80% thermal efficiency is amazing
I would have loved to but it was annoying. Not your fault. But the guy did apparently reference turbines having spent much of the beginning talking about the Chrysler. So I was left with the impression he was going with.

Just because a video looks slick and well produced does not mean it is. This pn was borderline terrible. Sorry, I wanted to see it, but I don't do nonsense.
