Jaguar-Land Rover engineers have obtained the necessary funding development of a car whose battery powered elective can be downloaded from a jet engine.
The technology strategy of the United Kingdom approved the grant of 1.8 million dollars from the Jaguar-Land Rover, SR Drives and Blandon Jets to develop electric vehicles that benefit from jet engines. More specifically, those of the Jaguar-Land Rover will develop an electric model that will have a tiny jet engine that will provide increased autonomy with CO2 emissions lower than those of a car.
Among the advantages of the technical solution of the Jaguar-Land Rover we can mention the possibility to burn many types of liquid fuel, and compact size. Moreover, the reaction developed by Blandon propulsorul Jets is easier and cheaper than an engine conventional piston that would fulfill the position of power generator electric vehicle stockings. Thus, models like the Chevrolet Volt will use electric propulsion while their batteries need to be loaded on a motor reati extremely compact and efficient.
Predecessors of the Land Rover, Rover Company, have developed a model equipped with a jet engine in the 1950s. It was called JET1 and autorism first passenger is equipped with a jet engine. The model could use petrol, paraffin or diesel fuel to run, and the maximum engine speed was 50,000 rpm. JET1 Rover's speed was of 141 km / h and British engineers have developed a version of its competition. The high costs of this technology at that time proved to be too high for Rover JET1 be introduced in production. Jet engines are suitable for direct propulsion of cars as it provides enough torque at low revs, and they release a high level of noise. of the jet engine from Blandon Jets is just 5% by weight, size and number of pieces of a typical piston engine.
