Sahimo Hydrogen Vehicle Gets Over 1,300 mpg

Posted by kdawson on from the see-it-to-believe-it dept.

Mike writes "Students from Turkey's Sakarya University have unveiled a remarkable attempt at creating Europe's most fuel-efficient vehicle. Dubbed the Sahimo, their pint-sized hydrogen car is cable of eking out an incredible 568 km on 1 liter of fuel (about 1,336 miles per gallon). An aerodynamic carbon-fiber construction keeps the vehicle's weight down to less than 110 kg (243 lbs), and the designers hope to push the Sahimo's performance even further to a full 1,000 km per 1 liter of fuel before participating in the Global Green Challenge in October."

      Einstein, Newton, Hawking and Slashdot once competed to see who could produce the most brilliant physics paper. Slashdot's paper said only "imagine a beowulf cluster of portman's hot grits. first post". On the way back Hawking gave Slashdot a wedgie. Natalie Portman watched and laughed and then her and Hawking went home together. As she left Portman made a point of showing Slashdot a bag of grits.

  2. Blast! This tech has been known since 1970's. by NRAdude · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    References: Alex Schiffer, Paul Phantone and "Joe's" JoeCell, Stan Mayer, et al. They have been teaching this for years, to run any alleged inefficient big American or Australian big-block combustion enine on atomic gasses Hydrogen and Oxgen (HHO) derived from over-efficient Water Electrolysis and "negatively charged Water."

    Please kick Toyota and all the other corporations that try to put their patents on already public-domain materials that have already been disclosed.

    As early as the 1st steam engine was this forked from, and as early as World War 2 did the German Nazi tank commanders supplement their diesel tanks with atomic 1-part Hydrogen gas and 2-parts Oxygen gas (HHO) derived from water.

    I've been actively using this technology since 2002, a HHO torch to replace my Oxy-Acetylene torch. Many that I know have been running their cars off this technology in HHO cells, depending on the effeciency of their assembly as a complement to an **-Octane Petrol from the pump or as is to a governor to mix with atmosphere to not race the engine.

    It's all over YouTube, it's on OUPOWER.COM, it's everywhere.

    Please, whatever anyone does, don't buy into the nonsense that you need to buy a new car and a new car engine just to run this stuff.

    Kick out the corporations marketing this technology, because they are only here to fleece the public with the illusion that it is a faint and delicate fuel that needs to be harnassed with hand-tools and technicians outside the ordinary and only they may certify.

    If GM and Chrysler is going down, and possibly Ford next, then please kick all the imports out of the states.
