Anyone who's driven a sports car, whether in video games or real life, has probably heard of a turbocharger, the snail-shaped assembly that uses exhaust gas to increase the air intake pressure of an engine to boost horsepower and performance. In arcade games like Cruis'n World, double-tapping the accelerator activates the turbocharger and makes the car pop a wheelie. In the real world, though, turbochargers, especially when attached to large diesel engines like those that power workboats and locomotives, play an essential role in boosting energy output and lowering emissions. As a result, end users are able to move cargoes more efficiently, while also meeting strict emissions standards. |
