This SBIR Phase I project will develop a mechanical device that provides functionality as a turbocharger and that will recuperate exhaust energy to be transferred to the transmission when boosting is not needed. The innovation is a unique design that integrates turbocharging, turbocompounding, and supercharging into one compact device that uses an infinitely variable speed transmission.The broader/commercial impact of the project will be a reduction in fuel consumption in two ways. First is direct heat and energy recuperation from the exhaust stream. Second is to enable downsizing of internal combustion engines as a means to increase fuel economy. Turbocharging can be used for that purpose but adds driveability issues (turbo-lag). The proposed innovation could solve this problem.

SBIR第一阶段项目将开发一种机械装置，该装置具有涡轮增压器的功能，当不需要增压时，它将回收废气能量，并将其转移到变速器中。这款车的创新之处在于其独特的设计，它将涡轮增压、涡轮复合和增压集成到一个紧凑的装置中，并使用无级变速变速器。该项目更广泛的商业影响将从两个方面减少燃料消耗。首先是从废气流中直接回收热量和能量。二是使内燃机小型化，以提高燃油经济性。涡轮增压可以用于此目的，但会增加驾驶性能问题（涡轮滞后）。提出的创新可以解决这个问题。
