Happy 100th birthday to Mr. Alfred Buchi's wonderful little invention...............The Turbo.
Thats right the turbo is 100 years old this February. Invented and patented back in 1905
as a way to recover some of the lost energy from an internal combustion engine.
Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.
Whos buying cake?
