Wonder if it's possible to build a clutched arrangement hybrid turbo/centrifugal SC... Let the crank get it moving and then let exhaust take over powering it after the initial start. Probably get all the exhaust restriction of a turbo with all the inefficiency of an SC

Or, howabout a centrifugal supercharger paired to a CVT to generate optimal boost at all engine speed with minimal drag on the rotating assembly?

YUP, ITS A BRILLIANT IDEA

McCullough (Paxton) had a variable speed supercharger in the '50's:

Is that a ruined Chevelle, Torino, or what? Window kinda looks Torino-ish. Still bad, as in useless, undriveable sculpture.

Aussie Falcon, I think.

The supercharged MR2 has a clutch on it's pulley. It even has a little green light on the dash that tells you when it's "Super Charger"!

The Mercedes clutched M62 is a popular choice among MX6/Probe owners.

This is not one of those i don't think.

A coupla high speed rocks at the prop and I'd be looking for a bus.

Looks like there's a cover on the prop? Providing turn signals and hopefully some degree of protection?

jakeb proves there's room for a turbo M42 in a 2002. I'm still scared.

WOW thats a tiny turbo...its like a turbo for a baby!

Is that a motorcycle sticking out of the tail of the plane?

Yes. I assumed the prop was just for show since it was not a flyable aircraft due to the MC ass screwing up the CG. However, I started to think it could be fairly easy to remove and stow for flight.

I can't see any of your pics and can't follow links to them wither
