But it does depend on engine power. It's power that's otherwise wasted out the tailpipe, but it's power nonetheless. It's the same kind of energy that powers a turbine engine. It was genius to realize the energy wasted out the exhaust system could be used to power a compressor.
Which is the very definition of a non-passive device.
In some Heavy trucks From Volvo and Scania, they have a system named "turbo compound".
these trucks have "two turbines" in the exhaust .... The first is connected to the compressor (regular turbo) ... after that, there is a second one, that is connected to some reduction gears and sends power directly to the crackshaft ..... A way to use the thermal energy in the exhaust gas until its limit!!!
One other consideration I like to do is that the turbo is nothing more than a thermal machine that uses another thermal machine (the engine) as its combustion chamber to provide power, hehehe
