If you pipe your exhaust into the SC compressor, will the shaft turn an alternator direct coupled to it.
The idea is to extract a bit of energy from the exhaust gas converting it to electricity that can be used for driving accessories.
Thermodynamically, it would look like a pressure drop across the compressor would lower the final exhaust temperature.
the question being would it recover more energy than the added load and friction placed on the engine?
don't know maybe it would be better to stroke the engine and sleave the bores to get more expansion the first time around in the engine.
