This is really cool. RG and I had kicked around the idea of a similar concept with the rotary engine being used as a generator rather than batteries. The rotary would be a great way to package a small power plant that could generate electricity very efficiently since it could be customized to operation in a narrow range with extremely low fuel consumption. When you get to ditch the tranny, drivshafts and even possibly brakes, you could save a ton of weight and space.

Either way, nice job buy Mitsu, maybe this will be a technology set that helps turn the company around.

 

That is pretty cool. I remember seeing this elswhere but can't remember where.

 

That's really awesome. I'm glad to see Mitsubishi hasn't thrown in the towel yet. I hope this does turn them around, I like their cars and would hate to see them disappear.

 

And yet... still the wing, I'm suprised they haven't tried harnessing the power of the wind making that thing vibrate. With that much surface area, surely you could generate at least a 14 second 1/4.
