[Vwdiesel] New engine

[James Hansen]

Well that's pretty cool Justin.  I've seen this type of thing built from
turbochargers, really impressive sound when they spool up, but never heard
or thought of a roots blower based design. Wow.  I can't begin to imagine
the noise of three roots blowers in full song...

I know a guy in Washington that has already done this.  He built several
of these while in engineering school.  The company he works for used a
modified design version of this as  the starter for the F-16.  My friend
used roots blowers.  He even built one that had one blower for the
compressor section and two for the turbine section.  He used chains to
connect the sections together and could vary the ratios that way.
