All this is moving further and further away from Bill Jepson's KIS.

    Paul,
     From your comment you obviously "got" my idea. The idea here is a
    proof of concept ULTRA SIMPLE idea using NO Turbocharger, only
    an axial flow turbine. Accepting that the system would only be optomized
    at one RPM and altitude and being happy if it didn't mess up the rest.
    Just concidering the turbine as an exhaust restriction the rest of
    the time.
    On another front here, why would it be advantagous to be in line with
    your turbocharger with your power turbine? They are independent shafts.
    A very short connector from the TC's outflow on a turbocharged machine
    is desireable, but otherwise who cares? The idea here is almost
    stooopidly
    simple. The paddlewheel in the millrace type of thing. ANY power
    recovered
    is a bonus and you can get by with a much simpler muffler. Since we
    would
    normally run the engine up to at least cruise RPM static before
    takeoff you
    would always be recovering some of the exhaust hp. Think of it as a
    "magic
    muffler." Paul you found a great cutaway of an axial flow turbine, which
    I lost.
    Do you still have it? This could be done on a normally aspirated engine,
    in fact
    it would be easier that way.

    Is this it?

No Paul,
Though the drawing you have there is helpful you had an actual physical
example. A cut away in the metal so to speak. It may have been combinned
with the photos of the Senica (sic) turbo compound diesel.
Bill



Senica does not ring a bell. I need some key words. I have upwards of 100,000
files. You mean Scania?
