Turbocharged Automobiles

GR Corolla the only turbocharged car I would buy, but 21 MPG City & 28 MPG highway, terrible fuel economy compared to your Corolla Hybrid which gives 50 MPG easily and 70 MPG driven gently, think less than 3 liters of fuel per 100 km. GR Corolla requires premium fuel, our Corolla hybrid runs on regular 87 cheaper unleaded gasoline E10 or ethanol-free from The Grange, Issaquah, Washington State, USA

Toyota the only company I trust to make a reliable turbocharged car & the mostly handmade GR Corolla a real low profit margin gem for around $50 grand or fifty thousand dollars, less if you don't get the fully loaded version. 

Spinning bits, turbo, switched reluctance 130K RPM digital handheld vacuum or hair dryer, higher RPM means smaller windings & magnets can make more electrical power output with less mass in smaller cheaper packaging easier to integrate into vehicles as small as a kick scooter

CFM 3D metal powder printed impeller, laser balanced, no vibration, ultra precise manufacturing, compact metal turboalternator fits in your hand making 10kw of electricity spinning magnets through gold copper alloy windings, powered by a butane cartridge can or torch propane tank

Automotive Turbochargers are Microturbines

Waste heat for cabin heating winter conditions & to defrost windows of ice or snow

Shaft integrated alternator cold side power production

Motor on cold side can spool up turbo for no lag

Multipath Energy recovery improves fuel economy

E-booster compressor turbo improve response & efficiency 

E-turbo: Garrett Motion e-motor+ turbocharger instant boost & improve engine efficiency

Electric turbochargers reduce turbo lag, improve fuel efficiency, enhance power output

Turbocharger cold side generator power charging traction battery pack in hybrid electric energy regeneration for e-boost acceleration assist to reduce fuel consumption & emissions, more performance with better fuel economy, think 50 MPG with 350 HP @Toyota using microturbine. 

Imagine Prius 0 to 60 MPH in 4 seconds, but also 55 MPG when commuting in real world traffic daily, or 3 liters per 100km Best performance with best fuel economy

found many vehicles made since 1950's using micro gas turbines or gas turbine hybrid engines more recently, so why are no automakers doing this now in 2025 @ToyotaMotorCorp microturbine hybrid electric engine @ToyotaRacing low mass high performance turbogenerator HEV

6th Generation Prius Prime Rav4 Hybrid Tacoma, Hybrid Tundra, micro-turbine propane, natural gas, biofuel, hydrogen, ammonia, ethanol

Volvo ECC (Environmental Concept Car) executive luxury concept by Volvo 1992, powered by a hybrid electric gas turbine engine

Jaguar C-X75 is a hybrid-electric, 2-seat, 778 hp (789 PS; 580 kW) 4 YASA electric motors, 1 for each wheel, batteries driving these motors recharged using two diesel-fed micro gas turbines

Compared to conventional piston engines, turbine engines generally require less maintenance, last longer, and start more easily in cold conditions;[9] the A-831 started properly at temperatures as low as −20 °F (−29 °C).

Austin 250hp gas turbine a free turbine turboshaft engine developed by Dr John Weaving at Austin Motor Company. From experimental Austin Princess car TUR1. [1] Various uses suggested, mobile power unit & hospital backup generator & more powerful derivates developed, no use cases

Automakers turbochargers common now new car engines, but no turboshaft engines as prime mover

For decades passenger aircraft APU are turboshaft power generators perfect for HEV applications, high performance automotive hybrid electric vehicles. It makes me wonder, why no vehicles for sale with a compact industrial turboshaft generator?

Automotive needs 100kw to 1mw power, commuter vs supercar power range

Compact turboshaft generators for power plants of this size cost more than new cars, new trucks or new SUV & thus fail feasibility studies done by automakers as none of these turbogenerators are mass produced

Turboshaft hot exhaust into microtube array boiler to make steam drive + electric motor torque mixed + ultra capacitors, long life, super efficient super powerful, super cool, interesting, low mass high performance

Turbine Steam Hybrid Electric 

Turboshaft generator makes exciting, a small helicopter turbine (Y2K) electricity to charge traction battery NiMH or Lithium-ion or Sodium Ion or Ultra Capacitors, then Induction (No Magnet) VFD AC 800 Volt inverter drive electric motor with 500 HP AWD LSD front & back

Take Toyota Prius, remove 1NZ-FXE, mod ECU piggyback controller, laptop tune, replace with Turboshaft smallest helicopter turbine like Y2K motorcycle, used refurbished, gear reduction to match engine crank RPM speeds into PSD mixed with MG1 & MG2, fuel with propane or butane gas

Turbogenerator Hybrid Vehicle 

Almost any fuel possible in turbo combustion

Recuperated integrated catalytic converter cleaner emissions & less noise

Lower mass high power ratio turbine engine

Exhaust cooling w/ air injection bypass keeps hot core from melting, long life too

Can you imagine how cool it would sound to press the start button in a car with an automotive turbogenerator, effective a high-performance hybrid. Spooling up, air woosh ramps up 

Muffled (sound dampened recuperator w/ cat, air injection), gas diffusion reduces sound pressure
