Hello Adian,
Youth is relative, I sure we both are young to somebody and old to
others. The 2 stroke diesel engine has existed for years now in heavy
trucks and farm tractors but, I don't know of any passenger and light trucks
using them, other than the occasional Detroit 4-71 [I may have that
designation(s) wrong] swapped into pickups by their owners. Keep in mind
in a self contained vehicle all effort is expended by the power plant. The
electrical power needed to use electrical devices to take place of the
mechanical functions in the engine will by produced by that engine. The
power of the air moving over the body of the vehicle in produced by the
vehicle's engine. I'm sure someone else is going to say he same things more
elegantly than I but that's my two cents of comments.-Doug, N0LKK

Here are a few thoughts I would like to share. I spend a lot of my
time thinking of ways to drive cheaper when I am on long car rides. I am
young and not very knowledgeable with engines and efficiency, but I do
believe I have a few ideas, which may work. I love the fact that I can
produce environmentally friendly fuel using waste vegetable oil, but I
believe we must put more effort in stretching our distance from a given
amount of fuel. I do realize that some of these ideas may not be possible
but I still have to present them in the hope that they may eventually lead
to more efficient vehicles.
