Thats a good question, have to go do some searching on that.

Yep. Two problems.

1. French Engineering (think "Exploding Peugot" and "Le Car").

2. 10,000PSI or some absurd number. Look at it wrong and it explodes, taking half a city block with it.

I know, we made the mistake of owning a few French cars ~10 years back. One had automatically adjusting suspension. The car was parked in a place where there was a small slope. There were no people in the car, the handbrake was set by a female (so she hadn't pulled it very hard). The handbrake held until the machine decided to raise its rear suspension...
Another one of those death machines decided to literally drop its gearbox in middle of a busy intersection.
Mind you that both of these cars were less than two years old when those things happened

Power and not so high fuel consumption are not anymore really exclusive nowadays. We have a BMW M5 and you can drive that car with a consumption of less than 10l/100Km.
Now I've not managed that with my 75PS Renault 9....

What's today even more important is a clever traffic management and here you can see how full of lies those "pretending to be environmentalists" really are (at least in Germany): in every city where they're part of the legislation there's a fully contraprodutive traffic management done, like 30Km/h zones everywhere, having traffic lights ever changing to red on a straight street when you just drove off of a green light, or even better, having traffic lights every 10 or 20 meters - and of course the front one switching to red when the prior one switches green so the traffic can go exactly the 10 meters till the next light in spite of the back one showing green - then having the back one switching to red and the front one to green at once so that only the two or three cars that fit into the small area between the traffic lights can go on,.....
Additional such dumb examples of greenish traffic policy like the excessive use of one-way routes can be easily seen by anyone that at least tried to keep a small bit of a working brain.

So what we need in Germany is actually more the socialist/"environmentalists" Governments showing some maturity and not causing further damage to the environment by their stupid traffic policy., that surely costs the average driver at least 2l/100Km and even the "advanced" driver at least 1l/100km fuel consumption with an average car.

hahah..


i glanced at tempests avatar.. and the text under etc. and i made a mistake and thought it said (Location: Your mother) haha i was like. wtf haha?


oh my.. lol.

I think you're going insane... But as a first aid you could really try getting some of that sleep thing people keep going on about (unless you're at work, of course).

"Location: Your mother"? Phew, wouldn't that be a little rude?

If Liz don't think you need sleep then maybe she better read this.

But didn't we have a link on this forum to some french-invented car that runs on air (or something like that) ?

https://www.zeropollution.com

That is the link to the manufacturer of the car.

My uncle explained to me why and how it works.

At the bottom of the stroke, where traditionally a gasoline mist is intjected and a spark ingnited, compressed liquid air is injected, instantaneously turning into a gas, and, in the process, pushing up the piston.

As for the problem of exploding fuel tanks, that is solved by using a glass-plastic polymer that would leak slowly rather than explode if punctured....

Hey thats cool, but seriously would anyone drive something that looks like that?

lol

Change all the gas powered engines over to hydrogen. Its actually pretty simple, and with few modifications to the carburator, like changing over to propane. Using water, split it into hydrogen and oxygen. Use the Hydrogen for fuel and release the oxygen back into the air. Kill two birds with one stone, no more energy problem and we replace the oxygen that we need so bad.

[mutz]

...BMW has had a hydrogen car for some time now. There others that run on vegetable oil.

[Hati]

there's a fully contraprodutive traffic management done, like 30Km/h zones everywhere

Hi Indiana,
in the town I am living there are even 20 km/h zones. As there are a lot of radar controls frequently the only reason for this is very obvious : make a lot of money because about 80% of the people will not be driving at 20 km/h of course.
Really sad

The thing with oil is its the WORST fuel to use, maybe to cook a hamburger in its good, but as far as an effecient fuel source, water is the only way.

[Wombat]

Riiiiiiiiiiight. Learn some chemistry, rather than waste your time babbling.

[Liquid Memory]

Excuse me, have you heard of cold fusion, splitting the water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen. Use the Hydrogen for fuel, and release the oxygen back into the atmosphere where it is needed most.
