'Steam' powered cars...
In Autocar this week.
BMW are experimenting with using the waste heat from an IC engine to produce steam which drives a motor attached to the main engine. On the test bed they're getting a 15% saving in fuel consumption - at the same time as more power and torque. Seems it's not a new idea, but BMW reckon it is practical and should be in production within 10 years. -- *If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
