This is my old professor and later, career mentor Geoff Goddard who was Chief Designer at Cosworth until 1994. Here he is at the drawing board with Duckworth looking at the Turbo V6. They did a 2000hp turbocompound, but the FIA banned it.

Daimler-Benz DB-601 variable speed supercharger fluid drive coupling. The device is quite clever, and is a type of Föttinger coupling. You essentially change the gearing by varying how much oil is inside, but it is really a variable "slip" coupling, since it cannot raise the gear ratio, therefore it is combined with a step-up gear. It had three main technical shortcomings: 1) It introduces a lot of heat into the oil except for when it is full, and near 1:1 gearing. Essentially the more you "slip" it, the more heat goes into the oil. 2) The oil can get very hot inside, if your oil is of poor quality, it tends to sludge and block up the oil galleries inside. 3) For practical reasons, the slip you can achive is limited to about 35%, However, it has the following advantages: 1) Up to 10% power gain at take off, due to the almost total elimination of throttling losses you endure with a geared supercharger (which get less the more gears you have). 2) Quite high power density, you can transmit a lot of power in quite a small coupling. 3) Despite looking "tricky" it actually has only two moving parts. Finally, the disadvantages are moderated by the following aspects: 1) Once you are at high altitude, the coupling is operating at minimum slip, and hence generates no appreciable heat. Since the heat is principally generated during climb on an operational standpoint, when the engine is anyway starting from cold, it may not necessarily require that you fit a very large oil radiator to compensate. 2) With better oils this is managable (the Germans had to make use of quite substandard aero-engine oils for much of the war). 3) Supercharger gearing tends to be fairly narrow, and the 35% slip is actually all that is needed except for very extreme cirumstances. ---------- Rolls-Royce engineers thought it very clever, and didnt much like their existing supercharger gearbox, which was a French patent by the Farman company, which needed royalties to be paid. Geoffrey Wilde and Stanley Hooker visited the Sinclair Drives company to look at designing a similar system for the Merlin, but the Battle of Britain arrived in the middle of their discussions and all talk of major changes to the Merlin vanished instantly. This type of coupling found use in American aero engines where it was used as a gearbox on the turbocompound radial to vary the speed between the power recovery turbines and the crankshaft. Whilst it appears to be the same as a car automatic transmission (a torque converter), there are a number of detail design differences, as the torque converter has to operate over a higher range of speed "gearings", and so has more complex geometry, is larger, and typically has lower efficiencies as a compromise.

Hapa sasa volvo tayari kashajipata ataukiangalia muonekano wake ni upo tofauti kabisa na zilizopita. Shuka nayo✍️ Volvo FH12 ni mfano wa lori nzito ambayo ilianzishwa na Volvo Trucks mwaka wa 1993. Ni sehemu ya mfululizo wa Volvo FH, ambayo inajulikana kwa utendaji wake wa juu, faraja, na ufanisi. FH12 inahusu hasa lahaja ya injini ya lita 12, ambayo inapatikana katika ukadiriaji mbalimbali wa nguvu. FH12 imefanyiwa masasisho na maboresho kadhaa kwa miaka mingi, huku kizazi cha hivi punde kikitoa vipengele na teknolojia za hali ya juu ili kuimarisha usalama, ufanisi wa mafuta na faraja ya kiendeshi. Baadhi ya vipengele muhimu vya Volvo FH12 ni pamoja na Injini zenye nguvu: FH12 inapatikana na anuwai ya injini zenye nguvu, ikijumuisha injini ya D12C yenye matokeo ya kuanzia 420 hadi 540 farasi. Vipengele vya hali ya juu vya usalama: FH12 ina vipengele mbalimbali vya usalama, kama vile Programu ya Uthabiti wa Kielektroniki ya Volvo (ESP), Usaidizi wa Kuweka Njia (LKS), na Usaidizi wa Kubadilisha Njia (LCS), ambayo husaidia kuzuia ajali na kuhakikisha usalama wa dereva na watumiaji wengine wa barabara. Teknolojia zisizotumia mafuta: FH12 inajumuisha teknolojia mbalimbali za kuokoa mafuta, kama vile kifurushi cha I-Save, ambacho kinajumuisha vipengele kama vile teknolojia ya turbocompound, ekseli za nyuma zilizoboreshwa na suluhu za programu ili kupunguza matumizi ya mafuta na kuboresha kando. Teksi ya kustarehesha na pana: FH12 inatoa teksi ya starehe na pana, yenye chaguzi kama vile teksi za Globetrotter XL na Globetrotter XXL zinazotoa nafasi ya kutosha kwa dereva na abiria wowote. Mifumo ya hali ya juu ya usaidizi wa madereva: FH12 ina mifumo ya hali ya juu ya usaidizi wa madereva, kama vile Uendeshaji wa Volvo Dynamic, ambayo humsaidia dereva na kupunguza mkazo wa kuendesha gari kwa umbali mrefu. Kwa ujumla, Volvo FH12 ni lori la mizigo mizito linalotegemewa na linalofaa sana kwa kazi za usafiri wa masafa marefu na wa kikanda, na pia kutumika katika ujenzi, misitu, na tasnia zingine.

One of the most efficient engines ever built, even up to today. Harvesting wasted energy with a recovery turbine was a brilliant idea. I think there are a few truck lorries using turbocompound engines now. autospeed.com/cms/a_112994/a…

Though I think there was some thoughts (in a Kitplanes magazine article, iirc) that some kind of turbocompound solution might serve for "low performance" jets for the homebuilt/experimental sector, and early jet fighter replicas.
