  Forced induction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forced induction is a term used to describe internal combustion engines that are not naturally aspirated.
The forced induction approach has the advantage that the intake pressure may be regulated according to the engine speed, thus providing power from extra capacity at high speed, but without wasting fuel at lower speeds.
Two of the commonly used forced induction technologies are superchargers and turbochargers.

 Induction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Induction (play) is an opening scene in a play, notably used in early English plays
Induction programme, the process used within many businesses to welcome new employees to the company and prepare them for their new role.
With combustion engines, forced induction is the use of a gas compressor added to the air intake.

 The Basics Of Forced Induction
Forced induction (known as supercharging) on the other hand, uses a mechanical means to increase the pressure of the intake air charge, commonly referred to as boost.
The diameter of the scroll increases as it moves farther away from the center of the supercharger, which slows the flow of the air while increasing the pressure of the moving air.
The centrifugal supercharger compresses the air primarily at the point that the air leaves the impeller and is forced into the scroll; and from there through a venturi-shaped bore.

 FORCED INDUCTION - Street Racers Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-30)
The concept of forced induction is essentially a method wherein we literally compress the air before we bring it into the process of combustion.
Now imagine if you were able to force more air into their lungs then they would otherwise be able to suck in on their own.
This is where the concept of forced induction was derived.

 Clint's Forced Induction Dyno Corrector   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-30)
The Forced Induction Dyno Horsepower Corrector determines the relative horsepower available at any temperature, barometric pressure, dew point, and altitude.
For those of us using forced induction, this correction factor will result in an overly optimistic corrected number for those using it at altitude and becomes increasingly more inaccurate as the higher boost levels are run at that altitude.
Now this doesnt take into account the SAE 1.18 multiplication and.18 subtraction factors which are included in their formula, but those are only in the SAE formula as a result of emperical data/testing and have no effect on this illustration and only result in an even higher correction factor for both engine types.

 Musclecarclub.com - Library - Tech - Forced Induction
"Forced Induction" is the process of using a mechanical system to "force" more air into an engine.
The main advantage of a Roots Supercharger is that there is immediate and proportional response to the throttle, because the blower is always spinning and its pumping ability increases proportionately and linearly with engine speed.
A turbocharger uses a turbine that is driven by the hot, expanding exhaust system stream to power a centrifugal compressor which forces air into the engine.

 Sums of Powers of Integers, using Forced Induction
Normally, the method of induction is used to logically prove that a given mathematical or symbolic relation is true, after the relation has already been found by other methods.
Now, the extreme power of the Method of Forced Induction, in regard to the sums of powers of integers, lies in the fact that it can be used very generally to generate the matrix-triangulized equations for any positive integer power.
It is the code used to generate the sums of powers of integers based on the results from the method of forced induction.

The term forced induction refers to forcing air into the engine by using a device outside of the engine.
Air is forced into the engine by passages that lead from the outside of the engine compartment (usually on the front of the vehicle) to the engine's intake system.
The amount of air the supercharger forces into the engine (usually refered to as "boost") is measured in "psi" (pounds per square inch).

 Forced Air Induction?
The benefits of forced-air induction are increased engine power by forcing the air to the airbox.
The air is then forced down into the bottom of the belly pan, which pressurizes the hood with clean air.
However, during a strong crosswind, the forced air system would have little to no effect as the air would be drawn across the vents as well as into the vents.

 Forced Induction Discussion Thread
Generally, forced induction is just a propeller of some sort blowing air towards the carb or throttle body of a vehicle.
A snail-snaped "blower" is mounted downstream of the exhaust ports, on the manifold.
All forced induction is a fan of some sort pushing air towards the throttle body.

 Nitrous Has Something To Do With Forced Induction? - RacingSouthwest
Nitrous forces more Oxygen, which is the main combustible component in a gasoline engine, into the cylinders than would be available at atmospheric conditions.
So anything that can be done to force more air into the cylinders and help their efficency, to me, is forced induction.
It is basically taking an ineffeicent machine, and "forcing" it to be more efficient by "forcing" more through it into the cylinders than it was designed to hold.

 Forced Induction (FAQS) - SVTPerformance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-30)
Both superchargers and turbochargers are forced induction systems and thus have the same objective - to compress air and force more air molecules into the engine's combustion chambers than would normally be allowed at atmospheric pressure here on Earth (14.7 psi at sea level).
The benefit of forcing more air molecules into the combustion chambers is that it allows your engine to burn more fuel per power stroke.
While the supercharger is generally considered to be a better method of forced induction for most street and race vehicles, the turbo will always have its place in a more specialized market.

With Powercard, extra fuel is added only when under boost.
Since Powercard is installed between the ECU and Fuel Injectors, when cruising your Miata reacts and drives just as Mazda intended, but stand on the throttle and in an instant a torrent of boost is unleashed as the supercharger force feeds the engine with air while Powercard adds fuel.
The result is a 42% increase in horsepower and a 40% increase in torque with perfect drive-ability.
