Cleaning oil in the gulf


I've been trying to get my hands on a Cyclone WHE.

I'd like to connect it to the front of my diesel's crankshaft by a clutch so it can start the vehicle (no batteries needed at all since the Cyclone runs off an APU or engine waste heat), give the diesel engine torque so the diesel can operate where it wants, and run a hydraulic pump for powering a second hydraulic pump sandwiched where the clutch is like this from Lightning Hybrids. I'll insulate the engine so the only way heat can get out is through going through the diesel or the steam engine this will also help for warming up the diesel since it'll never get the chance to cool down. When sitting in traffic I can shut the diesel off and just creep along with the hydraulic from the accumulator or fire up the steam for A/C, hydraulic, and electrical power.

Instead of engine braking I'd store the energy in the hydraulic accumulator and then use it later.

Speaking of steam I just installed a Snow Performance water methanol injection system on my old IDI which increased MPG 2-3.

I'm at 20 mpg now and getting closer to the goal of Perpetual Motion.

Check this out Tesla's Self Acting Engine and implosion engines.
