Per Gillbrand – Seminar @ Saab Museum

Posted on 15. Jun, 2007 by Ryan in 1970-1979, 2000-2009, Trollhättan, Sweden

On Friday, the 8th of June, 2007 at the Saab Festival, the legendary Per Gillbrand also known as “Mr. Turbo” who was responsible for introducing the turbocharger in 1977 ran a seminar on the combustion engine inside of the Saab Museum.

While the seminar itself was entirely in Swedish, some of the visuals were interesting for photographs, I declined to film it due to the global audience that visits Saab History would require English as the international language standard.

I have however provided an informative film done in 1979, two years after the turbocharger was introduced into production models that shows Per Gillbrand explaining in an interview just how a Turbocharger works.
