Also, diesel locomotives are actually electric trains. The diesel drives a generator which supplies power to the wheels. I'm asserting this should be the practice, even for automobiles. Looking for venture capital. My first would be a commuter car powered by a 3-cyl diesel which in turn generates electricity to direct drive DC motors at the wheels.
