Brian, what car you referring to when you said use a turbine generator? It would be nice heck yah, but it would be loud. Regular piston generators can be had for a few grand for a 15kW unit, for my little car project this would be perfect, providing the highway cruising power is the calculated 8kW. These generators are quite efficient, and can run 100% continuously.
