ABSTRACT:
A pressure-wave supercharger for an internal combustion engine is incorporated into the engine flywheel. The supercharger includes a rotor with a plurality of cells extending axially of the rotor and arranged circumferentially about the rotor, an exhaust tube for introducing exhaust gas into the cells at one end of the rotor during rotation thereof, an ambient air inlet tube for introducing air into the cells at another end of the rotor during rotation thereof, the air introduced into the cells being compressed by the exhaust gas introduced into the cells. A compressed air inlet tube feeds the compressed air to the engine. The cells or channels of the rotor are formed within the flywheel itself such that the flywheel operates as the supercharger mechanism.
