Chris, could you explain in the simplest terms possible how the draft booster works?

@alsancle simple you say... well simply the draft booster is a steam turbine situated between the electric blower motor and the fan its self, when the control box calls for heat the blower motor starts up and with it the points which make the spark in the combustion chamber , this all works fine to make steam and bumble around at 25mph but when you open the throttle up wide down the freeway the exhaust back pressure spins the turbine up faster than the motor and turbo charges the combustion chamber with more air and fuel and suddenly you produce lots of steam ,

@Chris So the booster is excess steam driven? How does it spin up if you are sitting at a red light with no excess steam? Or is it electric?

Very interesting. And complicated.
