"It's like an old charcoal stove. Coffee heats up as charcoal. Then the combustion gases, which are generally carbon dioxide and water vapor, carbon less heat to carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The gas is then filtered by the cyclone filter and rock wool filter and cooled by radiator, "he said as quoted by the Daily Mail on Saturday (01/10/2011).
As fuel prices soar more and more. Innovation search for alternative fuels continues to be done by aggressively. And most recently, now it turns out the coffee dregs can be reprocessed and converted into vehicle fuel.
British researchers recently succeeded in building a car capable of running with the backing power of coffee. This car even managed to break the world record for organic waste-powered cars.
Cars are built from this modification is Rover SD1 scored a record at Elvington near York Race Track, England when he ran up to the speed of 107 km / hour. This figure is destroying the previous record held by an American team has ever built of wood pulp-fueled cars that can run up to 75.6 km / hr.
To make this car, along with engineer of Martin Bacon Teesdale Conservation Volunteers of Durham expose an old car for later reassembled and given a 'gasifier' and filters, which were able to converse coffee grounds into energy to drive the machine.
The car was later to travel from London to Manchester in March last year and direct entry into the Guinness Book of Records because there are no waste-powered cars have to travel far before.
Last week, the car was again demonstrated its ability to run and re-record. This car also appeared in tv shows Bang Goes The Theory.
Presenter Bang Goes The Theory says that the workings of the kitchen runway this car shows a lot of alternatives that could be used for machines that usually spend on fossil fuels.
