Dear Paul & Group,
Here's a page with download links to most essential papers on this
subject:
http://www.scanlab.fi/docs/docs_index.htm
These are PDF files extracted from NASA server. All but the first one
are on original non-processed state, ie. text pages scanned as images. I
might have time later to convert them to text PDF's.
Cheers,
Petri

Thanks Petri. That was a lot of work.
The Appendix C on this one is the real meat of the turbo compound rotary.

Unfortunately NASA did not fund the hardware to test these conclusions.
Everyday a Mazda rotary flies somewhere in the world proving once again
that
NASA made a huge mistake in not pursuing this further.

Paul,
I knew the guy who was running the program at Glenn Research center. They
had a 13B in a Cessna mixmaster already to go when his boss told him to stop
the program. Boy was he mad.

I'll bet. Instead they shoot off half a billion dollars into space every time they
launch the space shuttle. One tenth of that money could reduce the world
wide gasoline consumption by 20% by applying turbo compounding to the worlds
light aircraft and gasoline piston engines.
