Abstract: Electric multiple stage variable forced air induction systems are disclosed herein. A housing defines a conduit therethrough with an exit (output) opening and an entry (intake) opening. The exit opening is to couple to and provide airflow to an air intake opening of a combustion engine. The entry opening is to receive air for delivery through the conduit to the exit opening. A plurality of stages generate thrust to increase airflow through the conduit and to the air intake opening of the combustion engine. Each stage can comprise a turbine housing component, a turbine rotor to rotate about an axis and generate thrust on air as it passes through the conduit in a direction parallel to the axis, and a motor coupled to and configured to turn the turbine rotor. One or more processing devices receive inputs indicating engine parameters and control the motor of each stage.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for monitoring and controlling the air intake of combustion motor with a forced air turbine electronically coupled thereto for the purposes of controlling the same. A processor electrically linked to the forced air turbine electric motor controller and configured with defined parameters to correlate forced air turbine instructions with engine and intake air pressure conditions. The system includes sensors electrically coupled to the forced air turbine electric motor controller configured to send information from the air intake, forced air turbine, throttle position and other conditions of the engine coupled thereto. The forced air turbine electric motor controller is configured to control the air intake based upon the input received from the various sensors as compared to the data contained in the processor. The system provides turbine speed control to the mass of intake air.
