A British backhoe manufacturer takes its new engine to an unlikely work site: Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1178038758.jpg Past owners of the notoriously wheezy diesel Rabbit will find it hard to believe, but this blurry streak is also powered by a four-cylinder diesel. Two of them, actually: one for the front wheels and one for the rear. Built for use in front-loaders and forklifts, the 4.4-liter engines were specially tuned to 750 horsepower each by U.K. construction-equipment company JCB as part of an effort to set a new speed record for a diesel-powered car. It paid off. On August 23, Andy Green—holder of the current overall land-speed record of 763 mph—piloted the svelte, ice-cooled machine to a new record in the Utah desert, averaging 350 mph in two 11-mile runs. |
Powered by vegetable oil and animal fat, a sleek new boat aims to circumnavigate the globe in record time.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1178038922.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1178038951.jpg New Zealand engineer Pete Bethune had a grand plan: Bring attention to the potential of biodiesel by building an innovative powerboat capable of setting an overall speed record for world circumnavigation. And he had a gruesomely flamboyant first step: Suck fat out of his own body to provide some of the fuel. Unfortunately, the quarter of a pound Bethune had lipoed created only enough biodiesel to power his one-of-a-kind boat, christened Earthrace, about 300 feet. To make the trip around the world, the 78-foot tri-hull will need 35,000 gallons of fuel (at its cruising speed of 15 to 25 knots, it gets about a mile a gallon). If all goes as planned, Bethune will raise the remaining $400,000 he needs to fund the voyage by March and set off on his 65-day quest. “I look forward to getting on the water,” Bethune says, “and proving to the world that renewable fuels are synonymous with power and performance. The biodiesel-fueled boat has a triple-hull design that allows it to pierce 50-foot waves.” |
