Salut, super intéressant merci !
Commentaire du dessinateur du brevet de la techno anti lag présenté dans la vidéo
"
I just stumbled across this video, and was extremely pleased to see you cover a system I worked on during my SWRT days. I was the designer on this system, that was invented, developed brought to competition by Roland Broadbent. All the drawings from the patent you used were done by me. Some additional points:
1. No ignition system was used because the rules didn’t allow for a secondary ignition source after the engine spark plugs.
2. The idea came from a diesel French tank in the 1960’s that had what’s called a hyper charger, but that had its own ignition system.
3. Combustion in the chamber was initiated by the plate on the end of probe in the centre of the chamber, that flowed cherry red due to the hot exhaust gases coming from the engine. This plate restricted flow and reduced the top power of the engine. This later evolved to annular ring that was less restrictive to the flow through the chamber.
4. The boost tank used by Ford was illegal, but passed scrutineering when discovered. SWRT went the next rally with a bear barrel doing the same job. After that boost chambers on all cars were outlawed.
5. Different ALS systems were used on customer WRC cars.
6. A road car version was developed for STi by Prodrive, but never went to production due to cost and long term durability.
