Other way around i bet
Some chin on that wagon.
Same Jim Hall who ran the Pennzoil ‘Sucker Car” at Indy?
Tail Fins!! Cool. Haven’t seen those in, what? 48 years or so?
Jet engines (Brayton cycle) have notoriously poor efficiency for the duty cycle required in ground transportation — hence, the “great coils of heat” coming out of the exhaust.
not very attractive
I wonder if it smells like french fries.
I have long wondered why turbines aren’t used in trains, automobiles, and other motor vehicles. Turbines burn fuel constantly, and are therefore always producing power; in reciprocating engines, fuel burning starts and stops with each power cycle, making for increased complexity (fuel injection timing, linera-to-rotary power conversion, et al). Turbines also have only one moving part (the rotor) and one friction surface (the bearing), whereas reciprocating engines have plenty of opportunities for power to be lost (piston friction, incomplete combustion, mismatched detonation timing, increased number of moving surfaces in contact, etc.). A diesel-fueled turbine driving an electric generator would seem to me to be an ideal compact powerplant for vehicle applications.
