Dodge Turbine Car Commercial Promo Film... This may be of educational interest ,,. A neighbor who was a dandy of a mechanic saw these cars and the Girls in Exhibition up north back in the mid 60's , while I was still in grade school ,. He has gone on to meet his maker in heaven to make repairs for GOD's fleet ..... But ,He Was excited ,and admitted there were some problems to be overcome ,, I remember that the turbine would run on anything that would burn , Including perfume or nail polish remover with no engine adjustments required... Alot fewer parts , one spark plug , no antifreeze ,never needs an oil change , will start and run equally well in all weather ,,. TRue , the best milage is obtained by cross country long range driving , the 1960's technology made stop and go city driving at lights very impractical. Certainly would not be the power choice for a tractor trailer rig unless it was totally dedicated to long range over the road , and the turbine was allowed tobe king of the road with no stops between destinations . But All the same here is the film to see on You -TUBE . It is interesting , those with critical minds could possibly find a proper solution if they apply themselves ... It is far easier to say an idea will not work , than to rack ones mind to find a perfect solution , bottom line is , by giving up and saying it won't work , We go back to square one , and being hostage to the current fueling methods... When there is a WILL there is a WAY !... Stubborn minded Folks usually do solve problems ...
