How To Revolutionize America's Transportation Energy Infrastructure - With OIL...

• Dan Stafford

  There's a reason why I'm bringing up hybrid cars, Stirling engines, and algal bio-fuels that mimic gasoline enough that we don't have to change existing fuel infrastructure. The Chevy Volt already uses an electric motor to cruise. It's gas motor just runs a generator to charge batteries. Now, all internal combustion engines dump EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE ENERGY THEY MAKE AS "EXCESS HEAT". Stirling engines eat heat from any source. Small gas engine running a generator, a couple of small Stirlings running generators, and now all of a sudden, you're using 50-70% of the energy in gasoline to run an electric motor and batteries...off algae-gas. Get on it, Ford & GM!!!

      Dan Stafford Plus, if you charge the batteries at night, all the power plants are basically idling, and enough electricity goes to waste every night to run 75% of the cars on the road, if they ran on electricity!!!

      Dan Stafford You don't use gasoline engines or Stirling engines by themselves. You use them T.O.G.E.T.H.E.R.
