Jetcar 2.5 – Fuel efficient automobile

Ironically racing cars with a terrible mileage are called jet cars. What I am writing about today is a new kind of car where the recent model (Jetcar 2.5) consumes only 2.5 liter of fuel per 100 km. That’s around 1 gallone per 100 miles. It is a hand-built and custom made car from a German company called Jetcar Zukunftsfahrzeug GmbH.

I first read about this company and its products in an article (German) in my favorite daily newspaper. Two brothers are running the company. They also own a company which does wind energy solutions which cross finances the Jetcar company. What a smart move!

Their engineers are already working on a convertible and the Jetcar 1.5 which will only need 1.5 liter per 100 km.

Anaconda Wave Energy Converter

Our oceans are constantly generating energy – as much as 2 trillion watt! But how do we profit from this energy? The British company Checkmate SeaEnergy has developed a study of a 110 ton rubber tube called Anaconda with a length of 200 meter which can produce as much as 1 megawatt electric energy.
