Why is electric better than a turbo or supercharger?

thomas knight : turbo upgrades + superchargers
This supercharger takes absolutely no power from your engine when you run it. That means it is non-parasitic. A turbo, while very efficient, creates backpressure and higher exhaust temperatures thus causing additional stress on most engines. A belt driven supercharger used engine power to turn it. The ESC uses a seperate battery pack. You charge the batteries while you are cruising, or plug into a regular battery charger when you get home.

Which is better: a manual toothbrush or an electric one?

ADHA - Frequently Asked Questions
Comparisons have been made between power-assisted (electric) toothbrushes and manual toothbrushes to look at the ability of each to remove plaque and prevent or reduce calculus (tartar) buildup, thus reducing gingivitis (gum disease). These research studies have shown both powered and manual toothbrushes to be equally effective when used correctly. So probably, in practical terms, which brush you use is not the critical factor, but how you use it. The ADHA Web site (http://www.adha.

How does it compare to a turbo? Which is better?

Supercharger FAQ
Weather you use a turbo or a supercharger on a PT, the same result is boost which increases horsepower and torque. Engines take in fresh air and mix it with fuel to make the combustion charge. When the piston goes down air and fuel enters the combustion chamber to be ignited and create the force to turn the crankshaft. Supercharger or turbo, they both work as an air compressor that forces an extremely dense air/fuel mixture into the combustion chamber, thus producing a more powerful explosion.

Why should I get an ESC? when there are already production turbo/supercharger kits for my car?

thomas knight : turbo upgrades + superchargers
We understand that the ESC-400? is not for everyone. For vehicles with a readily available, high quality turbo or supercharger kit the ESC may not be the most practical choice. But for cars with no other kits available, the instant boost and refill-free power makes our ESC-400? Electric Supercharger an excellent alternative to Nitrous or custom turbo/SC kits. A complete system is far easier to install and can be put together for less.

Is electric heating better than propane?

Aircraft preheat FAQ's
Propane fired forced air heaters produce high BTU's. Heat transfers quickly to the cylinders via the cooling fins, so if all you want is to warm your cylinders quickly this is the way to go. Warm cylinders are all you need if your only goal is to get the engine started. However, if your goal is to both get the engine started AND to avoid damage and wear to the engine from cold starting, then the entire engine and the oil needs to be uniformly heated.

Why use a turbocharger instead of a supercharger driven by the engine or an electric motor?

Turbocharger FAQ
First, lets look at how much power the turbo compressor is using. These figures came from a Cummins/Holset presentation at a TDR rally: Generally, 1/3 of the heat energy obtained from burning the fuel in the cylinder is transfered to the crankshaft in a diesel engine. Another 1/3 of heat energy is dumped into the cooling system, and the last 1/3 escapes through the engine exhaust.

Are electric toothbrushes better than manual ones?

Carter and Bond: essential male grooming, shaving, skin care...
The big advantage with electric toothbrushes is that they do most of the work for you. Some also have timers which encourage you to keep going for the full recommended 2 minutes (which can seem like an eternity with a regular toothbrush). The trick with electric brushes is not to brush as you would with a manual toothbrush - simply place the brush head against each individual tooth and the oscillations and pulsations will do the rest.

Do electric toothbrushes clean better?

British Dental Health Foundation
Tests have proved that certain electric toothbrushes are better at removing plaque. They are particularly useful for people with limited movement, such as disabled or elderly people, who often find that using a normal toothbrush does not allow them to clean thoroughly. Electric toothbrushes can also be better for children as they may be more inclined to brush regularly because of the novelty of using an electric toothbrush.

What is better - electric units or gas units?

FAQ's
There is more useable power in a gas line than in standard 200 amp household electric service. A true whole house electric system will require a significant percentage of that. Electric units are more efficient (96+%), so more hot water can be obtained with a comparable energy input. Electric has the ability to be located close to the point of use, and utilizing multiple units around the home making delivery time shorter.

Which turbo to go with?

DSM Support - Mitsubishi Eclipse - Eagle Talon - Plymouth La...
There is no one answer here. First you have to ask yourself, is this a drag car, road-race car, or daily driver? If your going to be using your car for road-race, you dont want the biggest turbo you can get. Bigger turbo usually means slower spool time. Road-race DSM's will tend to go with a medium size turbo for faster spool time. I see a lot of people with 16g turbos for your daily drive. I myself have a 16g on my daily driver.

What is a supercharger?

Supercharger FAQ - NewCelica.org Forum
A supercharger is a blower that basically boosts air into the motor and makes horsepower when accompanied by a custom tune. But unlike a turbo that utilizes exhaust gases to power itself, superchargers use the engine that it's strapped on to force air into the motors for more power. Thus, it takes a certain amount of HP to get a supercharger going. More details on how a supercharger works can be found here:

What is electric field?

Piezo Systems - Frequently Asked Questions
electric field is always associated with the presence of electric charges. It fills the space around the charge and is the mechanism of interaction between charges. A test particle with small known charge (Q) placed near a charge concentration will experience an accelerating force (F) due to the field. The value of the electric field (E) at that location is the ratio F/Q (a vector).
