We all know Jay Leno is a car freak. His garage, the size of a warehouse full of rare cars. Recently, his collaboration between General Motors has produced a beautiful outcome.
Here's a little imagination of mine of the conversation between Jay Leno and General Motors.
Jay Leno : GM, since I got so many rare cars in my garage, I was thinking of having an another innovative car. Any ideas?
General Motors : Hmm, sounds like an opportunity for me to build another one and "spoil" the market with this little creative idea of mine. How about a car that run on biodiesel fuel?
JL : Hmm, sounds great to me. And what kind of engine do you suggest?
GM : How about gas turbine? Because most of the engines nowadays are piston engines. I think it's kinda rare to see a car runs on that.
JL : Any prospective brand?
GM : How about Honeywell LT 101 gas turbine?
JL : Hmm.. ok. I want my car to be built NOT only for show purposes, but meant to be driven on the road too. Can you do that for me?
GM : Sure, why not.
Jay Leno : EcoJet
Wednesday, December 30, 2009
Stan (formerly known as Lopsided Oreo)
Run on biodiesel fuel by using a Honeywell LT 101 gas turbine instead of a piston engine.
Honeywell LT 101 gas turbine engine. Produces 650 hp. At full throttle.
Introducing :
GM EcoJet Concept
2-seater car
2 separate gas tanks - i) Contains main fuel - biodiesel soya bean oil
ii) Contains traditional clean burning jet engine fuel - JP-4 - to start the turbine and run
the engine at the end of the trip to clean it
Biodiesel fuel tends to gum up a turbine. That's why JP-4 jet engine fuel exist there, to clean it.
The exhaust air : 1000 degrees Fahrenheit (normal operation)
1800 Fahrenheit (full power)
When you cook French fries, the smell of the cooking is basically the same as the smell produced by this fuel.
Based on Corvette Z06.
Inspirations from F1 cars and modern aircraft.
Constructed from Kevlar and carbon fibre.
Features :
- Azentek PC running Microsoft Windows Vista
- two LCD screens on the dashboard
i) one for the gauge cluster and
ii) another for the media and navigation controls
- standard PC functions such as word processing and Web access through a Wimax system.
- the car has NO rear view mirrors, using 2 smaller LCD screens on the dashboard to provide rear views instead, operated by cameras.
- Touchscreen / Speech recognition software using a multiple microphone array.
Since the main theme of this car is all about turbine, GM assigned Alcoa company to create a custom-made 22 " rim turbine style for the rear and 20 " for the front.
The car was assembled by the Big Dog crew for Jay Leno.
