    the original E-Tesla Turbine project from the RX7forums site.

    @everyone One of the things that i had suggested to do with a tesla turbine was attach it to the exhaust to spin an alternator to help charge the batteries. Don't know how feasible it could be but i was trying to think outside of the proverbial box.

    it is a good read for sure. frank germano is still online but he doesnt have the resources to do anything with what he was doing. he's gotta be in his 60s now as well. i think he was ahead of his time and right at a point where the economy was going to crap after the dot com bubble burst and...

    Compounding Godzilla

    very keen to see how your project works out Alex @SkylineUSA . If you ever need parts just give me a shout! and i do agree with @AlexLTDLX that it might be better to use the Echarger to spool up a big turbo. i actually thought of getting an electric valve/door done to switch from e-charger to...
