HP2g 110MPG V8 Engine Technology for Revenge Verde Super Car Shown at NAIAS 2010

I have to admit this is a really smart design, now they should change the spark plugs into smarter ones and use a hydro booter to get maybe around 150mpg for the same performance or better, and dont forget that nitro to grab that quick 500hp boost

The oil companies are standing in line to invest in a project that will put them out of business....not !

v8 is a joke compare to v12

[TriangularFilms]

@carbonamigo

A little FYI, a v8 can put out just as much horsepower as a v12 with proper mods and parts. Its all how you build the engine up.

[tsunayoshi987]

@TriangularFilms

this is not techicvally true the energy to weight ratio is just more effective with a v8 engine, however fuel/gas can not produce enought power to push a v12 however the more cylinders you have the more potential you will always beable to create however once you start hitting v10 the engine starts to neead a large amount of fuel just to move the vehicle, this is the only reason why v8 engines can out perform many v10s

[TriangularFilms]

@tsunayoshi987

Gasoline can produce enough power to push a v12? Are you joking?

It wouldn't matter if it was a v-16 or a v-18, gasoline can always push them.

Get the weight of the Crank, and the pistons, the length of the rods, thats how you determine.

The size of the fuel injection or carburetor falls into play as well.

[tsunayoshi987]

@TriangularFilms

Im not saying that gas cant push a v12 engine, you could push a v24 engine for all anyone cares, but the point is that a v8 can perform just as well, with the kw/d+weight ratio becasue the whole purpose of this is to increase milege for a better future, If you decide to use a larger engine it nearly negates the purpose of getting better milege, v8 would be the limit for the size because its more practical

@carbonamigo

V8 vs V12 CID per cylinders = V12 is a joke!

[HydrogenMechanic]

i'd like to have one engine to go, how much?

[vdubz]

@kkyt543

Provide proof of this please. Im thinking its too good to be true and this could be the reasoning. You seem pretty sure of yourself so I'd like to believe you.

[KingWilliamMB]

Horrable voice ... :C

The engine was originally tested for 22000 miles in a 1987 Mustang and averaged 110mpg. That's where they get the figure from...

[PirateXJ]

@superleggeravw they can input all the factors into the equation to find out how much it would get. like air resistance inertia rolling resistance etc. then you would be able to calculate how much the engine could over come using a certain amount of fuel.

[SuperleggeraVW]

How can you give mpg numbers for an engine?

You can only have economy numbers like gallon per hour. Just an engine will do zero mpg, as just an engine can not move.

You have to put it in a car to get mpg numbers....

[waterfordjim]

I wonder if it will run on buckets of DIARRHEA that I stockpile in my bathroom. If that is indeed the case, this thing will get truly shitty mileage. :-)

[pbarnwell]

No will not run on regular pump gas, according to Doug the developer only on E85 . Personally I believe it runs mainly on HOT AIR,,,,,

[jakksincorpse]

@pbarnwell i believe you should keep your skeptical bs to yourself because obviously the motor has been tested inside a car, a freaking mustang for that matter, that weighs almost 1000lbs more than most of these little jap ricers that get good mpg and completely obliterated them in mpg. so how bout you design one of these and show us how well your "hot air" motor works=]

[tsunayoshi987]

@jakksincorpse

dude not cool, all cars have good and bad, but clearly both you guys dont understand the physics behind any kind of car, weight reduction isnt the only thing that comes into play in the engines performance.

[joe735]

heres something i forgot to ask. Will it run on regular 87-93 pump gas? I dont see too many stations with E-85, at least not that ive noticed.

[somesillysap]

Theyll be everywhere there before you know it.

Stations that sell E-85 have sprung up everywhere in no time here in Australia.

They first started selling it here in November 97 and now its available at maybe 1 in 4 gas stations. If you owned a car that ran on it you'd soon find locations.. We run it in our race cars as it runs so much cooler and you dont get the detonation you do with regular gas.
