We've long established that cars should run on fossil fuels, but as our resources are getting depleted, people are starting to change their views. Some are turning to electricity, while others just want to see the world burn… on coffee.
Seems like humans are not the only ones to be powered in the morning by the brown roasted beans, now cars work on that too, though without the cream and sugar. A modified Ford P100 utility wagon hit a verified top speed of 105.4 km/h (65.5 mph) on an airport in UK, a record that's been officially recognized by Guiness.
WeMartin Bacon (bacon and coffee anyone?) and his team didn’t actually filled it’s tank with hot coffee and go. They followed a much more complex process called gasification. The pellets made from the chaff that comes off of coffee beans during the roasting process are heated and broken down into carbon monoxide and hydrogen. After cooling and filtering the resulted hydrogen gas, it’s fed into the internal combustion engine. And the process doesn’t work only for coffee. It works on about any carbon-based substance on the same principle
Martin Bacon, said that the car can make about 88 km (55 miles) on a 10 kg (22 pound) bag of pellets.
