[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 315685, member: 412"] I still think a very small turbine engine powering a hybrid charging system obviously directly off the output shaft but then also capture the heat as well. The Google-Machine says you need 4-5HP to run a 100Amp alternator. More Google-Machine magic says here’s a 50HP turbine footprint and weight spec: 50HP would drive 500-700 Amps of charging easily. The engine listed above uses ~3Gal/hr of Jet A. That’s the equivalent of ~26-27 MPG @ 80MPH. Now, figure you don’t need the turbine-charger on anywhere close to all the time. Someone smarter than me (not saying much) probably has a good reason why they’re not doing this already. [/QUOTE]
