Inertia Ramcharging
At high engine speed charge flowing through the intake system
moves at a high velocity and its momentum keeps it moving
toward the cylinder and can continue to compress the charge into
the cylinder at the end of intake stroke even after the piston has
started upward on the compression stroke (if IV is open).

Because this unit does not have to compress the gas it absorbs no more than
between 1 and 2% of the power output
of the engine. Pressure ratios of up to
3:1 are said to be attainable. It is principally designed for CI engines.
During each revolution of the drum, one end of each cell in turn passes
the end of the exhaust passage 4 . This allows the exhaust gas, at the
pressure in that passage, to flow along the cell, compressing the air
that it already contains against the closed far end. Further rotation
opens a port at the latter end, which allows the air thus compressed to
flow into the inlet passage 5 , which is then closed again when the cell
passes it. Closure of the port reflects a pressure pulse back to the other
end, which is now open to the exhaust downpipe through 7 .
Consequently, the exhaust gas is discharged to atmosphere, at the same
time generating a suction wave which travels along the cell. When this
reaches the opposite end, the port to the inlet pipe 6 is open, so a
fresh charge of air is drawn into the cell, and the cycle begins again.
