Abstract:
A supercharge compound configuration of a forced induction intake and/or breather system for an internal combustion engine is provided. The system may be configured to improve the power output of an internal combustion engine when considered against similar internal combustion engines with conventional forced induction systems. The supercharge compound configuration may comprise a turbine that may be driven by the exhaust of the internal combustion engine. The turbine may also be operatively and/or directly coupled to a gearbox and/or a compressor.
Abstract:
A hybrid power distribution system for an aircraft generates hydraulic power from one of a plurality of power sources based on which power source provides energy most efficiently. Power sources includes an electric power distribution bus that distributes electrical energy onboard the aircraft, a pneumatic distribution channel that distributes pneumatic energy onboard the aircraft, and mechanical power provided by one or more engines associated with the aircraft.
