High Speed Steam Powered Car

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the sure-why-not dept.

CodeWanker wrote in to tell us about a story about new steam powered vehicles that are aiming to set speed records. The car is kind of goofy looking, but more eco friendly (which works for the Prius ;) Don't expect to see anything like this at your local dealer any time soon tho.

    Does the manual will indicate which lever is the velocitator and which the deceleratrix?

    Plus the one thing that people do not think about on electric and hybrids is the batteries. They are a nightmare to dispose or recycle.

    You're telling me! My car runs on 9,624 AA alkaline batteries. They only last about 30 miles, and when they conk out I have to use up the ones on my second car just to drive them to the dump...
