Electric motor assisted super- or turbocharger? by
Max Kallio
2-stroke diesels need compressed air for starting the engine, so the
turbo (exhaust driven centrifugal supercharger) is out of a guestion

How about supplementing a centrifugal turbocharger with a high speed
electric motor to create boost needed...

Forget Turbodyne by
Max Kallio
It appears that Turbodyne was a stock market hoax to attract
investors. So, it´s a goner, but the idea on an electronically
assisted turbocharger definetely is not.

Presidential Helicopter by
Helowriter
Politics and payback aside, is anyone else upset by the fact that the
Navy chose a less-safe, lower-performance helicopter to carry the
President of the United States?
For starters, the S-92 and EH101 were designed a generation apart as
far as flaw-tolerant design and birdstrike and turbine...

I'd been kicking around the idea of going in halves with a co-worker
