exhuast energy recovery
I found this: "Unlike a conventional turbocharger the turbine was coupled to the engine's accessory driveshaft and acted as a power recovery device. It was thought that using the turbine would lower fuel consumption allowing the engine to be used in larger transport aircraft. This was confirmed during testing"
Maybe a turbine from a turbocharger linked to the fan belt would recover waist energy from the exhaust, and thus reduce fuel consumption?
