Silly engine ideas

Post

Don't know if it's possible or would make sense weight or performance. Could an engine have individual turbochargers per cylinder straight out of the cylinders.
Equally could an engine have individual air intake and superchargers

nothing silly about engines with individual air intake per chamber

quad-turbo 4-cylinder? sure, why not

Image

8-supercharged engines never seen ,but there is this pearl

Image

it's possible - but the biggest question is, is there any benefit.

supercharged engines dont benefit really from a supercharger per cylinder - due to the way it works and is constructed.

likewise turbo's theoretically impose a benefit BUT the additional effort there don't weigh up to simply using one - or two - for the same job.
if you can reach the same with just 1, no need for more, especially if bringing in more would only degrade usability, increase weight (biggest concern), complicate things, and hamper reliabilty.

google is your friend. i literally googled the above and tadaaa.
