But would the engine also only be 1/64th the capacity so the ratio of blower volume to capacity would be the same for full size as it would for the model?I suppose there are also two types of model, the scale one that mimics the original supercharger and looks right, this will run for display and not be put to work so does not really matter what effect the supercharger has. Then there is the performance model engine that is likely to have a non scale looking supercharger that does increase performance but would look out of scale if upped to full size. I see some of the 1/5th scale off road models are now sticking blowers onto their engines. I think the power increse speaks for itself[youtube1]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bi5h7Tf2BY[/youtube1]
Hmm, that Bentley is quite some piece of work, but will that scale blower work AS a blower on a scale engine. My point about the reduced volume was in connection with the fact that you can't scale nature. The air and fuel molecules are not reduced by scale and so are likely, maybe (I don't KNOW) to be affected differently by the supercharging. The thing on the 1/5th engine is designed (with no pretense to scale appearance or size) to suit that engine and clearly does so very well, but then it's not a scale engine is it? It's a glorified weed whacker basis with tune up goodies. It's a full sized engine in its own right. Very different from a scale V8 running a scale blower.Martin
