FORD VEHICLE BY LANGFORD PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING LTD. In June 2009, a Capstone Model C30 liquid fueled microturbine was successfully integrated into a Ford S-Max people carrier in the United Kingdom. Langford Performance Engineering, headquartered in Wellingborough, England, designed and modified the Ford S-Max seven seat crossover vehicle into a series hybrid plug in vehicle with a C30 under the hood as an electric range extender. Langford reports that the “Whisper Eco-Logic” car gets up to 80 miles per gallon in early stage demonstration testing. The design characteristics of Capstone’s turbine permits ultra-low emissions, high-fuel economy, multi-fuel capability, no coolants or lubricating oil, and little to no maintenance in hybrid electric vehicle applications. The Whisper Eco-Logic vehicle is a plug in electric car with an on board turbine generator to keep the batteries charged and extend the range of the car beyond that of a typical electric vehicle. This sets it apart from the hybrids now available such as the Lexus and The “Whisper” Ford-S Max car with an integrated Capstone C30 microturbine. Toyota which use conventional 4 stroke engines to provide both vehicle drive and battery charging. In early demonstration testing the car achieved up to 80 miles per gallon and traveled 40 miles on electric power before the Capstone turbine generator started up and charged the lithium ion batteries. Langford did an exceptional job integrating the turbine, power electronics and batteries into the vehicle without impacting any of the seven seats or increasing the overall vehicle weight. HYBRID ELECTRIC VEHICLES Capstone’s C30 microturbines operate in conjunction with the on-board battery pack to provide continuous electrical power to transit buses and cars.
