General Motors Introduces Their New Ground-breaking Internal Combustion Engine Patent

Forced induction is indeed proven to be the future of the internal combustion engine, as we are now entering a new stage of automobile engineering.

The patent is titled as "Internal Combustion Engine Having a Two-Stage Turbocharger".

The patent is mainly done to outline the potential capability of the energy's maximum advantage. This is available in the exhaust stream that has a two-stage turbocharger.

What also makes this more interesting is that it is setup using turbochargers that vary in sizes.  This is also more energy efficient and accurate as it relies on an ECU which measures the engine speed and load in a consistent manner.

It reduces the amount of energy waste from the unnecessary force that it exerts to support the speed and load. It also suggests equipping a pair of butterfly valves to the two-stage twin turbo-charged engines.

This is an innovative way to get ahead of the game as it uses an electronic actuator, making the overall process seamless.

This is mounted on a mutual shaft in order for the other valve to open. This happens when the electronic actuator closes one valve.

There is an equilibrium process that happens here, making the physical distribution of force and weight of the car be balanced on both sides. This also allows the smaller and quicker spooling turbocharger to operate at slower engine speeds.

What is really good about this is that it enables the bigger turbocharger to be online when you need to speed up the game and go for higher speeds.
