Most have used electric oil pumps for lubrication, the efficiency
could most likely be made better with staging multiple turbines. I'm
afraid still that the shaft power has to come off a freewheeling
turbine, where the end part of a turbo clearly could be used.

In fact, the nt6 experience in my opinion has shown that if we put a
gasifier together with a small size turbo, one could make a
self-starting gasifier? Or not? Hrm, electricity would still be
needed for the electric oil pump... :(
