Bamboo-made Electric Car And Car Runs Mostly on Air
November 4, 2008
BamGoo, is a 60 kg single-seat car developed by the city and Kyoto University. The seat is made of bamboo. The car can run for 50 kilometers (30) miles on single charge. This ecologically-friendly concept car was displayed in Kyoto city, Sunday, November 2, 2008.
How about the aerodynamic issue? And would it have kind of whistling sound? I mean there are many holes theres, between the bamboo strap, and if it is driven against wind, there could be sound. Well, this is just a concept car. Maybe they will come up with a innovative idea.
Other than that, there is also a revolutionary environmentally friendly car build by a carmaker (Developer Zero Pollution Motors). It run mostly on air and splash of salad oil, alcohol. The price is $20,000 and will be released on 2011. This is a good sign for better environment in the near future.
Magnetic Air Car, Future Car?
October 2, 2008
Magnetic Air Cars, Inc., a San Jose-based company show the world’s first fuel-less car in West Coast Green, a conference about environment matter.
The magnetic air car will use three on-board substations to harness compressed air. The car also uses a silicon salt battery that can be charged completely within an hour. This battery can be 95% recycled and can be used in a temperature range from -40 degrees Celcius to 50 degree Celcius.
Sadly though, the magnetic air car will be ready for production by 2010. Just wait and see how good this car would be. Go green!!!
Massa Accident in Singapore
September 29, 2008
Have you watched that first Night Grand Prix in Singapore? Exciting race, heh? However, that was not the day for Felipe Massa (Ferrari). An accident had happened involving this Brazilian racer, in which the fuel hose was still attached to his car when he was about to leave the pit stop. Even worst for him, he only finished in 13th position.
Fernando Alonso (Renault) won his first race this year in this game, Nico Rosberg (Williams) is in the second position and Lewis Hamilton (McLaren-Mercedes) is in the third position. Kimi Raikkonen (Ferrari), the defending champion, also faced bad race last Sunday. He failed to finish the race because his car rammed the barriers with just four laps left.
The next grand prix will be held in Fuji, Japan on October 12, 2008. Hardly can wait, the competition is getting hot.
Lamborghini, Not so cool?
September 20, 2008
Famous people always use Lamborghini to show their coolness (yes, you can see it in MTV television program). Do you know that “only” 2580 Lamborghini cars were sold at 2007? Some of the cars were also modified into police patroli car. Cool heh? Car chasing action would be so great and breath-takingly exciting if you watched in television.
Now, imagine yourself as a big-boned person. Wouldn’t it be cool if you can also ride a Lamborghini car? Take your time to think about it. [Full Story]
