   Please do not. Drivel usually comes out.   
      
   Electric drives will be the norm - the new Tosh batteries and   
   supercapacitors will make them viable. Physically small range extenders are   
   seriously being looked into. Audi is looking into the Wankel under the trunk   
   floor - a concept car had one in.  Running at their constant speed "sweet   
   spot" they are economical and via able. They would be rarely be used anyhow,   
   so size is more in order than ultra efficiency.   
      
   It is clear you do not know the advances in Stirling engines. One a samll   
   free piston (the only moving part) model is in domestic heating CHP boilers.
