How turbos work

Found this little gem i thought it was very informative and that i could share it here with u guys

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Xp-EVOPBhIo&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Xp-EVOPBhIo&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

 

I like stuff like that. Although it reminds me of grammer school science class films it was still very informative.

 

Speaking of turbos how do u guys feel about this electric one that is supposedly makes 20lb of boost? http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/0406tur_knight_turbo_electric_supercharger/index.html

i dont know from personal experience but ive heard electric turbos are a waste of money. any extra electricity that is taken from the battery will put extra load on the alternator and steal more horsepower back from the engine
