Give this is just the test version, how about we speculate on how much more powerful / fuel efficient this thing could get with bunch of development chucked at it. So, it's only .57 today, what about after a few years of investment?
Seems like it has a lot of potential.
@Hmmm.
Heat and temperature are not the same thing. You have have extreme temperatures without actually having a great deal of heat. Temperature is effectively the vibration of atoms. If you don't have a lot of atoms you don't have much heat, regardless of the temperature of those atoms.
The Sun at its surface is around 6000 celcius, in the core several million. Pick a number in between and you will find that 'somewhere in the interior of the sun' there's your number.
It infuriates me no end that there are supposedly rational people who still dispute the veracity of the 69-onwards moon landings; it demonstrates a severe lack of scientific literacy and comprehension.
It's the end result of unbridled cynicism, far to prevalent in IT circles.
Still, makes for a great interview question - "Do you think the moon landings were faked?" "Yes!" .... CV immediately goes in the circular file.
My 2000 spec Mk1 Audi A4 TDI (160bhp, 1.9 TDI, remapped) can carry 4-5 people and luggage no problem.
60+mpg on a long run, 45mpg around town, typically 700 miles on a tank of diesel.
0-60 in 8 and a bit seconds, air-con, cruise, electric everything etc.
Better looking than a Prius, faster, just as economical, far less expensive (£ and environmental impact) to make/repair.
You can buy one for under £3000 secondhand too.
