I like the way you think Ernest! I heard several people talking about this at last years Rotary Round-Up at Tracy's. It might have a chance to work and would not take more than a few horsepower to operate. Do you have any ideas on how to get the air into the blower impellers? The space between the motor and the PSRU is divided almost in half by the starter gear plate and each side is not very wide. Hope you continue to work on this.
I don't think it can be make to work with Tracy's unit. The adapter plate isn't big enough, and there isn't enough room between the plate and the flywheel. My adapter plate will be mounted with 6" standoffs, and my gearbox has space between the bolt holes that has been machined for air passages. I expect the blower to eat about 3 to 5 HP, judging from the published figures of the appropriate blowers.

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
