Neil Young warehouse blaze started in hybrid 'LincVolt' car

The three-alarm blaze that caused $1.1 million in damage to a warehouse filled with rock legend Neil Young's music equipment and memorabilia appears to have started in a one-of-a-kind hybrid car stored at the site, a fire official said Monday.
Flames began in a 1959 Lincoln Continental dubbed LincVolt, which runs on electric batteries and a biodiesel-powered generator, and then spread to the warehouse at 593 Quarry Road in the early morning of Nov. 9, according to Belmont-San Carlos Fire Marshal Jim Palisi and a website devoted to the car.
Young assembled a team of workers in 2008 to convert the 19.5-foot behemoth from gasoline to hybrid power, an effort he chronicled in a four-part film series.
While the exact cause of the fire is still being probed, it seems "to be an operator error that occurred in an untested part of the charging system," Young wrote in a statement. Workers have removed the car's computer and hope it will shed light on the cause.
"We are investigating the components involved with plug-in charging," Young wrote.
The flames severely damaged the car and caused an estimated total of $850,000 in damage to the items Young had stored in the roughly 10,000-square-foot warehouse. On the morning of the fire, Young's workers and friends carried guitars, framed photos, film canisters and crates of musical equipment out of the burned structure. Damage to the building is estimated at $250,000, Palisi said.
"How

do you put a price on that vehicle?" Palisi added. "To me, it's priceless."
Firefighters managed to save at least 70 percent of the building's contents, which included five other classic cars. They raced to the scene about 2:55 a.m. and had the blaze under control by 3:45 a.m., officials said.
Young expressed his thanks to the fire department for saving what they could of his items in the warehouse, saying "a lot of archival items were threatened and the fire department did a first-class job protecting them."
The music legend had just returned from an appearance at the Specialty Equipment Market Association car show in Las Vegas, where he delivered a talk on the hybrid.
"I love my car," he told the audience.

Re: Young/Goodwin/Kruger Auto X-prize team confirm HHO gas!
All three of the teams using Hydroxy gas were not allowed to compete in the X-prize, and LincVolt has moved away from Jonathan Goodwin's original vision for it. I do think the capstone turbine is cool, however.
Wait till crude goes higher, you will see a renewed interest in this sort of stuff. Seems like $4/gal premium unleaded did the trick last time.
I'm playing with methanol injection in my 87 grand national now, and have it turned up to 25psi on the stock drive-train, up from 13psi, using only a chip/injectors/fuel pressure regulator and a cold-air intake; and making some BIG power from a stock v6, reliably and detonation free.

You can buy compressed bottled methane? or are you generating it some how?
Without any drilling by the US in the Gulf, I think the prices will head up near $4/gallon and if they take some of Oblama's recommendations, the taxes will drive it another 50 cents higher.

They used methanol injection to increase horsepower in piston engine fighters in WW2. I have never really looked into the mechanics of the process.

Re: Young/Goodwin/Kruger Auto X-prize team confirm HHO gas!
it's simple, reciprocating pistons are all about suck/bang/blow, and with a turbo you have to worry about charge density and detonation.
The methanol is 130+ octane, and burns cool.
problem solved.

This fucking thread!! Damnit all to hell, man!
Alright. If it boosts the fuel efficiency of a Corvette, that only proves that the engine wasn't getting enough O2 through natural aspiration. That is an anecdote. This does not mean that any car with a turbo will see an improvement in efficiency.
What is a turbo doing anyway? It pumps air into the intake so that more fuel can be burned correctly. In a car without a turbo, mashing the gas pedal down will dump in more fuel, right? But if you don't get more O2 also, then you don't get a proper air/fuel ratio. So without a turbo, there is only so much fuel you can efficiently burn - basically, its a cap on power.
That said - the apparatus to pump in air isn't free - it costs energy somewhere. In a clever system, it would use energy that is being dumped anyway - heat would be the best candidate since it is being generated and not used.
THIS DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING!
-----------------------
ETA: ... except that Corvette's are the balls, yo.

Re: Young/Goodwin/Kruger Auto X-prize team confirm HHO gas!
Turbochargers use exhaust gas scavenging, it's thermal dynamics 101. It's wasted heat energy that is being pushed out the tailpipe, likewise the engine is pulling air in. When a turbocharger is used on an engine under normal loads, not increased boost, they help the engine run more efficiently.TROOPER wrote:This fucking thread!! Damnit all to hell, man!

Why does a diesel electric locomotive use regeneteravige braking; why not just use disc/drum brakes to stop... ?
Why bother w/capturing that energy wasted w/the motors running and wasted friction energy to stop the train.. that, my friend, is (for lack of a better term) free energy, at least in the context of slowing the train.
The turbo helps the motor breathe more efficiently, not just under boost, under normal pressures. It captures wasted heat energy to drive an impeller to keep the motor from having to draw the air in. I'm not talking about air/fuel ratios, I'm talking about the same unit-volume of air in a given CFM flow under less work.
Nobody argues otherwise that understands how reciprocating piston internal combustion engines work.
Re: Young/Goodwin/Kruger Auto X-prize team confirm HHO gas!
Exhaust isn't a free energy source. Those silly, loud-ass ricers with the over-sized exhuast do what they do in an attempt to reduce the effort of the engine to expel exhaust through the muffler. Look at it in silencer/gun terms. If you really wanted to minimize blow-back, you'd take the silencer off completely. The downside is that its louder.
With ricers, its a compromise... there's still *some* muffler there, but it doesn't suppress worth a s--t. On the plus side, its less work for the engine. Using a high-flow exhaust doesn't give more power to the engine, but it does put more of the engine's power to the tires, and less on venting exhaust.
A turbo actually increases back pressure, because now the engine has to basically turn a windmill on the way to the tail-pipe. Of course that windmill generates power by increasing fuel burn rate - but that isn't the same as efficiency. That's power. Theoretically, the system decreases efficiency as a cost, with the benefit being an increase in power.
On this particular example, it could be that the Corvette's big engine wasn't getting enough air normally to run at its best. It is a big engine afterall. By the same token, its big-block V-8 might see less of a decrease in power per piston to turn that turbo-charger... especially compared with a very, very small 4-cylinder.
Either way - the automotive industry is a mature industry, breakthroughs are usually small, and growth is at the margins. Turbochargers are a well-known tool, it isn't a new thing. If they consistently boosted MPG, then all cars would have them because the big manufacturers seek increases in MPG all the time. Even if there were some kind of conspiracy where the oil company prevented that from being true somehow, there'd be a thriving cottage industry for after-market alterations to give everyone that boost in MPG. It just isn't there across the board - or even for most of the board.

A turbo can be used to make a engine more effective fuel vise
A turbo can be used to make a engine more effective cubic vise
the first is making it run more miles pr Gallon
the last make a small engine more powerfull
then you can have both depending on how the charging pressure is set
a diesel without a turbo is sucking in the air needed for burning the fuel
the amount of air is direct related to the rpm of the engine
so is the fuel
with a turbo the more fuel you burn , the more exhoust gas you create the more energy you have to drive the turbo
that means a turbo KEEPS its horsepower , even driving up a hill
try that with out a turbo
that would result in lower rpm , that would result in less air taking in , that would ,,, you get it ,,right
if you drive a 40 ton truck on a flat road
then the turbo charge pressure is low , the miles pr gallon is high
starting to drive up a hill , the turbo will start to raise the pressure , you can see that in many trucks
its the turbocharge pressure gauge
you can maybe hear the high pitched turbo sound hissing getting more and more aggressive
the speed will stay the same , mileage pr gallon will go down , but you go steady up that hill
and far better fuel efficiency than a sucking diesel would have , especially going uphill
the energy for the turbo is not free . you did pay for it at the gas station
but , most of it you would have blown out the pipe anyway
it WIIL give backpressure but the gain is much higher than the loss
inter cooler just cools the air before the charging
thereby shrinking it
that means the charging pressure dosnt haver to be so high to get the same amount of air molecules into the cylinder
again it take the energy from the engine , but again the gain is much higher than the loss
take any truck for road freight
its build for best fuel to miles
they all have turbo and inter coolers

my mother have a SMALL Toyota it has both turbo and intercooler
its so normal that its not mentioned
because making one without would be a sure giveaway that the maker was braindead
my friend has a Scoda SuperB it has a Audi/WV engine
again with both turbo and intecooler
on a flat road it drives 30 km pr liter at 90 km /hour
try that with a sucking engine
edit
this is a 2007 version
but they do look much the same
at 130 km/hour it drives 16,6 km Pr liter

Are you saying that if all turbocharged engines just had open-ambient air kits w/zero restriction and free-flow exhaust they would get higher MPG?
Turbochargers increase an internal combustion engines volumetric efficiency, many people commonly mislabel as thermal efficiency, period.. the end. If you don't get it, you may be the only person alive that doesn't.
Re: Young/Goodwin/Kruger Auto X-prize team confirm HHO gas!
Soo how do you think a non turbo diesel gets its air,,,, for free,,,that is
is it just falling in there
i might be wrong
but i really think its suckt in there
the energy for this sucking devise comes from the engine not free at all
then in a turbo you just ad a little help , again the energy comes from the engine
no matter what you say , a turbo make s the engine more efficient
the non turbo was just a bad one
next the turbo might help the gasses to get out of the cylinder
its spinning . therefor its sucking the gas out of the cylinder at the same time as the piston is pushing it out
think of it like you are pushing a shopping cart hard away from you , but holding on to it , it will pull you with the force you gave it
same goes for a two stroke engine
the moving gas in the pipe is pulling the gas out of the cylinder
that why a two stroke is not working right WITHOUT a pipe
same goes for pulse jet and and and
