Worlds oil problems solved by the french

[Czar]

Not bad looking, btw, there are 100p in a pound, so just convert 1/10th of a pound to dollars.

The inventor is Guy Negre, a French motor vehicle engineer and former Formula One engine designer. He has apparently received death threats because of the invention, which could cripple the world?s oil industry.

We better safe him, wouldnt want him to die now.

"Then you can install an air pump or something that'll continuously fill the tank while you're driving.

Never need a refill..."

Whenever you build this perpetual motion machine, let me know.

What will the car cost.
What will the yearly maintenance cost.
How long will it take to recharge the tank.
How much electricity will it take to recharge the tank.
How much will the car weigh.
How many miles will the car travel in stop-and-go traffic.
What accessories will the car have and what will power them.

You should have read the article nick stone. To answer your questions:

65,000 R (whatever they are equal to...)
Dunno
4 hours on a regular socket, 3 min in a special recharge station
3 minutes only so much power a car can suck up
700 kg
200 km
I dunno

I read the story in the link -- all 113 words. Same words that Czar quoted in the 1st thread.

Other than the price = 6,700 English? pounds or approx. $11,000 USA dollars, where are you getting the rest of this information?

If electricity were free, the world would have lots of new inventions.

Over here, we measure electricity usage in Killowatt/Hours. A killowatt/Hour costs about $.07 or $.08 Wholesale. We can burn a 100 Watt light light bulb for 8 hours for $.08. So what we need to know is what would it cost per mile for electricity to drive this car?

Thanks for the input dabanshee.

nick There was a better link in one of the posts below it even had a picture of the thing

Again, from dabanshee Car

Sorry
I guess I missed the other link.
The article says it will cost 1c/km to opperate. Is 1c a South African monetary unit? or French?
In order to establish a nitch in the US market, I think this car would have to get about --
50 to 60 miles/gallon USA equivilent or
36 to 43 miles/US dollar or
58 to 69 km/US dollar or
41 to 48 km/British Pound

You have to remember that this car would have very limited accessories,
Would have poor acceleration, and would have many of the same limitations that natural gas, propane or electric cars have would have when it comes to service facilities.

The car would be a good option for cars in the city. Where range isn't necessarily as important as out in the country. However if you limit yourself to poor range and poor acceleration, we already have a few winners there. My money is still on a lightweight fuel cell of some type plus other energy saving features (e.g. regenerative breaking etc.).
