L'idée est simple; plutôt que de laisser au piston le soin d'aspirer le mélange gazeux dont il a besoin, on compresse puis on gave la chambre de combustion en introduisant dans la tubulure un mélange déjà comprimé. Ainsi, l'inertie de la masse gazeuse est-elle contrée. On se sert de l'énergie des gaz d'échappement pour faire tourner une turbine qui entraîne un axe à très grande vitesse. 1, record 4, French, - turbocompresseur
