My idea was just the opposite of the belt driven turbo... two small centrifugally adjustable pulleys, with a belt/chain driven between them... the exhaust wheel spins up, and the pulleys gradually change gearing based on load and available torque generation.
I had originally thought about using a VNT from a Chrysler car for this, since they're capable of spooling at very low speeds, and holding full spool without over-boosting for a relatively long RPM range.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
