watching a turbo melt or lose a turbine blade doesn't get me real excited either.........trying to find the best middle of the road.

On the other hand, an engine can still breath through a stopped turbine wheel. But not through a stopped roots blower. The Roots consumes usable energy from the engine. The turbine recovers wasted energy.

The turbine is lighter than the Roots. The roots is more fun in a street car because it is "ON" all of the time.

 

Little to no spool up time. The Roots takes up a lot of space. The number of aircraft using a Roots type

supercharger is..................

 

However it is called Experimental, and it would probably work just great.
