Why not a turbine powered hybrid car similar to an aircraft APU?
Ok so with all of the inefficiencies of the reciprocating internal combustion engine why don’t they make a hybrid car powered by a small centrifugal turbine that would work like an aircraft APU. The car would have an all electric drive system and the turbine would produce electricity for the electric motor. The FADEC computer would control fuel flow to the turbine as more power was needed. Trains have been doing this for decades so why not cars? A plus would be that you could use any liquid or flammable gas for fuel.
Yeah but they didnt have computers back then as a driver you would have no idea just push the pedal and the car goes
Ok some of you missed the piont it is an electric car not driven directly by the turbine but buy the electricity produced by a generator connected to the turbine so no change in RPM the generator would run at the same RPM for optimal electrical production a change in load would just reqiuer more fuel
Personally, I think that is a pretty good idea. The Rover turbine car was made in 1950 and was merely experimental. Chrysler also made almost 100 turbine cars and actually had some of them in use by the general public. The problems that were experienced all had to do with the fact that they were directly coupled to the drivetrain (low starting torque, idling problems, etc.).
The idea posted here is to use the turbine merely as the generator to produce electricity for the electrical motors that would run the car. There would also have to be some batteries, like in current hybrids, to handle the transient starting conditions, but mostly the electricity required would be sent straight to the motors. This would solve all of the problems of the initial prototypes.
The reason that I think this is not really being pursued is because it is still a combustion process. Everyone is focusing on hydrogen or an all electric solution because these are perceived to be cleaner.
