ok so more air forced into an engine results in more horsepower right? Well what if more air is sucked out of an engine? When a cylinder makes its way up after an explosion it has to expell spent vapors, what if the vapors were sucked out and the piston came up quicker?
To get yo my point... if you welded a bilge air blower onto your exhaust and let the natural flow of air spin the fan, than the air flow would become more constant; thus, forcing out resonated vapors and giving a smoother ride. Oh and of corse more horsepower.
But would it work?? and if it does, would it harm the engine?

A free flowing exhaust will increase power, but a bilge blower would just get in the way, you'd need much more than that. You'd also have to re-tune the engine and probably change the valve timing. Not worth the effort, forced induction would gain you much more for your effort.

Your talking about a -fan scavenged two stroke engine-. Already been tried.
ps Won't work on a 4-stroke engine.

You are thinking backwards...you need to thinkaway from the combustion engine..plain and simple
