Hi Paul and fellow rotary
enthusiasts!
I recently came across this: the
SuperTurbo. In a nutshell, it combines a centrifugal
supercharger with a turbine via a continuous variable
transmission that allows turbo compounding when under a high
load. Here's their website: superturbo.net
Here are also a couple of videos
from their YouTube channel:
What do you think of this? Yea or
nay?

Been around for years. So far not much luck selling it.
Mercedes owns Detroit diesel and they have a turbo compound
better integrated with the engine.
Here are some pictures of the DD15.
Volvo, Caterpillar and Scania has also had a turbo compound
diesels.
These diesel versions are marginally cost effective because the
diesel has lower fuel burn to begin with.
Higher first cost and higher maintenance cost.
It works best at high altitude on an aircraft engine.

That's the exactly the same turbo you used on your turbo compound
system in the three rotor engine you have for sale on eBay.
I know yours is for testing purposes, but in a real world
application, whether it's for aircraft or automotive use, the
turbo compound unit you created should be (in my opinion) as
compact as possible.
Jacobo Guimer
I agree. This is the simplest system but no turbo charger.
