World's Fastest Car Fuel Coffee

A group of British engineers have succeeded in utilizing waste coffee drinks as car fuel. Remarkably, the car managed to break the world record as the fastest vehicle.

As reported by caradvice, Tuesday, September 27, 2011, car-fueled second-generation coffee (Coffee Car Mk2) were recorded break the Guinness World Record for fuel-fueled cars fastest organic waste.

This car is capable of racing up to 124.7 km / h with an average speed of 107.0 km / hr. The previous record was held by the U.S. team with car fuel wood, Beaver XR7 which reaches 76.8 km / hr.

The engineers were using a device called a gasifier to boil the coffee up to temperature of 700 degrees Celsius. That process produces a synthetic gas composed of methane monoxide, hydrogen, and carbon gases.

All three gases were then generate pressures up to 150 Psi, and channeled into the engine manifold. The result is a car capable of reaching the speed of 124.7 km / hour.

The engineers deliberately change the look of the Rover SD1 saloon interior six-cylinder engine. Part cabin overhauled to place a device gasifier and various supporting devices which total weight reached 250 pounds.

While the idea of ​​the utilization of coffee grounds into a fuel derived from the host, Jem Stansfield. He watched a lot of coffee dregs or waste is wasted from a coffee shop. Seeing the fact that the idea to use waste as a fuel direct car landed on his mind.

The idea was then applied on the VW Scirocco VW's and be named "Car-puccino". Guinness record, the car takes 56 espresso to walk a mile or 1.6 kilometers.

However, VW Scirocco is not listed as a car with a top speed, but as an organic waste-fueled car that is able to travel long distances, from London to Menchester as far as 337 kilometers.
