Abstract: Disclosed is an embodiment of a turbocharger roller support system that utilizes roller-shaft interfaces that are slanted to locate a turbocharger shaft with a turbine and compressor. Slanted contact surfaces on the turbocharger shaft are slanted inwardly so that the turbo shaft remains centered in the roller support system. The rollers entirely locate the turbocharger shaft, so that no bearings are necessary directly on the turbocharger shaft. The rollers spin at a slower speed than the turbocharger shaft, so can utilize lower speed bearings.

Abstract: Disclosed is a driven turbocharger for an engine with dual stage compressors. In addition to the turbine and compressor on the main turbo shaft of the driven turbocharger, an additional compressor is coupled to a transfer gear of the driven turbocharger to provide two-stage compression for the engine. This enables higher boost pressures, which can help boost engine efficiency. The driven turbocharger retains the single turbine, so that no additional heat sinks are added to the exhaust to keep exhaust temperatures high for aftertreatment functionality.

Abstract: Disclosed is an air pump for a fuel cell that utilizes a speed-reduction traction drive so that a low speed electric motor can be used to drive a high-speed rotodynamic compressor. The rotodynamic compressor is an efficient air pump, but operates at high speeds that would require a specialized high-speed electric motor. The speed-reduction traction drive couples to the compressor and provides a low-speed output that is connected to a lower speed electric motor.
