Inventions Needed A Frying Pan Lid that Traps Grease 03 03 2025 (off topic turbochargers)

I do believe that bacon grease that gets airborne can cause furnace filters to clog.  Whereby a furnace will trip its limit switch because it can't get air through itself fast enough and hence overheats.

But how hard would it be to make a frying pan lid that trapped grease fumes?

I mean you very well know that if you cook bacon, and I like the Beef Bacon I cooked this AM, that there will be a layer of grease under the frying pan lid.  And you throw a little baking soda and dish washing soap on it and clean it off under running water in the sink.

But what if there were a lid that did a better job?  Perhaps one whereby a portion of it, say a 1/3 you could see through.  And the other portion perhaps allowed air to travel through but not airborne bacon grease?

Aha, I was thinking of a disposable filter media.  But it could be accomplished with a precipitative screen or metal mesh gridding!  Hence defeating the "razor blade" business model whereby you always have to buy something else.

Off main topic.

I want to talk about turbo chargers?  Do they really cause heat buildup?  Do they cause motor oil to cook down to sludge and ruin engines?  Do they cause increased backflow and the same problem?  So if they are more fuel efficient doesn't it really matter in terms of energy costs if they don't last as long?  I mean good god, if you are burning a quart of oil a week because you have an old turbocharger, how are we really meeting better environment and the related end goals of fuel efficiency through implementation of them?  And so you ask yourself could the technology be improved?  Whereby you are eliminating the above issues?  Then you think of superchargers instead of turbochargers.  But a supercharger decreases gas mileage but likely near doubles horsepower.  Has that technology ever been tried to be implemented whereby the goal isn't doubling horsepower, whereby such device provides incremental power at same fuel usage thereby increasing mpg?

Why can't precipitative just be spelled precipative?
