Please do not. Drivel usually comes out.
Electric drives will be the norm - the new Tosh batteries and
supercapacitors will make them viable. Physically small range extenders are
seriously being looked into. Audi is looking into the Wankel under the trunk
floor - a concept car had one in. Running at their constant speed "sweet
spot" they are economical and via able. They would be rarely be used anyhow,
so size is more in order than ultra efficiency.
It is clear you do not know the advances in Stirling engines. One a samll
free piston (the only moving part) model is in domestic heating CHP boilers.

It also sits at the focal point of a large mirror and generates electricity.
Another form of solar power

"limited use" as I said. An BTW, it is _not_ used to powere
submarines, It is used as an 'auxilliary power source" only and not
used for propulsion.

It is main propulsion.

Just like your "amazing air car". You will buy into the most amazing
BS.
