded turbo operates at peak airflow (or as close to it as the tuner can get). An electric supercharger is always a net energy loss when actually used to compress air - it takes more energy to generate the electricity to drive the supercharger than the energy you get back in the compressed air when you power it. However an electric supercharger can use electricity that was produced, for example, by charging the battery during decceleration, like a regenerative braking of sorts, so you're powering the supercharger with energy that you were going to throw away anyway.

The battery only charges when the alternator is charging at over 13.8v so really there is no loss as the battery does not charge when the engine is under load. Sure there technically is parasitic loss but you would never notice this driving because it charges up when the alternator is already putting out that electricity and if you don't use it is gone.

I saw something a couple years ago how someone hooked up a power inverter to a leaf blower to create forced air induction. It worked. A big issue was air temperature because the leaf blower produces very warm air which of course is counter productive. He did increase his power a noticeable amount though.

There are turbos with e-motor between turbine & compressor (connected on the shaft via e-clutch), it has 2 tasks: 1) "recuperating overboost" - slowing down the turbo & generating electricity. 2) spooling up the turbo to avoid lag. It's used in mainly in track cars, known as MGU-h

Biggest advantage of an electric turbo is the "decoupling" from the engine imo. You can spin the electric turbo at any speed you want anytime you want. For the kind of power you only need occasionally, it makes sense...almost like a nitrous bottle that can fill itself from your alternator. I don't think it would work well for a large truck engine or something, but for a passenger car to have some more oomph for passing or merging or just for fun? It works.

I'm thinking that Subaru may have used them in the 91 through 94 Legacy. Because my dad was a rural letter carrier for years had one of those and when you mash the gas you would hear a high-pitched spinning sound and a light would come on on the dash saying power. After the car had given up the ghost me and my brothers were tearing into it a bit and there's a switch under the accelerator which appears to activate it.

Depends the power level of Electric Turbo. Electric motors close to 10kw can have crazy high RPMs and enough air flow to feed a 3.0L or less engine. It just would strangle on large displacement engines. The early legit electric compressors were around 5kw thus why they could not feed the top end.

A few years ago I did a research with a team (non car enthusiasts) about "turbocharging" a Prius. The theory is at low speeds (about 1-15MPH) it has more than enough acceleration with the motors. That acceleration then goes down with the engine kicking in. During the times when the motors are not in use and more power is needed we can use the massive battery to spool up a force induction system to give more power to the engine.

Here, out at sea, on a big boat, we use some big ole electric turbos on our ship's main engine when the turbocharger can't make enough scavenge (boost) pressure. We've had them since, like the 90s, or something. But our setup isn't exactly typical, because the engine itself is a 2-stroke the size of a cathedral where a human can fit in the crank case or in a cylinder. Same principle though :)

Thank you for addressing the alternator part I get into arguments with people over electric cooling fans all the time and they refused understand adding electric fans doesn't increase engine power only shifting the load to the alternator other than having a remote radiator the only benefit an electric fan has is you're not adding another flywheel to the engine letting it rev up slightly faster but you're not truly getting any power gains. The only other benefit to an electric fan is you dont need to take it off to replace accessory belts.

I have a possibly bizarre suggestion but also possibly very cool. We owned a 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid. It was no sports car but 270 combined hrsprs at the wheels could be fun. That had the old lead acid 240v battery hybrid system used on the Escape for 10 years. Later we got a 2015 C-Max and it was markedly quicker and spunkier. They are getting quite a bit cheaper now and lots of parts might crossover from aftermarket Focus or Fusion. Stripping and souping up a C-Max, especially with a battery powered supercharger could be super cool!

A lot of it is lightweight components made out of really strong alloys combined with really good oiling and cooling systems. Like how they’re all gonna be dry sump and normally run spray bars in the valve covers to spray oil on the valve springs and keep them cooler. They’ve also gone to smaller connecting rod bearings so there’s less rotating weight.

It's a solid idea, but it's like a computer in a sense. In the older days you had one CPU handle all the tasks of the computer, now you have multi core processors that handle a lot more and are augmented with a good GPU for graphics. Same for electric turbos. If anyone remembers the Mazda RX-7 had a twin turbo setup. But it actually wasnt a twin turbo, it was a two stage compressor. Low stage for idle up to 2400 rpm's or so, high stage for 2400 rpm to redline. I know it's a very basic explanation, but it does work. Now to get an electric turbo to act as a low stage sounds feasible, but it's part of the whole turbo setup as opposed to acting as the only turbo in the vehicle. It might work in the future as battery and other technology improves, but for a viable aftermarket add on? Not for now, just stick with what works and for now, what works can be either a single, or traditional twin turbo setup. At least until electrics takes over completely.

I could see this being practical for a car that is already a hybrid and really wants to give the vehicle just that much more passing power and off the line power. It doesn't need to be enough boost to make the heads fly off, just enough to get more low end torque from a small 4banger

Technically speaking, electric turbochargers are NOT turbochargers. 'Turbo' means turbine and almost every engine with 'turbo' in their name has a turbine such as a Turbojet, Turbofan, Turboprop, or Turboshaft. All these engines have turbines to drive their shafts. Electric turbos themselves don't use a turbine for power, it's just a compressor bolted to an electric motor. You can call it an electric supercharger and it would be the same thing.

I dont think they can handle those high voltages. Seems to me like the mild-hybrid system with 48v is the best solution. Plus in the high voltage system they would have to add alot of savety features to the turbo which would be more expensive than a 48v version without any need of savety systems.
