You might want to super cool some magnets to create a mass particle accelerator to turn the turbo...
Almost nothing from a two year school will transfer to an Engineering school. Maybe some electives. Plan on redoing all your math at a much higher level of challenge. And don't take it lightly. Engineering math is much harder then regular college math courses. And physics. And dynamics. And chemistry. And mechanics.
Have fun!
Thanks for the heads up, I have asked around about that. The school has a program that is designed to "transfer" to a university. But I found out that most of the stuff doesnt really transfer to NC State. So i opted to just get my associates degree make sure this is the field i really want to go into, and if i deccide to i can go for the bachelors, if not ill still have an associates. I am not worried about Math,physics, or dynamics. The classes i am taking now for the associates degree are wayy to easy i usually find myself 3 steps ahead of the class, not to sound arrogant or anything. I enjoy learning new stuff that is challenging. I am assuming you have an engineering degree? If so can i message you a few questions?
@Tank No one here is trying to make anything a pissing match....Just bringing up the subject and repeating the lock of the thread only instigates such actions "in my opinion". According to you just because something hasnt been done, as they have tryed for 50 years, then we all should just give up hope. If this was the case we might still be living in caves haha. I feel that projects such as this are what engineering is all about. Not sure if your familiar with the history of turbochargers. The first exhaust-driven supercharger was developed by Dr. Alfred J. Buchi of Switzerland between 1909 and 1912, long before Garrett products entered the turbocharger picture. Dr. Buchi was Chief Engineer of Sulzer Brothers Research Department and in 1915 proposed the first prototype of a turbocharged diesel engine, but his ideas gained little or no acceptance at that time. Look at them now Like I linked before, it has been done. Cost effective, no. Effiecent, no. Practical, no. Our battery technology increases everyday. Stuff like this helps -Beginning in 2004, the U.S. auto industry will begin its move from the 12-volt battery (14 volts at the generator/alternator) electrical systems toward a 42-volt standard, with 25 to 50 percent of new vehicles incorporating 42V electrical architectures by 2010, and all new cars by 2020. Sorry for the long post, and I do have to thank you. People saying that they cant do things only motivates them. Thanks everyone else for the advice. I am gonna be doing different project not sure what yet, something that i for the stang though Any ideas are welcome, was thinking of doing something with a shift knob that does something useful besides looking good hah.
