I've started to really like hybrids like the Prius. They and the clean-burning diesels are fantastic machines. With that, I wondered what else is out there that isn't hydrogen, electric, or internally combustible.

A while ago, I saw a small jet that was used in a military helicopter. It weighed something like 150 lbs, and about a third of the size of a 911 engine. Wonder what that would be like on the city streets.

Then there's gas turbine. The only gas turbine car I've seen is that old Chrysler sedan at the Petersen Museum in L.A. Has there been any development with gas turbine?

What do you guys think? Crazy ideas, no?
