Besidomėdamas dyzeliniais varikliais, forume radau labai teisingą pastabą:
"Naudinga žinoti,kad 1400kg sveriantis automobilis su Cx0,30 judėdamas tolygiu 100km/h greičiu naudoja tik ~16AJ variklio galios."
Kas labai susišaukė atmintyje su ~1980m tokio Steve Marko darytais eksperimentais: (Atsiprašau dėl anglų kalbos- tingėjau išversti

The idea was simple and elegant at the same time.
I found my first experiments very encouraging.
I took a 20 hp 4 stroke gasoline engine coupled to a 48 volt generator
coupled to two banks of storage batteries coupled to a 48 volt aircraft
starter motor connected to the transmission of a ford Fairmont
automobile.
The Ford worked well.
It did not have blazing acceleration but was definitely adequate.
You could drive it around town all day and on the highway at 60 MPH it
would burn 1 gallon of fuel for every 50 miles you traveled.
That is very good for a 3800 Lb. Ford at 60 MPH which on it's best day
would have only achieved about 18 mpg.
I had proven my idea would work so I set out to refine it.
I needed a more efficient primover and I needed a more efficient electrical
conversion system.
I found a wonderful 2-stroke gasoline engine that would put out 25 hp on
one gallon for 3.5 hours.
I then coupled that engine to 4- twelve volt automotive alternators run in
series into 4-12 volt banks of batteries.
Now I had a super efficient gasoline engine with a very efficient electric
energy conversion system.
The car now accelerated very well using the extra power stored in the
battery banks and cruised at 65 MPH using 18 HP and leaving an extra 5
to 7 HP output from the 25 hp Gasoline engine to keep the batteries
charged up to capacity for acceleration when necessary.
I added a governor to control the gasoline engine to throttle back when
necessary and save fuel.
You could drive it over town and high way all day.
It worked wonderfully and achieved 320 MPG when driven on a trip from
Los Angeles to Las Vegas Nevada, a distance of several hundred miles.
The car was a great success publicly and I invited Chrysler, Ford and
General Moters to come to see the car.
They all sent representatives to see the vehicle, but I was surprised
because they did not seem very impressed at all.
I thought I had discovered the solution to the energy crises and they
didn't even want to study the car I built.
They were polite and they all asked me if I wanted to work for their
companies but none of them were excited at all.
I couldn't understand why until I met a very impressive fellow.............
