Actually, CSA, it’s the perfect device for its application. Other forms of motive force have been tried, but as yet none seems to fit the overall scenerio as well. Even I, a supporter of Tesla, have to admit that currently the gas engine is as good as has been found.
“Just keep tweaking ?”
Being in first place is no excuse to stop running.
I think with improving materials and design the automotive ICE can reach 50% efficiency,
even with spark ignition.
This diesel exceeds 50%.
Wow. Huge.
Circuitsmith, you may ultimately be right. But don’t tell the regulators…we don’t want them to think that simply by mandating it the technology will suddenly appear out of nowhere.
