Am I the only one bothered by the title of this thread? A turbo pump is
a pump driven by a turbine. An "electric driven turbo pump" is a
contradiction.
It bothered me a little, but then I realized I didn't know a good word
for the sort of pump in question -- the sort made in the fashion of a
turbine, but converting power in the other direction. "Centrifugal
pump" might do, but seems a bit too specific: there are axial pumps
too.
