Please log in for more thread options Some form of thermocouple maybe???? Or something more radical? Might recover a 'little' bit of the heat lost down the tail pipe. Can you give a percentage please?????? Problem is that conventional, fueled vehicles are so inefficient overall that very little of the now expensive gasoline, diesel, natural gas, lpg etc. etc is actualy converted to moving the vehicle! And producing say, hydrogen, using electricity produced by burning coal or oil etc. doesn't make any sense at all! Electrcity produced by wind, wave or hydro (falling water) can be somewhat more efficient but then to be used in vehcles has to be stored in (heavy) batteries! So what is this 'Material'? | |||||||||||||
