I will believe it when the first commercial car with it drives longer then 3 years.

Remember the Stirling engine car by Philips?

years.

I would like to see a GenSet using this engine.

It may give the power companies a run for their (our) money.

Yes, if it worked there would be all sorts of applications, aircraft too. What I think is the joke here, is that it needs a lubrication system. In one of those videos the guys claims 'good for US farmers as it can work on veg oil etc.etc..', but it NEEDS fuel and oil combined. I do no see how you can, in an easy way, use a normal lubrication system, so it burns oil like hell, and pollutes... I will not pas any pollution rules... If it really works at all! He asks 10 M$ more, to build a garage to fit it into existing cars... makes no sense to me, he could have rented any old garden shed :-) So there are problems, clearly. No nice GenSets...

The problem in the US is that it is illegal to modify a vehicles engine. I think is a CAFÉ rule. You can do it for Off-road vehicles, but not street. It killed the propane conversion industry.

Modify, but not replace? Anyway, I would have thought it time for the return of the gas turbine, coupled with an electric generator and supercaps.

Wankel motor. Here is a very long article-interview, in German however, discussing that issue:

Maybe if you bathed more often?

If you can't pass them, you'd better not eat them!!

...and what about the rotary engine that Wankel started with?

The wankel engine is used in a real car today, and now also in hydrogen car:

Its not me with the problem. There ar lots of food I don't eat, because they don't digest properly. :(

I don't think anyone can really digest legislation.

I wouldn't know, since I've never had the desire to eat a huge pile of paper that was handled by politicians.

is a=20

motion=20

out=20

That sounds like a variant of the old Virmel engine.

into a=20

producing=20

has=20

and=20

for=20

over=20

not=20

current=20

also be=20

able=20

and=20

Digest it? They don't even bother to read it.

...you mean some plants dislike your taste???

Yeah! No self-respecting termite would even consider a taste...

No. I have had some food allergies all my life. Then I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetic, and the medication makes other foods off limits. I can eat them, but they just lay there in my stomach, or plug up my intestines.

There are always French termites. Tell them the paper is made from snails, and they'll devour it.
