Economical car with an engine from a lawnmower

 



Super saver, the project presented to the public American students. Development of students of the University Brigham young in Utah, maybe cross the country, having the tank only four litres of fuel! The car resembles the shape of a fish. It weighs only 45 kg. But most importantly its economy.

The principle of operation of such a strange transportation – acceleration, then slide on the reel. His tank is so small that you can fit 20 grams of gasoline. In the design used was a small engine from lawn mowers. The engine is only needed for overclocking, then the vehicle itself glides on the highway.

This landfall is not used for these journeys. He takes part in specialized competitions where fighting is the most economical machine. But the environmental effect of such cars on the road are obvious. Humanity will benefit if these devices become popular and in demand.

Students are not resting on our laurels. They plan to create an even lighter model, which fuel will save even more. Idea modification – improvement of engine electronics.

Competition fuel-efficient cars are held in the US each year. According to experts, the BYU team is the main contender for the victory. Developments that will be able to compete with them seriously, not yet. Last year this team took second place with a score of 1826 km in 4 years, but this time their development will overcome the same amount of fuel 3218 km.
