They should chop a couple feet off the back and make a rally car out of this....

"Why did you turn?!" comes to mind....
Its the F-14 TomCruise!
So, does this turbine generator itself somehow act as the waste gate to regulate the speed of the turbo? Or is the turbine generator in line with a wastegate? It seems to me like F1's layout with the motor/generator connected directly to the turbo is simpler and would be able to generate power efficiently over a…
In theory, some of the pumping losses during cruise from the mostly closed throttle could be recovered by closing the throttle more and using a turbine to meter intake air. I've done some calcs and found the maximum power absorbed by the throttle to be something on the order of 1 kW to 3 kW, depending on the size of…
At first I thought we were looking at the front end of a Datsun 510 or something, instead of the back end of a McLaren.
Is that the City of Everett, the 747 prototype? If so, it might explain some of the strange modifications I saw under the tail at The Museum of Flight.
Daily driving my '68 Volvo was a lot like what you say. Everyone you meet seems to have an aunt or something who owned a Volvo when they were a kid. I suppose the difference with the Volvo is that it was super reliable and would only break down once about every 2 or 3 hours. I checked the valve clearances a while…
Talk about reefer madness!
They should also put every politician who didn't fight to end the war on drugs away for life. No drug prohibition, no murder!
Like, why do the turbine and compressor spin in opposite directions? :)
Pi hundred thousand miles... to 10.5 digits.

How much energy does it take to produce and haul around a thermoelectric or steam turbine generator? How much pollution do these devices produce over their lifespan? What is the opportunity cost of the development and production of waste heat systems? My guess is that waste heat recovery beyond what is done by…

That lean though!
That's a nice looking high lift jack.
Dress your Volvo up like a BMW, and it starts acting like a BMW...
