As for different engines, I remember when I was a teenager at the 1964-65 World's Fair in NY. Chrysler had a turbine car that they would run around a track: http://www.motortrend.com/classic/fe...car/index.html. They said it could run on anything flammable, including Tequila. I liked to watch it go around for the sound it made. A whine that would put the gear whine of a VFR to shame. I think the problem was the extreme heat it put out.
And for a car that doesn't have to be refilled, you start with water, man, then you crack it with electricity to make hydrogen and oxygen. The engine runs on the hydrogen, makes electricity to crack the exhaust, which is water, and that is recycled back as the fuel. |
yeah the turbine cars were friggin awesome, run on anything but its very hard to smog a turbine. i think that was why the project was cancelled. they got so far as lending cars to familys for everyday durability trials
