2. Cold air intake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_air_intake

   Some strategies used in designing aftermarket cold air intakes are: Reworking parts of the intake that create turbulence to reduce air resistance. [2] Providing a more direct route to the air intake by eliminating muffling devices. Shortening the length of the intake. Placing the intake duct to use the ram-air effect to give positive pressure ...

3. K&N Engineering - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K&N_Engineering

   K&N Engineering, Inc. (also known simply as K&N) is a manufacturer of air filters, cold air intake systems, oil filters, performance parts, and other related products. [1] K&N manufactures over 12,000 parts for various makes and models of cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, ATVs, industrial applications and more.

4. Shaker scoop - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaker_scoop

   1968 AMX with aftermarket supercharger and blower scoop. Hot rod and drag race enthusiasts have modified automotive engines to increase power via supercharger forced induction since the 1920s; in some cases, a blower scoop is added to the top of the supercharger as an aid to air intake.

5. Components of jet engines - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Components_of_jet_engines

   The air intake (inlet U.S. [6]) is an aerodynamic duct extending from an entry lip to the engine fan/compressor. For supersonic intakes with variable geometry it is called an intake system, referring to the need for shock-wave and internal duct flow management using variable position surfaces (ramps or cones) and bypass doors. [7]

6. Ram-air intake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram-air_intake

   Ram-air intake on a Kawasaki ZX-12R. A ram-air intake is any intake design which uses the dynamic air pressure created by vehicle motion, or ram pressure, to increase the static air pressure inside of the intake manifold on an internal combustion engine, thus allowing a greater massflow through the engine and hence increasing engine power.

7. Intake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intake

   Aircraft using piston engines use intake systems similar to automobiles. With the development of jet engines and the subsequent ability of aircraft to travel at supersonic speeds, it was necessary to design inlets to provide the flow required by the engine over a wide operating envelope and to provide air with a high-pressure recovery and low distortion.

9. Hood scoop - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hood_scoop

   At higher road speeds, a properly designed hood scoop known as ram-air intake can increase the speed and pressure with which air enters the engine's intake, creating a resonance supercharging effect. Such effects are typically only felt at very high speeds, making ram air primarily useful for racing, not street performance.
