Paul,

Can you direct me to the article or post on turbo compounding using
electric generator to drive a DC motor connected to the E-shaft method.
While the conversion losses may be higher then that of a direct
drive via speed reduction unit, it would appear that the electric
method would be fairly easy for the home builder to put together.

Thank you
Rick.


Here are a couple of papers from the DOE on the Caterpillar program.
