Concept power units from 2030

Why not turbo compounding? Lose the complexity and safety issues of the high voltage/current of the current hybrid systems while still retaining a lot of the energy recovery using an exhaust recovery turbine. It wouldn’t even weigh that much or take up much space.

A V10 with a recovery turbine feeding power back to the crankshaft sounds like a fine idea

How about something in this vein?

I posted that exact video in the other similar thread to this one.

well they could have an N/A V10 with an MGU-H
something for everyone

What would be the point (from a technical point of view) of having a V10 with an MGU-H/turbo?

Wouldn't that just be inefficient, with no ability to store energy. So no gains by using an electric boost at the right time. And no fixing of the turbo lag.

recovery of energy from the exhaust (without affecting crankshaft power)
though crankshaft power can also be traded for electrical power - and vice versa

recovery via a mechanical route ie 'turbo-compounding' is less versatile and increases PU inertia and gearshift time loss

The point of contention is the V10, if you have turbocharging and H. Seems completely counter intuitive.

I don't 'have turbocharging' ..... that's the point
