Did you even absorb what DueProcessFan had to say? The technology had operational down-sides, which would have prevented widespread customer acceptance. Just because something is nifty does not mean it is good for service. Chrysler continued development into the 1970s, but was unable to eliminate the thorniest problems. The closest we get to it is the turbocharged engine, which is a hybrid of a turbine engine and a piston engine. The piston engine is inserted in place of the turbine combustor. This was done commonly in military aircraft from World War II to the complete replacement of piston engines by turbine engines.
And yet it was good enough for military applications. They don’t want us to have such high efficiency technology because then we’d be less dependent on the gas they happily charge us a fortune for.
