turbózó

A turbózó is a Hungarian term that can refer to a turbocharger, a device used to increase the power and efficiency of an internal combustion engine. It operates by using exhaust gases to spin a turbine, which in turn drives a compressor. This compressor forces more air into the engine's cylinders, allowing for more fuel to be burned and thus generating more power. The term can also informally describe the act of installing or using a turbocharger, as in "turbózó a motort" which means "turbocharging the engine". While primarily associated with automotive applications, turbochargers are also found in other engine types. The concept of forced induction, which a turbocharger embodies, has been a significant development in engine technology, contributing to improved performance and fuel economy in many vehicles. The word itself is a derivative of the English "turbo," highlighting the international nature of this engineering innovation.
