Man makes car superzuinig, the internet is going crazy

Since the early days of the automobile claim inventors already amazing discoveries with regard to the extreme low of the internal combustion engine. Our archive of alternative motortechnieken with superbeloftes space is running over, but we always have place for do-it-yourselfers who claim their car even more economical. In this case, with the help of gasoline fumes.

Joshua Lineberry, the do-it-yourselfer in matter, is a hillbilly from the U.S. (his words, not ours) and the story picked up things about how someone has a lawn mower seven days left to run by gasoline in the fuel tank first to evaporate before the engine disappeared. “Egg of Columbus!”, must be the hillbilly have thought, because he decided the same trick to apply on his roughly 20-year-old pickup and in the video capture. A video that has since pretty viral.

The method he used is as simple as it is dangerous. He makes sure that the engine does not fuel more supplied via the fuel line by the relay of the fuel pump to remove it. The necessary fuel is then delivered via a jerry can under the hood, with three hoses running to the outside stitches. On the other side of the container, there are a number of hoses that are connected to the air filter. By the sucking operation of the engine, bubbles in the container, and gasoline vapor with the intake air. Gasoline vapor which is then in the combustion chamber to explode and the engine running.

Lineberry claims that he already had a piece of the car was driving and that it works fine, and then he in the video out loud wondering why we all still pay too much for gasoline. He also reports that known him to be a consumption of 200 mpg, or 1.2 litres per 100 kilometres, scored with this hillbilly-verdamptrucje.

What Lineberry, however, forget to report is that the energy of a puff of air and a few microdruppels gasoline is much lower. You get on here seriously little power. It is, perhaps, more fuel efficient, but, in fact, if you squeeze just the engine gigantic. In addition, the sucked in gasoline fumes are so volatile like the plague, giving you a huge ontploffingsrisico creates under your hood. Otherwise we would be directly hydrogen in our ICE’s pumps. In addition this trick also don’t work in a car with an ECU and many sensors. Also has Lineberry the air filter element removed.

Anyway, we can go on and on why you will NEVER own a jerry can of fuel on your luchtfilterhuis to connect, but that let to you. The massively shared videos of Lineberry’s experiment can be found on Autojunk.nl
