Last night I went to bed thinking about this issue from another point of view. What's required for a turboexpander to work in a situation like this is predominantly it's size. I had initially investigated the use of small turbochargers for motorcycles having a displacement of 500cc. But I quickly realized the amount of flow through them would simply be too great for any system of this size. So then I thought about my old hobby, radio controlled aircraft. It dawned on me that if turbochargers existed for them, they would be properly suited for this project. So now I submit to all of you the following:
1.) RC turbo charger
2.)
3.) How to Make Turbochargers for Nitro Powered RC Cars
Now that we've seen what one would look like, those of you who have the means (metal working materials) should now focus on how to produce one, instead of the constant rants about why this is impossible or implausible. Simply put, start being productive contributors to a working solution, instead of only wanting to detract from one.
