  • @teamlaguna Also K.E.R.S. was ment in F1 to be used in conjunction with a normal race-engine to recuparate energy lost from braking , not as somekind of generator.

    Thank you for peaking my interest in Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems, the wiki was quite informative.

  • @teamlaguna Ooh! Like that, somewhere on youtube there is already somebody trying this, using a Capstone microturbine look for CMT380 blackbird.

    Although there is no mention of consumption rate of fuel, AFAIK it couldn't be that efficient + try having a conversation with your girlfriend when such a puppy kicks in to charge your batteries , talk about noise abatement!

  • @boinkboink1968 You are missing my point , HYBRIDS could use a microturbine to run a K.E.R.S. type setup ......

  • @teamlaguna O.K. this helicopter turbine technology was used in 1968. The Howmet had a couple of drawbacks . 1) In warm weather the turbine was less efficient then its counterparts (view other older videos of this car). 2) Fuel consumption by todays standards would be a bitch, if you would drive this thing now it would be from gaspump to gaspump with your wallet on the passenger seat.

  • @geowin97

    !!!?!!!

  • @081588101 it's a jet turbine !!! i know because i saw that car at spa

  • what kind of engine is this?

  • Sounds like the speed demon on the back of your shoulder. Or something like that :-)

  • This is true innovation. Why do cars like this always seem to get banned from competition or be commercial failures?

    We need innovators and dreamers in this world.

  • I want one!

    Saw it at Le Mans classic, not the most beautiful race car but one of the most distinctive. Seems to handle very well on the track!
