Stirling Engines, Torpedo Technology and Radial Engine Inefficiency
The Stirling engine, invented in 1796, is highlighted as a highly efficient alternative that the oil industry has historically avoided due to its lack of complex moving parts and fuel versatility. Price notes that advanced turbine and exotic fuel technologies used in 19th-century torpedoes were never applied to the civilian automotive or aviation industries. Instead, the public was given inefficient radial engines and rotary designs that maximized fuel consumption.
