Bad acting! That's gold.

Wrong, Notro...
I understand in great detail how a combustion engine works...
I'm an active mechanic in my working life as well as my free time, and I've taken all sorts of classes...
When I say efficient, I mean in comparison to any other technology or alternative energy source, so far...
And that quote (sans link) is old...
Modern efficiency in an automobile is around 35% these days and getting better...
Heat, friction and turbulence are factors that will effect any alternative energy source...
And when you factor in reliability, nothing can touch a modern gas or diesel engine...
Most steel engines have a thermodynamic limit of 37%. Even when aided with turbochargers and stock efficiency aids, most engines retain an average efficiency of about 18%-20%.[9] Rocket engine efficiencies are much better, up to 70%, because they operate at very high temperatures and pressures and can have very high expansion ratios.[10] Electric motors are better still, at around 85-90% efficiency or more, but they rely on an external power source (often another heat engine at a power plant subject to similar thermodynamic efficiency limits).Last edited by Nitro Express; 08-04-2014, 08:52 PM.No!
