This is the final chapter of the micro supercharger and that's because it failed...miserably. It was expected to be honest, but I still wanted to try it out, because I really like tinkering with this kind of stuff. That doesn't mean that everything is over. I will start the micro supercharger mk2, which is going to be a positive displacement blower like a roots supercharger. Then it will ne installed in the Wankel....or something bigger. We'll see ;)

Hey Johnny, before you totally scrap this venture, maybe try some of the suggestions in this section. I didn't go through all of the comments, so sorry if I'm repeating the suggestions of others' but I would recommend; 1. Looking at impellor design to include stub fins inbetween the main ones to make double the number of fins, as seen on real turbo/S.C. impellors. 2. Stronger gears, either by using substantially scaled up gears with chunkier teeth or full planetary. 3. Changing pulley sizes to get more mechanical advantage (in this case, speed). You did so well making these components, it would be a crying shame not to continue tinkering with it some more. I can understand the frustration, & look forward to seeing the positive displacement type being built, but would love to see a revisit to this project. Keep up the fascinating work, love those skills! 😉👍

he needs to add a stator to build up pressure, same as the centrifugal compressors on jet engines. You try and research them, they serve the same purpose as stators in axial compressors. agentjayz has videos on his channel that have explained the significance of stators.

@clicking on trees By watching his design & build skills, one can clearly see this guy has a lot of knowledge about materials & engineering. I don't think he started this thinking, "Brass is SO STRONG - I can overload it, and it will be fine!" I think it was more along the lines of, "How could I make this work - even with brass?" Also, there are other material properties of brass that makes it a good material to use, even in high speed cases. Things like friction and bearings come to mind. I think that He was just trying to make it work, and maybe the brass was there to be soft enough to "deform around the other gear teeth," maybe to compensate for any imperfections at this tiny size? What do you think? I don't think he would go to this much trouble for click bait. So many other things he has built have worked really well. Have a good one.👍

You need to put a stator after the impeller, or some sort of analogue to that. The air must be slowed down to increase in pressure (and thus give boost). Otherwise you just have a fancy centrifugal blower. If you look Up centrifugal compressor I am sure you will find the info you need. Agentjayz has videos on his channel about stators, and why they are needed.

aWhen Turbochargers and centrifugal superchargers are made, they have those smaller fins behind the main fins. The idea is to break the turbulence and stop the eddy current air that can keep you from Gaining boost. Before you completely scrap the idea, you might want to look at impeller design. I would certainly love to watch you build a positive displacement supercharger though... there are several different designs to choose from, watching build a Roots blower would be fun. A screw-type might be louder though.

Also inlet diameter plays a small roll also on vacuum pressure you go to big for impeller you loose pressure, Hope you finish it .. 3D print some different size inlet restrictors 0.5, 0.75, 1mm smaller than you have to plug and test. Can't wait to see it go and the blower build but this will work with your craftsmanship. GOOD LUCK

I second this. Material composition is also a primary concern once you start pushing tolerances including temperature. And five to six figure RPM speeds is nothing to slouch at. With that speed, gears would start hitting speeds where material composition would become a huge factor as gears rotate and heat up themselves along with surrounding pieces towards points of expansion or breakdown/torsion max and then breaks happen along stress points like the gear teeth. Brass is a rather flimsy material to use if you want to tolerate heat because it expands at rather lower temperatures than other metals which is one of the reasons why it's used for casing of ammunition. Steel would've been a better material choice, titanium if he has it on hand or a hard aluminum like 7170.

Your problem is sealing. If you want to attach this to a glow engine, you'll run into another problem; the carbs do NOT work worth a damn if they're downstream of a compressor. Do one more test with a centrifugal compressor. Put the carb upstream of the compressor. The castor oil in the fuel should seal the impellor and allow boost to build. You could probably get away with a 1:5 or 1:10 gearbox if you had extra sealing and I think itt'l get plenty if it's pulling A/F in through itself. This is how they're set up on actual hotrods that have carbs, too. The carbs sit on top of the blower.

Draw though setups (carb pre charger) are easier to get running, but are not very safe in full size applications as the fuel also gets compressed the whole journey to the engine, which turns your entire intake system a potential bomb if a backfire occurs, unless a pressure release fail safe is used, & as such, they aren't good to use with intercoolers, although I have seen aftercoolers used with this setup. Blow through setups (carb post charger) are tricky in that you need to pressurise the float bowl (or fuel metering block) to equalise the boost pressure thus to allow fuel delivery. The benefits are that only air is compressed through the intake tract, making intercooling more viable & safer with the fuel added closer to the engine. Model engine carbs generally don't use float bowls so the fuel tank itself would need more pressure than the usual exhaust pressure used to push the fuel through the carb jet, like a boost bleed line to the tank. EFI solved these problems in full size, but we're probably some way off seeing that in RC applications, although probably not that far off!

Also mate, Try a different oil rather than glow fuel. A low viscosity group 3 synthetic. Oh and yeah, don't give up. We're all watching and hoping the best comes of this project. Keep going. Oh and nice work with using a bit of Moly grease, I love me a bit of Moly!

When he says glow fuel I'm assuming he means RC nitromethane mixtures. For those fuels the incorporated lubricant is only mineral oil, which has no film strength and would not handle high pressures and soft metals of the small surface area gears.

No chance, a drill gearbox is made to turn 20-25k rpms from a motor into usable 500-2500 rpms at the chuck, and its big and bulky to take 70-80nm torque. you want the exact opposite, small, light, and it doesn't need to take a lot of torque but it needs to be able to turn that same 20-25k rpm into 150+k rpm, and a drill gearbox just isn't made for that speed, infact I don't know any existing gearbox that is, at this scale...

Hey, It has been so interesting to watch videos of this project. Please, don't give up on this supercharger yet! As many youtubers do, ask for some online help. I am sure someone is able to run a CFD simulation on your impeller design and tweak it to be more efficient. Another person would be able to help out with the gearbox. This project seems to be so popular that it should not be only your project. It is ours too! :)

@@stevend4544 I don't know if .5-1 psi of boost would make any more difference on this than a car engine. It has a much much smaller cylinder volume so boosing to .5 a psi would only add like 1/15th more volume of air meaning you could generally only use 1/15th more fuel than before. Theoretically it would make only 1/15th more power than it would before. For example it isn't very unheard of to have atmospheric pressure of around 15.2-.3 psi at sea level in certain conditions.
