No oil changes means its even that much better for the environment and reducing our dependence on foreign oil.

The turbine is a 30kW unit from Capstone.(CPST). I could see better applications with delivery vehicles that do a lot of stop & go. Large step vans would be ideal for these turbines. They make bigger ones too.

The Domestic Auto Makers will wait"
Until the Japanese, Chinese or Europeans,
Get a "Head Start on Microturbine HybridS!
Then They will "SCRAMBLE" To "GET IN THE BALL GAME".

Would be best to put these on vans and suvs first.

Really good thing. Where are the sharks to invest in this? No better alternative in sight imho. Post, talk and discuss! Is it available in other languages? Yes we can....

Email your congressional representatives and bring this car to their attention. It seems like a car that could be the catalyst for GM or Chysler.
And because you and I own these companies, we should have some say about what they do and don't do.

1st off we pose NO threat to this planet. It'll be fine. We're the ones that are screwed! 2nd Capstone's C30 is an awesome way to power almost ANY vehicle. I'm very well versed on all of it's capabilities and composition.

with so many Auto company factories shut down , why is Ford or GM not ramping up these facilities to produce these vehicles.
Entrenched interests, Lobbyists, poor mgmt.
The world needs these vehicles NOW.
Write your congressmen!

"whisper" how do these turbines sound? Batmobile or food blender? turbines run at high rpm and are only efficient at a certain speed so they either run or stand still. So sound is a crucial point when it comes to range extenders!
this video is worth nothing. why did they mute the sound?

I saw a video on the noise output and it was pretty low.
