Creating the Engine
Bugatti did two thing to make a compact engine able of producing 1,000 H.P. . The first and most obvious thing isturbocharging .
If you have readHow Turbochargers Work , you roll in the hay that one leisurely way to make an locomotive more powerful without making the engine big is to stuff more tune into the cylinders on each intake stroke . Turbochargers do that . A turbo pressurise the air come into the piston chamber so the piston chamber can hold in more air .
If you stuff doubly as much air in each cylinder , you’re able to cut double as much gas . In reality , it ’s not quite a consummate ratio like that , but you get the thought . The Bugatti uses a maximum turbo boost of 18 pounds per square inch to double the output power of its locomotive engine .
Therefore , turbocharging allows Bugatti to cut the size of the engine from 16 liters back down to a more manageable8 l .
To generate that much air pressure sensation , the Bugatti requiresfour separate turbochargersarranged around the locomotive engine .
The second thing Bugatti technologist did , both to keep the RPM redline high and to low-pitched lag clip when you press the catalyst , was to double the number of cylinders . The Bugatti has a very rare16 - piston chamber engine .
There are two easy fashion to create a 16 - piston chamber engine .
The latter proficiency is , in fact , the agency Bugatti create its first 16 - cylinder car in the early 20th one C .
For the Veyron , Bugatti choose a much more thought-provoking way of life . Essentially , Bugatti merged two V-8 engines onto one another , and then let both of them share the same crankshaft . This configuration create theW-16 enginefound in the Veyron . The two V ’s create a W. you could see on the nose how this looks in a set of beautiful TV available on theBugatti Web site(click here for instructions on how to get at the videos ) .
Then , Bugatti start up piling on feature to make the railway locomotive even better …
