I just stumbled upon this concept on the interwebs after doing a random search on google images.
Frankly I had no idea it was possible to hook the exhaust up from a piston engine and use it to help drive the crankshaft. I always thought the gas volume exiting the cylinders to be much too small to be able to extract any kind of useful kinetic energy from the process (beyond that of driving a turbocharger I mean).
Anyway, the crank cool running this website seems to have MUCH enthusiasm for the concept!
So is it feasible, or is the guy just running a debate with voices in his own head? I didn't do much research before posting here. I know there's some smart people at this place so I took the easy way out heh.
Peace.
