Audi are looking into using a very small Wankel engine as a range

size and no vibration is also a great major advantage.


That'll be why all generators already use them.



Nothing stopping you buying an electric car and a small portable
generator to carry around in case you didn't quite make it home.

Making a lot of noise. Very green thing to do.

But why not just carry one of dribble's super capacitors in your pocket?
