Sorry you have not laid out your argument very well, you cannot blame that on me, but I have yet to see a clear specification of what you are thinking using realistic value, instead you insist I am finally "seeing the light", nor do I read such derogatory posts. I don't think you have anything here. Please enumerate your ideal system so I can nit pick it.

So far the more efficient generator sounds like a unicorn, every unproven claim or concern becomes absolute proof of its existence. Build it, lets see it, we know what ICEs can do in the right hands (indeed we know what EVs can do in the right hands now too). TZero spent $75,000 building one that got 30-35 when that ICE/weight should be getting 55mpg easily. But they took the tools of ICE efficiency away from the driver by hooking it up to an electronic torque converter.
