When I posted this I was somewhat skeptical like Brain hence the turbonator comment. Hell I could reorganize the geometric shapes and patent a dash mounted fan. Nonetheless i found the regenerative nature (alternator function) of the turbo interesting.

Whatever happened to Garrett's patent on the same thing?
What I see that's different is the presence of the clutches.
Look at high load condition. The motor acts as an alternator to charge the battery and prevent over-speed. Now what happens when said German Bahn Burner has been running flat out for a while, the battery is fully charged, and the car has minimal electric load? How do you prevent over-speed now, without a wastegate?
