Brief Description
This project's aim is to design and develop a Proto-type Exhaust Gas Booster system which could possibly boost the power of the automobile engine. The engine's exhaust gases, which would normally be discarded by being emitted at the tailpipe would be utilized to drive the vehicle's accessories specifically the alternator. This could be compared to an electrical turbine in a geothermal power plant where pressurized steam is used to rotate turbine blades. The project aims to increase the power of the engine while decreasing its fuel consumption and minimizing air pollution through using the exhaust gases that normally comes out from the exhaust pipe of the automobile to propel the pulley of the alternator of an engine. A larger proportion of the engine's power would now be freed and made available for propelling the vehicle. As other outcome, pollution from vehicle emissions would be reduced because the exhaust gases will circulate in a tough cylinder like the cylinder of an air compressor that contains an embedded a filter that clean the engine exhaust gases before it will run to the engine accessories. The idea is simply like a turbo charger which is driven by the exhaust gas to draw more air inside the cylinder bank of an engine.

A modified research and development process will be employed since this study will revolve in fabricating devices that completes an Exhaust gas booster system for an automobile.

The methods and procedure of fabricating the device will be window shopping on the device with the study leader in order that materials will be surely suited in the making and designing of the device after which a 4 to 8 months fabrication of the devices. The next procedure will be pre-testing and evaluation before the device will be subjected to final evaluation in terms of its advantages like fuel consumption, structural composition and smoke emission with the same engine.
