Title: New Innovations
Post by: Dalton Hammett on July 10, 2008, 07:39:15 PM

******

    Being now in the auto business I pay attention to the new innovations that the auto makers
    come out with each year.   I just saw a Saab advertisement and they have a great new system to
    "collect energy from the exhaust system to enhance engine performance" .   Man, what we could learn
    if we just paid attention to the auto industry, who would have ever guessed you could use muffler
    pressure!!!!!

It might be a power recovery turbine like the P&W R-3350.

But all turbo systems use exhaust gas energy to boost power.  What is new about this?
