If you’ve heard about the Chrysler Turbine car, you might hear people say things like “It shoots flames out the back”, or “Don’t stand behind it!” While it’s true that turbine engines produce an incredible amount of heat, Chrysler was actually able to develop an ingenious device called a “Regenerator” that took heat from the exhaust and warmed the intake air, resulting in dramatically better efficiency AND exhaust temperatures cooler than a regular piston-engined car! Want to learn more about th
