Will this internal combustion engine up start the economy?

3.5 times more efficient than a standard internal combustion engine. Perhaps society will have some resources left over to develop fusion propulsion for space craft and then.................. To the Mexican border on a tank of gasoline would be nice. Was I optimistic?.........................Trig |

The ideal gas engine for a hybrid car is internal combustion non-reciprocating, either Wave Disk or a more conventional turbine coupled to an alternator. Lightest wins. Gas engines are more efficient when they can be tuned for a small number of constant RPMs operation. You put electric motors on each axle and distribute torque electrically in real-time to minimize loss and maximize power. A small lightweight high voltage battery to act as capacitive ballast and you've got a 70MPG hybrid-electric vehicle with 0-60 MPH in under 6 seconds and a 600 mile range on an 8 1/2 gallon tank. What would be interesting about the Wave Disk is if you could stack 'em with different blade configurations driving a common drive shaft to provide say two or more ranges of high efficiency RPM operation depending upon the drive load. I'm not sure this is as easy to do *efficiently* with a conventional turbine. Dave |

Looking for relevance to sci.space.xxx ?
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humphrey_cycle This Wave Disk engine is a close cousin to our well discussed PWDE (pulse-wave detonation engine)... Dave |

Dave There is not much relevance other than the general economy needs something to boost it. A new engine of greater efficiency MIGHT help IF permitted to do so. I clearly missed the PWDE memo/thread(s). Thanks for the search phrase. Trig |
