Hybrid turbo transmission
First Claim
1. A hybrid turbo transmission comprising:
- a power source providing power connected through a first axis of rotation to at least a first compressor;
said at least a first compressor outputs power by means of compressed air or gas to drive a turbine or multi-stage turbines;
said turbine or multi-stage turbines are connected through a second axis of rotation to a work unit;
wherein said power source is a radial configured internal combustion engine configured with an air cooling system whereby;
said at least a first compressor is located in front of said radial configured internal combustion engine;
a second compressor is located behind said radial configured internal combustion engine;
said at least a first compressor operates from ram air entering into a front of said at least a first compressor where at least a portion of said compressed ram air will enter into said radial configured internal combustion engine and at least a portion of said compressed ram air will pass though said air cooling system;
warmed air that exits said air cooling system is then mixed with exhaust gas from said radial configured internal combustion engine where it is passed into said second compressor, andafter the mixed exhaust and said warmed air exits said second compressor it is transferred back for use in said at least a first compressor.

Abstract
A hybrid turbo transmission for reduced energy consumption is disclosed. A hybrid turbo transmission configured as a multi-purpose unit (MPU). The MPU recovers energy from the cooling system, exhaust system, ram pressure and the breaking system. The MPU unit is an automatic transmission, supercharger, air compressor for other uses, and starter for the engine using a multi-purpose unit that will eliminate the need for a torque converter or clutch, flywheel, catalytic converter, starter and supercharger. The MPU reduces pollution to near zero and reduces the aerodynamic drag coefficient on the vehicle. The MPU uses two or more in-line compressors to transfer power from the power source, such as an internal combustion engine (ICE) to a turbine or multi-stage turbine that acts as an automatic transmission. The hybrid turbo transmission system uses plug-in power as a second source of power.
