Abstract
The encased exhaust is a traditional aftermarket expansion chamber muffler system for a two stroke engine encompassing a duct fan/propeller. The propeller is mounted directly to the engine's driveshaft, eliminating reduction gears and belts allowing for more airflow and less weight. This eliminates the muffler and replaces the cage on a paramotor, allowing for more airflow through the funneled air duct. The configuration of these two functions exists in a particular sequence.
Claims1
An exhaust device to increase airflow through an engine thereby increasing engine power, comprising:
- a two stroke engine that contains a ducted fan liner and further including an encased expansion chamber exhaust ring;
- the encased expansion chamber exhaust ring provides airflow through a funneled exhaust airduct of the ducted fan liner;
- the encased expansion chamber exhaust ring is assembled around the ducted fan liner and is configured to funnel exhaust from the engine into the exhaust airduct;
- the encased expansion chamber exhaust ring is manufactured of sheet metal formed in a circle, the width of the sheet metal varies according to the different number of the expansion chamber stages;
- the inner side of the encased expansion chamber exhaust ring contains an inlet and outlet and is welded to the respective inlet and outlet ducted fan liner cylinder;
- the end and beginning of each expansion chamber stage contains either a divergent or convergent diffuser cone arrangement, with the engine header connected to a divergent cone.
