Paul,
Agreed. I finally found a way to get the Rhino file attached to you.
Sorry it only took a week:)
I have just shown the outside of the spin muffler. The inside has two
perforated baffles that allow sound waves to interact but keep the gas
spiraling towards the center outlet. Gas takes the path of least
resistance of course. Recently I`ve come to the conclusion that instead
of injecting cool air through the middle pipe, that it is wiser to block
off the inlet, have many holes drilled (at an angle) in the center pipe
within the chamber, and put a valve downstream of the muffler before it
joins with the turbine exhaust pipe. Standard off the shelf valves can
be used or a cable activated device of your chosing.
The concept is to smoothly introduce the exhaust gas from the engine with
as little restriction as possible. Ditto on by passing through the
central pipe. The outer casing can be standard Inconel pipe of about 4
inches. The two inner baffles hang on the inner pipe. The component
sizes would be determined depending on whether the inner pipe performed
an additional measure to support a built in turbine wastegate, or a
became a complete bypass.

Nothing was attached Doug? You and Michiwaw need to have a child so
he or she can be put in charge of computers :) I don't think Yutaro is
up to it.

Paul,
Getting senile probably. Yesterday I arrived home with three hand carry
shopping baskets from the store without being conscious of actually
taking them. The police are narrowing in on theri search at this moment
most likely:) No chance on our own kids this lifetime. My wife feels
she has two kids at home and fifty at school to take care of, and that
is enough. My adopted Tibetan daughter has a son so I guess that
already make us grandparents:)
Yes on earthquakes here, although supposely this valley is the most
stable in all of Japan. That is not saying much however as the country
sits on the junction of four major plates, has 25% of the world`s
earthquakes, but only 0.2% of the land mass. Combined with floods,
tyhoons, and ice storms it is no doubt the country developed both an
ability to build quickly, engineer well and just in case, appease the
nature spirits. It is never boring. Michiwa believes there will not be
an terrorist attack from Al Quaida because they feel Japan has enough
yearly natural disasters.
On the spin muffler. Notice the central pipe is offset to create a
scroll effect.
The last jpeg shows a turbo mounted bass ackwards to accept the traction
drive.
