ive been thinking more crackpot ideas again.

essentially somewhat passive systems of intake air filtration and conditioning to increase overal oxygen content.

there seems to be a few set reliable ways to increase engine power

1. supercharging
2. turbocharging
3. nos
4. regular tuning (better parts)
5. odd ball electric supercharging. essentially EV hybrid type things.

however, i havnt found really anything on conditioning/filtering intake air.

looking at some numbers with google....

oxygen content can increase from 50% humidity = 20.4% oxygen to 0% humidity=20.9% oxygen.
air density can increase 0.34% for every degree C dropped
scrubbing out some nitrogen which is 74% of regular air, is a big one if achievable

i get that an engine sucks a lot of air so acheiving any of the above is a tall order.....

but does anyone know of similar systems being used or tested on engines?

other than bodging some zeolite into a rotating filter and relocating my air-con evap radiator to my intake and finding a way to get the condensate not going into my engine......im at a loss.
