I will still be amazed if Richard ever pulls this off...
i work with large gas turbines that cost $30million and despite them having compressor blowoffs, variable inlet blades, and a host of other protection devices - they pretty much will self destruct with stalls and surges as soon as speed or air flow change unexpectedly

I'd love to see all the issues get worked out but it's basically back at square one (or maybe 2...) and this thread was started in May 2004. That's almost 4 years to get back to the start. I hope it progresses lightyears faster than it did to this point.

all you guys saying it won't work, AFSC's were a REAL product in the 50's and 60's go google the latham supercharger. Most of the ones that still exist still work. they've never blown themselves up.

I never said it wouldn't work, nor did my friend. She was curious to see how efficient the sc could be made given cost parameters, and at what ratio the sc delivers cfm, etc...

No, with you it would take a little more as I give latitude to Canuks. Growing up in the great socialist state has to be difficult

AOA=title for one of MM's avitars and stands for "*** to ***"
"Turbo"= short for Turbosupercharger. Turbosupercharger is the correct term.
Now we can stop arguing. If you want to learn, do what the man said read the first 5 or 6 pages of this thread.
