hybrid using freon with Rankine cycle

[drmiller100]

cars have Air Conditioning, so the compressor is already mounted.

Add a couple of small Freon tanks. Heat one tank with coolant off the engine and exhaust.

Cool the other tank with cold water off the bottom of the radiator, or make it even simpler and use the evaporator on the front of the car.

When you want to go faster or accelerate, run freon into the front of the compressor, and use the compressor as a motor using the "hot" freon on the hot tank, with the waste going to the evaporator.

On decel, use the compressor to pump the liquid from the cold tank back into the hot tank.

What are you hoping that will accomplish for you?

[drmiller100]

well, I can easily retrofit existing cars.

I can make a car into a hybrid for probably 400-800 bucks a car.

I can increase mileage in stop and go traffic.

I should realize 10 percent or so "free" mileage based upon typical Rankine cycle numbers.

Sounds strange. You MUST build it!
