Re: Rethinking the Internal Combustion Engine



Yeah,
        We're all over the place.  One week efficiency, one week FET's.  But
the list is mostly about the cars- we all like 'em for different
reasons, or for all reasons. Me, I think it's a fun project, it saves
wear on my (old, stinky) ICE cars, and it's elegant (if heavy) and
clean.  Sorta.  Maybe.
        But EV is "Electric Vehicle", not "EnviroVehicle" so we go on about
cars...  Good luck looking for a more environmentally- focussed list...
