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?

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

Yes Paul that is what I meant. That isn't the picture I was hoping for
though.
I'll see if I can find it and post it to you. Thanks for the efforts.
Bill
