I am slowly coming to the conclusions that designing
the traction box for 100,000 RPM taking power off
the planet carrier is harder than it looks. At the same time
I am researching radial inflow turbines the kind that
are used in turbo chargers.  Here is an interesting
web site on CFD for radial inflow turbines.

I am hoping we don't have to run the turbine at 100,000 RPM
to get max power. I suspect more like 85,000 RPM yields max
power. Most compressor charts for turbo chargers would indicate
that is the case as that is where the efficiency island is.
