The Weird Engine I Can’t Stop Thinking About
A conceptual engine that lives somewhere between clever and questionable.
After spending way too much time writing about other people’s strange engines, I realized something dangerous: I have one of my own. It’s been rattling around in my head for years — a design that sits somewhere between “this might actually work” and “this is how you end up on a watchlist for experimental combustion.”
So here it is: my personal contribution to the Weird Engine Hall of Fame.
The Concept in One Sentence
A two‑stroke, diesel, supercharged, scavenged, constant‑speed engine designed solely as a range‑extender generator for a series plug‑in hybrid.
In other words: a tiny, angry, extremely efficient metal box whose only job is to sit in its happy place and make electricity.
