Turbo Lag & superchargers..

[ARTHUR OKUN]

i like the two speed idea how about some sort of an electricaly 
controled variable ratio transmission like they use in snowmobiles or
some sort of viscose coupling ie  fluid coupling "like a torque 
converter i once heard of an electronicaly controled "magnetic"
transmission that might work very well in this application
you see i am shying away from electric drive "diesel locomotives are
electric drive how come no one calls them stupid or inefficient"
