Re: Ideas For A Crazy Real Life Engine (Money No Limit)
More RPM's? The gas turbine engine is much better at handling high RPM's than piston engines and uses current materials. Harder revving engines aren't always the best choice, especially if you're moving weight, so it'd be better to look at technologies that improve engine flexibility rather than outright rev range.
Better efficiency and less pollution? Changing the fuel to hydrogen solves the pollution issue and hydrogen is literally everywhere so efficiency isn't so important anymore. Besides, converting to electric motors neatly sidesteps all the engineering issues with using hydrogen and is cleaner across the board.
So, rather than suggest uses for materials that no-one fully understands, maybe you could theorise about something worthwile, like how does someone go about making an electric car that will capture the imagination of the car enthusiast!
