These illustrations are from the 2006 EPA documents, 7 years old. They were the source of my statements about efficiency comparisons. Another it the efficiency is high enough to allow P&G of the accumulator versus P&G of the vehicle.
Remember Neil, the X prize rules outlawed any P&G tactics. I am talking about maintaining a constant vehicle speed while operating the engine intermittently, automatic constant speed P&G of the primary power source, with any fuel consumed at highest BSFC, which in one test on the euro cycle amounted to the engine running for only 11% of the test period.
Can any other vehicles do this today, regardless of their price? We are talking about the cheapest car you can buy not something costing over 100K.
Got your PM Ian. I'll try to get the doc to you, one way or the other it will be avaialble even if I have to stick it in an envelope and mail it to you.
