ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for supercharging a four cycle internal combustion engine has at least one inlet reed or check valve and at least one outlet reed or check valve associated with each cylinder of the internal combustion engine. The crankcase of the engine is maintained air tight and if the engine is multi-cylindered, the crankcase must be provided with some form of air tight separation between each cylinder inside the crankcase. When the engine is rotating, each up-stroke of each piston causes an air charge to enter the respective crankcase section for that cylinder through its associated inlet reed or check valve. Each down-stroke of the piston causes compression of the charge in the associated section of the crankshaft and delivery of this pressurized charge through the associated outlet reed or check valve. The outlet reed or check valve is in communication with the carburetor or fuel injection system of the engine to provide this supercharged charge to the intake system of the internal combustion engine thus supercharging the engine.

Situation 1:You have a terminal inlless.I have created and hold a pill which will cure your inlless. How much would you be willing to pay me for it?The correct answer is likely close to the total of all your liquidated assets plus everything you could possibly borrow, minus a reserve to maintain a minimally bearable quality of life.Situation 2:You have a terminal inlless. You are given the cure pill as a right. You take it and swallow it.Now I ask you how much you are willing to reimburse me for producing your lifesaving pill.Your answer is that you had a "right" to the pill and you are willing to pay almost NOTHING. Even the most appreciative and generous of survivors would pay FAR LESS than the pill was actually worth to them. They wouldn't liquidate ANY valuable assets.Situation 1 is capitalist. It represents economic reality and provides the maximum incentive to INVENT the cure pill in the first place. It ensures that risk and resource costs are adequately compensated.Situation 2 is socialist and represents the warped leftist view of reality and provides no incentive to invent the cure pill. Risk taking is punished and therefore is never undertaken. Resources costs are not covered, so the producer runs an economic deficit. It cannot continue this in the long run.In Situation 2, the pill never exists and you DIE. If the pharmaceutical company makes the mistake of producing the pill for one disease, they will never make the mistake again for another disease.Socialism = Death, but the deaths attributable to socialism are largely uncountable. You suffer and die from the goods and services NOT provided.The "right" to affordable goods doesn't benefit you when the shelves are empty.
