The turbocharger, popularly known as turbo, is a device present in many internal combustion vehicles, from car engines to ship mechanics! The turbo serves to improve the performance of an engine through the forced induction of oxygen, and is composed of two rotors: the hot chamber or turbine and the cold chamber or compressor. Although the system itself is simple, it took a long time to gain commercial viability and become popular. The invention is old, being authored by the Swiss engineer Alfred Büchi, whose first patent is from 1905! The most incredible thing is that since this patent until today, the main concept has remained the same! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The history and evolution of Diesel engines: • THE HISTORY and evolution of DIESEL ENGINES How a plane from the First World War worked: • WHAT A FIGHTER PLANE FROM THE FIRST WORLD WAR WAS LIKE...
