Patent number: 10774730Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for utilizing crankcase compression air to effect forced air induction (i.e. “boost”) into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine is provided. In some embodiments, the apparatuses are a supercharger apparatus that is attached to an existing engine. In other embodiments, the supercharger components are located within the structure of a novel engine itself. An embodiment of the apparatus includes a conduit that includes three inlets: 1) an inlet that is capable of being placed in fluidic communication with the crankcase chamber of an engine; 2) an inlet that is capable of being placed in fluidic communication with an intake to a combustion chamber of the engine; and 3) an inlet in fluidic communication with the atmosphere.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2014Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: NAUTILUS ENGINEERING, LLCInventor: Matthew Riley

Patent number: 10454120Abstract: A fuel cell system in a vehicle has a cathode and an anode. A compressor has an inlet and an outlet, the outlet being configured to outlet a compressed air from the compressor. A bypass line is configured to return the compressed air from the outlet to the inlet such that the air returns to the compressor in a loop. A valve is located downstream of the compressor and is operable in a plurality of modes. In a first mode, the valve is configured to block the air from the cathode and return the air via the bypass line. In a second mode, the valve is configured to direct at least some of the air to the cathode. The valve can also be configured to operate in a third mode in which the air is sent to the cathode without going through the bypass line.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2016Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Craig Michael Mathie, Martin Pryor, Matthew Riley
