Now here's a thought. There's a lot made about fitting Nitrous Kits to cars to boost the performance. The idea behind it being (apologies if I'm wrong) the added gas, Nitrous Oxide (N20), and the higher O2 contect in the air (36%) when mixed with the correct fuel, gives more power. Plus the cooling effect of the pressurised air stops the engine from cooking itself. |
still liquid means that it does not displace much (if any due to the
temperature drop) of the original airflow. And because it has much nitrogen
still to absorb the heat produced and prevent instant detonation and allow
controlled expansion instead.

Now how about instead of using Nitrox oxide we use Oxygen Enriched Air, (EANx or Nitrox, as used by scuba-divers). Would it work? |
To begin with it would be the same as adding oxygen to your motor.
It causes HORRENDOUS detonation, even in small amounts (been there! honda
50!) because it already has the free oxygen available. The free oxygen in
Nitrous Oxide is unavailable untill early in the combustion proces when
there is enough heat to free it. Its not a mixture but a compound.
And...
You HAVE to use liquid!
Compressed air (even with extra oxygen) at say 3000 psi as divers use takes
up the space in the inlet tract that would be normal air! So any power
increase would be minimal anyway, as you just effectively removed the
original intake system...
And the charge cooling from the latent heat of evaporation causes a
contaction of the normal (warm) air in the intake system.
This actually increases the normal airflow through the carb/throttle body up
to say 50 percent extra power increase.
And you cannot compress air into a liquid...
And...

would certainly be cheaper (15Litre 36% O2 approx £5) and availablilty would be far better (just go to your local dive shop!). |
expensive...

Now I need someone to calculate if it'll work. Here's what I think I know so far. |

N2O is a combined particle, 2 molecules nitrogen to 1 Oxygen. EANx is a combination of N2 plus O2. That is the molecules are bonded differently. |
itself into O2 quickly... O3 (ozone) soon also turns to O2...
And N2
Not a coumpound so the oxygen is available for causing detonation!
