inside it! Diesel vs. Hybrid | drive it

[aaronzack14]

anybody ever tried diesel-electric technology(like in trains)? a small TDI motor (1-3 cylinders) running at high idle to half or 3/4 throttle, turning a generator, powering electric motors? an the good part about diesel, you can run them on almost any kind of fuel/oil. and if something where to happen (SHTF). you can make your own fuel.
