[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 2740153, member: 2189"] WOW! 55% BTE, that is very impressive. The best current efficiency of current internal combustion technology is in the mid 30's. One advantage of electric over internal combustion is electric motors are now at 95% efficient which is huge as it relates to lost or wasted energy. Will be interesting if we can get internal combustion engines approaching 70% BTE as this may be a real game changer because the other side of the efficiency curve is since more is being converted into real energy, less is wasted in the way of exhaust out the tailpipe.
