Thanks! I'm blown away by the LiquidPiston engine. It's a shame it's taken them 20 years to get this far, but it looks extremely promising for power to weight and simplicity.
-
great to see all these enginge types in the one update. also good that you include thermal efficiency data when it's known.
-
I like the sound of the turbine EV car!
-
That jet turbine one sounds like the future driving by!
-
Interesting but would appreciate more detail on each
-
I like that Avadi Engine, but I'm a little biased.
-
One more turbine generator that I believe could successfully work today as a range extender is Cosworths CatGen Turbine engine.
-
This is the lvl of engineering that needs to be brought in ic engines. Not only as range extenders but also with variable load aspeed and torque handling I would like to see the FMEA of all these engines.
-
the second one has an interesting sound.
-
Hmm not clickbait, i am genuinely surprised!
-
Is any further development interest happening on centrifugal compression disk engines?
-
They use APU's on planes and Space Shuttle, would make sense to use them on hybrid EV's.
-
A few of these are not even working engines. Some were running on air pressure, which is very different from IC. I can think of an easy way to balance the double acting single piston, btw, either passively dynamical or actively. And it you did what I'm thinking you could balance it very well.
-
SFC (specific fuel consumption) in pounds per horsepower-hour (or g/kWh) is at least as important as specific mass. 10 kW is plenty of power for an EV range extender.
-
A small turbine used at a constant speed running a generator would be a hreat range extender.
-
Still a long way to go.
-
Do any of these engines solve the pollution issue?
-
@Tech Planet have you considered using grammarly?
-
Nothing said about the duke engine or has it gone by the way?
-
Just because a complex engine can be made it does not follow that it should be.
