For you Guru's, please, help me through this.
It has been traditional to use a 71 roots or screw design. However, thoughts would be appreciated regarding a 16:71 or there abouts case, bulk headed half way back and two independant rotor systems. The front rotors could be roots and the back set screw or perhaps some other combination. Reasoning is, two smaller chambers offer reduced "pressure up" time and provide other potential control options. Plus, the concept may reduce heat soak and sustained parasitic drag.
