I agree that a large battery is bad thing, however that's not what I said. Precisely because it is constantly being recharged, it can be kept fairly small. As for improved responsiveness, you may have to wait till my device gets built and configured to convert particle energy directly into electric current. Then you could have a system which goes from go to whoa in milliseconds. ;) > > >-----Original Message----- >From: mixent <[email protected]> >To: vortex-l <[email protected]> >Sent: Sun, Feb 5, 2012 8:30 pm >Subject: Re: [Vo]:Idea: Using Stirling/turbine for car LENR Hybrid > > >In reply to Alain Sepeda's message of Mon, 6 Feb 2012 00:39:01 +0100: >i, >The trick is to have a hybrid with turbine running at constant speed to top up > small set of batteries that power an electric drive train with regenerative >raking. >The Chevy Volt may be a good starting point. >>Just to starts discussion on How LENR will fit cars > >I have found some interesting comment in a discussion of Stirling Hybrid >car... >http://ideas.4brad.com/archives/000094.html > >talking about low efficiency and weight of stirling compared to usual IC >talking about better performance of turbines, but sluggish to accelerate... >talking about the need of radiators to evacuate heat that in evacuated by >exhaust in IC engines > >there seems to have been a test of a Stirling version of Gran Torino in 77 > >for me it seems turbines are preferred, but the problem of radiators stay > >your comments awaited >egards, >Robin van Spaandonk >http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
