And what is a turbine?

It is a form of windmill or something which transforms differences in air pressure (aka wind) into rotational mechanical energy.

Some of the 50 cent words in this threat like adiabatic are still confusing my feeble mind, but, I think I get the gist of it.

The bottom like is, rather than throwing away all that pumping loss energy, you want to add it back to the crankshaft.

Am I on the right track here or not?
