I swear, this right here is the future for automotive. The idea that electric cars are the future is sorta off because even at the hypothetical max, it’ll be less efficient, and will not have the robustness of an engine/turbine in times of crisis, such as was evident with California and Texas with extreme weather and power outages

It is difficult to understand why they even went ahead with the power unit because the thermodynamics did not add up. The fact the units were fitted into luxury bodies would indicate it was to appeal to the public. It did. However the dynamometer and the emission analyser do no lie.

3:38 "Pre heated air, requires less fuel"... Isn't it that cold air is better for ignition?
@alexzander1839

jgallario, the regenerator/recouperator adds more heat to the compressed air that is trapped between the compressor outlet and the first stage turbine to increase it's temperature/pressure even more than the compessor can by itself. The greater the temperature of the gas leading to the tubine, the more efficient it will be because of the increased pressure. So if you can raise temperature/pressure without adding fuel you will save on fuel. This is the same principle as Smokey Yunick's hot vapor engine for a piston engine that heats the air-fuel mixture between the compressor and the intake manifold. The heated fuel portion of the air/fuel mixture expands 600 times its original volume and create a positive pressure on the piston down on the intake stroke because the expansion is trapped by the compressor which acts as a one way valve.

In normal piston engines is true because cooled air means increased volume of air in the engine and improved combustion and power, in a turbine car heated air between compressor and combustor means less fuel used to eat up air and so increased efficiency

@@forloop7713, Smokey Yunick interested in the trapped, pressurized air/fuel mixure between the compressor outlet and the piston on the intake stroke. That's a lot of pressure when compared to the conventional system like you described. That's because on a conventional system, heating the air separately would decrease it's density and reduce the amount of fuel needed to achieve stoichometry and therefore the power outlet so the air must be cooled to increase densuty. But if the air and fuel were added TOGETHER BEFORE the turbo, then you can exploit the fact that the fuel portion of the mixture expands 600 times it's original volume when heated and that pressure can used to shove down the piston on it's intake stroke before it is compressed then ignited. That out of the box thinking is the opposite of what automotive literature promotes.

Yawn! Rover Motor Company was so far ahead of anyone in regards to Gas Turbine cars... that in 1950 they set a speed record with "JET-1" the car is at the museum in Gaydon, as are many other Rover Gas Turbine cars! In fact they raced at LeMans 1963-65, and in Nov 1965 the ROVER-BRM Gas Turbine car fresh from 10th place at LeMans was in California nd i did well over 25 laps in it with Peter Candy & my dad Richard Green.

Why not? Minimal parasitic loss due to friction, a fraction of the weight of a piston engine, doesn't need additional parts like a cooling system, a very simple planetary gear transmission system, energy efficient, with the exception of number of compressor stages and possibly under hood space very few limits for shaft horsepower. A turbine will burn anything that is or can be made combustible, and admit it turbines just sound cool. Unless of course you are in bed with the Rockefeller oil family, or you just refuse to embrace modern engine technology. My favorite platform is still the SBC with a Q-jet especially if its a Vortec, but I also see the value of fuel injection, coil on plug, and better air quality from improved emissions systems.
