Abstract
Electronic induction system tuning featuring electronic pressure charging for an intake tract of an internal combustion engine is disclosed herein. The electronic pressure charging system includes a pressure sensor, a signal generator, and a wave generator. The signal generator causes the wave generator to create a pressure wave in response to monitored parameters and a pressure wave detected by the pressure sensor. The generated pressure wave may be added to, cancel, or otherwise modify the detected pressure wave to increase, decrease, or otherwise manipulate the pressure within a combustion chamber of the engine.

A method of manipulating pressure in an internal combustion engine, comprising a pressure sensor, a signal conditioner, and a wave generator, said method comprising:
- sensing a pressure wave using said pressure sensor;
- communicating said sensed pressure wave to said signal conditioner;
- generating an electronic wave form using said signal conditioner in response to said sensed pressure wave;
- transmitting said electronic wave form to said wave generator;
- and
- generating a pressure wave using said wave generator based upon said electronic pressure wave.
An electronic pressure charging system for pressurizing a confined volume, comprising:
- a first pressure sensor;
- a signal conditioner;
- and
- a first wave generator, wherein:
- said first pressure sensor is configured to detect a first pressure wave,
- said signal conditioner is configured to generate an electronic waveform in response to said sensed pressure wave, and
- said first wave generator is configured to generate a pressure wave based upon said electronic waveform generated by said signal conditioner.
