Reply reply 40 more replies 40 more replies More replies splittingheirs • 11 days ago Also turbines have atrocious idling consumption, so probably not very good for city driving.

Reply reply 25 more replies 25 more replies More replies 6 more replies 6 more replies More replies phryan • 11 days ago The Abrams tank is powered by a turbine that can run on anything, in exchange it has terrible fuel efficiency. The benefit is flexibility but at the cost of maintenance and efficiency, for the US maintenance and fuel is basically not a concern so it's a win to be flexible. There have been a few studies for a simpler engine replacement to reduce maintenance and improve range. Both for the domestic and export markets. Reply reply 48 more replies 48 more replies More replies NetDork • 11 days ago Exhaust gets pretty hot. Jay Leno has a turbine powered motorcycle. He said once when he rode it a Lexus (maybe Mercedes?) stopped behind him at a traffic light and in the mirror he saw its bumper start melting.
