Like You This Car Runs On Coffee!

Engineer Martin Bacon and Teesdale Conservation Volunteers of Durham have a bit of an odd goal in life... they wish to take a 'cup of joe' and use it as fuel to not only power a car, but to break a world record!

After stripping the insides of the car they put in a soup-up or we should say 'coffee'd-up' engine. The engine is actually a 'gasifier' that filters the waste granules from the coffee into energy. The coffee is broken down and goes through a process where carbon and steam produce carbon carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Here's a video on how the whole 'this car runs on coffee' works from the car maker...

And here's them breaking a world record by hitting a speed of 66.5 mph!



That amazing!
But we bet we could out run that car with the same amount of coffee.
