Fig. 10: Interior view of the variable intake manifold
Each cylinder has its own intake pipe (1) which is connected to
the manifold volume (6) via a rotor (3).
The rotors are supported by one shaft (4) per cylinder bank.
The second shaft, from which the rotor for the opposite cylinder
bank is adjusted, is turned by spur gears (5) in the opposite
direction from the driven shaft.
The intake air flows via the manifold volume through the
funnel (2) and on to the cylinders.
The intake path length is set as the rotor turns.
