These new energy vehicles actually use coffee / salt water / vegetables as fuel.

Finding alternative energy sources is undoubtedly a constant topic in the development of automotive technology. Now that electric cars are gaining popularity, there are actually many new fuels to be discovered that may be beyond your imagination, such as caffeine, vegetable oil, salt water and even human and animal waste. Here, let's take a look at the current 6 wonderful new energy vehicles:

Salt water powered sports car

These new energy vehicles actually use coffee/salt water/vegetables as fuel

Developed by Nanoflowcell, this sports car uses a special fuel based on salt water to solve the problem that electric cars often need to be recharged. In addition, its performance is also very strong, it can accelerate to 99.8 km/h in 2.8 seconds.

Coffee powered cars

Called the Carpuccino, the car is a modified version of a 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco. The wonder of it is that it can use hydrogen and carbon monoxide produced when cooking coffee as fuel and can reach speeds of 97 km/h. However, it does not directly use coffee grounds as power, you need to brew coffee all the time, 56 cups of espresso to travel 1.6 kilometers, the cost is too high.

Toilet motorcycle

Toto from Japan is famous for making bathroom products, and interestingly, they also want to make the products come out of the bathroom. For example, this toilet motorcycle, the seat is a Toto seat, can convert excrement into biogas as power, 250cc biogas can provide about 290 kilometers of endurance. Biogas power is obviously a concern, but presumably no one wants to drive near the toilet.

Vegetable-powered supercars

WorldFirst F3 is a racing car developed by Warwick Innovation Manufacturing Research Center, which can achieve a speed of 201 km/h. What's more interesting is that its body is made of potatoes, soybeans and carrots, and it uses chocolate and vegetable oil as power. It can be said to be a real "green car". However, individuals are concerned about its impact resistance.

Aerodynamic Lego cars

Car enthusiasts Steve Sammartino and Raul Oaida launched a crowdfunding campaign to build a car with 500,000 Legos and some load-bearing parts, and a built-in 256-piston power engine that uses air to generate power at speeds of up to 32 km/h.

Algae-powered cars

The world's first algae-powered hybrid electric car, named the Algaeus after a Toyota Prius, debuted in San Francisco in 2009. Using just 25 gallons of algal fuel, Algaeus could power a drive from city to coast, but because algal fuel is more expensive than gasoline, it doesn't seem to be getting any further.
