Different Kind of Hybrid Turbo!!!!

DynaCharger
"Turbodyne Technologies Inc. is a leading engineering company in the design and development of charging technology to enhance the performance of internal combustion engines."


The Turbodyne Dynacharger is an electric assist device that can be adapted to specific turbochargers. The Dynacharger system comprises an electronically controlled ultra high-speed brushless electric motor that's mounted between the turbine and the compressor of a conventional turbocharger, together with an electronic power and speed control system.

Electrically, the operation of the Dynacharger alternates between Motor Mode and Generator Mode. In Motor Mode, the Dynacharger provides the desired boost pressure for low speed engine acceleration. In Generator Mode, the Dynacharger utilizes the otherwise wasted surplus exhaust gas energy by using the turbine to drive the electric rotor. At full engine power, the generator can be used to slow the turbine, and in many cases alleviates the need for a wastegate.

The most obvious benefits are improved transient response, boost pressure available at low rpm and low load and greater turbo sizing flexibility - you can rely on the Dynacharger for low-end boost and you can opt for a huge compressor for strong top-end performance.

looks like somethin someone would try and pawn off on ebay

[GPSMatt]

wow that is kinda gay so seems like it would be way more efficient to just do it the standard issue way of turbo charging using hte exhaust gas's that prolly puts a lot of draw on the alternator as well

[mhuppertz]

Dyson's not gay, he's English!
Just kidding. I put that "Half-Bakery" thing up there because that site cracks me up!

the dyson thing is funny i was talking the electric turbo

The one that I think does have potential is the hybrid electric turbo. Electrically spooling your turbo at idle and having boost at the ready would not only be really fun, but also increase mileage quite a bit and nearly eliminate smoke.

use nitrous it will spool the turbo clear up smoke and its probably a hell of alot cheaper

Point taken!

[DTanklage]

not at 2.50 per pound

[GPSMatt]

wonder what that unit costs.

[DTanklage]

i dont know, but at 2.50/pound, and the capiblility to use one pound in a few seconds, it is still cheaper in the long run

[ford69557ci]

until the warranty runs out and the brushless motor or controller burns up then u have to buy another one. just tune you afc right and chose the right size turbo.

[DTanklage]

"just tune your afc right"

is that the same as removing the lever?

hehe

[ford69557ci]

well for me it is but fore the people that are going the gayle banks way they dont want the smoke
