Hi Steemians!
"Is downsizing has come to the Scuderia?!"— cried the fans of the brand Ferrari saw the news about patented naduvnoj the Quartet. Unfortunately or fortunately, but we do not yet know why it is Italian motorists patented an unusual unit — maybe it will become the "heart" for the reincarnated model Dino, maybe it will be written under the hood of the new Maserati or Alfa Romeo, and maybe it's an engineering exercise without any production prospects. But the idea is interesting.
The impeller installed in the exhaust manifold turns the generator, which produces electricity and stores it in the battery. The energy is then used to drive the electric traction motor and the second impeller (compressor) installed in the intake manifold. The lack of a rigid connection between the two impellers allows for smooth control of the back pressure on the release and thus get rid of the effect of the plugged throat, typical of all turbo motors, that is, this Ferrari engine will sing! The electrical component of the system completely eliminates turbojam, so you can expect a strong acceleration throughout the Rev range.
Of the additional bonuses — excellent environmental performance and efficiency. But only 4 cylinders... for the previous relatively low-end models Dino Scuderia did 2.0-liter engines, but those had at least 6 cylinders, but the "four" on serial Ferrari before not used. However, perhaps, and will not.
