this is a really cool car, but why do i get the idea that the people in this video dont know a thing about working on it, or any other car? "Think! McFly, Think."
Those "original" Fords that he claims got 20 MPG had a top speed of 45 miles an hour. If everything was tuned perfectly, you could get 20 MPG cruising along at 25-30 miles an hour, if you could find a road back then that you couldu maintain such a speed. There is a good reason that the Model T's are nothing more than a novelty at a car show these days -- they were just not competent to drive on the roads today.
Yes, this car is well documented, Shell engineers had contests with each other, this is the result, then it was put on the shelf. I guess it doesn't have a carb, the gas is vaporized and fed into the engine and the tank is wired for heat, but the gas probably is ultra pure with no additives.
If anyone is interested in seeing a truck run on vapors from gasoline, just type "Molecular Chamber" in the you tube search bar. Bill has been driving his truck for about 25 years with his vapor chamber. Basically, he heats a Calrod heater up to 600 F. and sprays a fine mist of liquid gasoline onto the hot metal surface area. The gasoline turns white as it combines with oxygen. I'm building my first system now and I'll make video's showing every aspect of it's function. More power and mpg.
Looked up Shell Eco Marathon on wiki and on shell's website...its real and still going on, but its not we hope. The cars only go 15mph, on flat track, accelerate to 20mph then turn off engine & coast till they drop to 10mph, accelerate again, average of 15mph. They can NOT climb hills, cant pass a kid on a bicycle, and cant carry so much as a grocery bag of cargo. And my winter coat has more crash protection. as of 2011 they are commonly getting 500mph+. Wow. But it has zero practical use. ZERO!
@nsofast he don't need to prove any so-called outrageous claims. shell already proved in 1973 that vaporizing gasoline leads to tremendous fuel efficiency. its called the Eco-marathon look it up and look at past winners. I'm pretty sure that they would of never gave the prize to this car if it was a hoax. the problem is that they never proceeded in mass marketing this technology for some crazy reason. next time, you do a little research before calling someone out.
it's funny how when i go to the link in the video - NONE of the buttons work... i can't click on ANYTHING!!!!!! Dear America: WISE UP!!!! This technology is out there! why do you think it keeps getting covered up? money, greed, pride, and power
Much higher mpg and much lower pollution is possible, it´s only a matter of leaving behind heavy, clumsy cars, we´re not in 1930 anymore, when the only way to make 75 mph was with a v-8. (and when air was clean and fuel inexpensive, today it is exactly the opposite) Start thinking as if you lived in 2012, not 1912. I like the video because it shows a bit of concern for things we must be concerned about.
He wasn't the first or the last....Watch Gashole. one man gets 100mpg out of his 1946 Buick Roadmaster that weighs the same as an H2...and another 100MPG out of his 1970's Big Block V8....etc, etc...I wonder what my 50mpg 1.0L metro could get with their Vapor Carb?
@VRJensen1 Gas Hole was such an informative 2010 Documentary. I also have a 1 Liter 3cylinder engine in my 2000 Honda Insight. I'm working on a system which will vaporize the gasoline- and I'm very interested in what the results will be. I've design a system that will utilize the original fuel injection system- which is multi port(3 injectors), I will heat the fuel to 400 Degrees F to achieve complete vaporization, and use a air pressure regulator to reduce the psi to about 1psi.
@VRJensen1 Gashole is the most half assed "documentary". They take third hand information as gospel and do no research of their own. And if you're so confident in these vapor carbs then put your money where your mouth is and BUY ONE. There's no conspiracy, there are plenty of scam arti... I mean, sellers online.
What an idiot. The shell marathon is still going and there are cars that get thousands of miles per galon, but they're driving slower than my 10 year old niece can peddle her bicycle uphill. If he's not selling something then he's working for someone who is.
@dick117 this car weighs 2500 lbs and gets 376mpg. My car weighs a lot less and gets upper 40's...he's got a very valid point....and comparing his rhetoric to Your's I'd say it sound more like you're the one who is working for someone who is selling something...Big Oil?
@VRJensen1 Right, I'm working for "Big Oil" the same way the laws of thermodynamics are and all the engineers/scientists that are confined by them. The ICE is 30% efficient. 70% goes to heat and friction in the engine/drive train. And you realize Shell is an oil company, right? Drop your car til it's 3 inches of the ground and drive under 15 mph on perfectly flat roads with NO TURNS and you'll see big mpg gains as well. Trust me, men in black suits won't come knocking on your door.
Continued: if anyone would like to build their own version of a variation of this high efficiency technology- simply google search GEET Reactor(Global Environmental Energy Technology) the plans to build a small system is free. Millions of people all over the world are building their own vapor systems, everyday.
This car weighs 2500 pounds and achieves over 350 miles per gallon by turning the liquid gasoline into it's vaporized state(heated to at least 302 degrees Fahrenheit) possibly by way of the exhaust system heat. My 2000 Honda insight weighing in at 1800 pounds and a lean burn 1 liter 3cylinder engine should do quite well with vaporized fuel.
@andre1dre you would not drive that piece of crap, i've seen these "ultra high milage cars" on test tracks, they shut the engines off and coast around a flat track all day at 5 miles per hour...good luck driving up a hill, the car can't do it.
You did a little research? The car is not that special? Well then fix that thing and prove your outrageous claims. The fact that people take this stuff at face value just blows me away.Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence people.
"Oh I have this amazing car with technology that would make me millions and solve the gas crisis but I am just gonna let it sit here in this garage..."
@nsofast "Featured in the Guinness Book of World Records as well as many publications" This car is a well documented case. It's not some wild claim someone dreamed up.
It's just a fuel vaporizer invented by Tom Ogle in 1977 getting over 100 mpg in a 4400lb car. He sold the design to Shell oil company hoping they would improve it but Shell had other plans such as locking the idea away to keep gas demand high. Look it up.
looks like the air intake is heated and the fuel is injected into that hot air stream. i would like to know how that carburetor is put together. it looks like a fire hose.
When has mythbusters ever been wrong?? If they got something wrong I am sure they would own up to it.They and snopes always get it right because they only pick the low hanging fruit. If you believe something that got called out by either MB or snopes, odds are you are a crackpot.
@nsofast I don't think they've ever been "wrong," but they have seriously half-assed it on several occasions. The shattering hammers myth comes to mind. They do pick rather low hanging fruit though.
MOTHER BITCH!! I'm still skeptical, but when I heard the conspiracy theories I always figured this car only existed in the imagination of potheads that think cars run on water(no offense anyone). I think I'll email this guy so he can put that car on Mythbusters. Only then would I be completely sold. And I can't help but wonder what the mileage would be if it were hybrid.
Flaw one , the idea that the free market would not supply far more cash to an inventor of high gas mileage engines than an oil company's bribe.In economics we talk about "barriers to entry" for new companies.The barriers for someone who can get 300mpg would vanish under the sea of venture capitol that would come their way.
Typing that your opponent is a joke in all caps is just an ad hominem attack. Since I am not making any crazy claims, all I really have to do is ask you for what you think is proof and then show you where your logic is flawed.
@nsofast Hey, its a waste of time to debate with such as 901jetta. He/she/it is unable to grasp a math/physical point. If u go thru every comment u cant find a real debate or truly incitful point about anything. All he does is point out vids on utube which naturally all are proof of some naive point-over and over again, months on end. You tube is truly a forum for the worlds lazy, deluded, dishonest, and frustrated.
I am here because I read everything you quacks have to say and watch every video you make. Do you read the skeptical articles that I write ? I bet you dont.
I do my homework
You do not.
That is why you will never win in an argument with me.
@901Jetta This is exactly what I am talking about. Meyers was a Quack with a capitol Q! When you research these things, you need to read the stuff that disagrees with your position not just the stuff that agrees.
Dont get me wrong, I am an average American myself, I just think that we have too many citizens believing nutty stuff. When someone comes to you with startling information, the first think you should do is try to disprove it. It should be a very long road indeed before something crazy like "the oil companies are suppressing technology" becomes part of your world view. Do you have any idea how many people would have to be involved in a conspiracy that big? Millions! all keeping the same secret.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. He makes the claim that a vintage car gets 300 plus MPG, he needs to prove that with more than youtube videos and old paperwork.
The world is full of crackpots that say they solve the worlds problems with stuff they have cobbled together in their basements. Most are crazy. The ones who actually invent real stuff become rich.
@901Jetta I have car that runs on credulity, it gets 5 billion miles per gallon. You cannot assume I am lying or mistaken because you dont know how carbdulity engines work.
My favorite are the hotrodders that tell you how great their gas mileage is once the bumped their old 56 chevy up to 450 hp but never actually will sit down and put pen to paper and calculate the actual gas mileage.
well of course this was real, they used a kind of Charles Pouge carburetor
vaporizing the gas, nothing special or new..just covered up by big oil and government ..
no brainier.. but we can do the same thing if we really want to but using ultrasonic vaporizer , you know the things that make fog in water. get them anywhere on ebay or home depot in form of ultrasonic humidifier .
LRN2 physics people, no way in hell does this get more than 50 MPG. Extraordinary claims require a car that at least starts not some guy lying and some old records with an odd typo. Fuel vapor my ass, prove it or STFU
I to feel that we should have come up with ways to get better fuel mileage since 1973 but our technology is stagnant due to the greed of the oil industry which has been backed by our government, both dems and repubs have failed in cheering on the battle for less oil use through better mileage. That little opel is pretty cool.
Naaah, look at the gearing, this car was likely built to travel at 10-15mph, slick high pressure tire, flat track, no hill climbing and engine speed was likely well below 1000 rpm. Likely in the very low 100's with loose bearings in the engine/transmission and driveline.
Please see my site about a sister shell competition car the 1959 Fiat 600. I also have the story about the race competitions and other race opponents.
@Bence316 ITS A MANUAL CAR STFU AND GO DRIVE YOUR RAGGITY 2011 MOTHER FKN SHITT STICK CAR GOT DAMN BITCH DON'T YOU EVER DISRESPECT A CLASSIC YOU SHOULD BE MURDERD BURNED TO THE STAKE THEN SHOVED IN THE DEAD BODY OF OSAMA BIN LADIN
@Bence316 WOAH WOAH WOAH! Now listen up MAN! there are two types of old cars: 1: old junk and 2: old classic. The cars shown in the vid from 0.00 to 0.20 where classic. We can argue about that, but it won't change the fact, that that Opel was in poor condition! By the way... WHAT THE HELL does this have to do with a car's transmission? Oh and I drive a '98 Suzuki Swift gls: 1.0Liter Engine with 5 speed manual gearbox! YOU ARE THE ONE who bought an automatic Ciera! Think before you act tough!
Shame Google Chrome told me this site might harm my computer.
High mileage lean burn engines go for low pressure valve springs. Low viscosity oil, very high pressure on the tyres. They do run lean so little valve overlap to stop burning the exhaust valve, water vapour spray in the inlet, big spark!, oversquare engine.
No cat, no modern fuels, high compression. Fuel can be pre-catalysed or evaporated like this car did... blah blah.
I read that the chemically correct air to gasoline fuel mixture should be 1 part gas and 15 parts air. Somewhere along the way Shell decided to surpress their own report which is floating all over the internet today...photo copies of their own research proves that the oil we have in the ground will never reach peak production but in fact we will witness "miraculous" breakthroughs in fuel efficiencies....many times through out our life times. Its all about money.
Becuse thats bullshit, the air to fuel mixture is completely based on your block size and compression ratios, valve's and springs, current engine temp, timing advance, and engine RPM. All of these effect the proper air to fuel ratio, and the ratio changes the higher the RPM incresses. The trick to getting high milage ouf your gas is driveing techniques (hypermileing), a six gear manual with overdrive will also help a great deal.
Uh, I had a 1997-3 cylinder Geo- Metro, 5pd........a great little commuter car. If I drove carefully I could get 60 mpg, and this is without many of the newer fuel saving technologies (variable valve timing, auto shutdown at stop, ultra lean burn mode, gas direct injection to name a few). I could see a little car like the Geo getting close to 100 mpg with some reworking of the systems. Problem is that little car would cost 20 grand, would it even sell? maybe if gas goes to 5 bucks a gallon.
Of course not why would they want u to have a car good on gas they want you to buy more gas that is why most cars only get somewhere in the teens on M.P.G. its all about making money and bad cars that break down and guzzle gas are being sold to everyone so we have to buy gas all the time and buy parts for the car. ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, CASH, MOOLA, MONEY MAKING IS THE GOAL IN OUR WORLD sadly.
It's very simple people. Drop a match into a bucket of gasoline and the match will just go out. Drop a match in a bucket full of gasoline vapors and it will ignite very easily. We inject liquid gasoline straight into the combustion chamber. This car vaporized it first then sent it into the combustion chamber.
I just don't buy it.....300+ plus mpg on a 2500 pound car. Possibly 80 mpg....I might believe it.....but odd-ball cars are always a joy to see and hear about
Hillarious... this auto "expert" can't figure out the thing is in gear while he's trying to start it!

LRN2 physics people, no way in hell does this get more than 50 MPG. Extraordinary claims require a car that at least starts not some guy lying and some old records with an odd typo. Fuel vapor my ass, prove it or STFU

I to feel that we should have come up with ways to get better fuel mileage since 1973 but our technology is stagnant due to the greed of the oil industry which has been backed by our government, both dems and repubs have failed in cheering on the battle for less oil use through better mileage. That little opel is pretty cool.

Naaah, look at the gearing, this car was likely built to travel at 10-15mph, slick high pressure tire, flat track, no hill climbing and engine speed was likely well below 1000 rpm. Likely in the very low 100's with loose bearings in the engine/transmission and driveline.

Please see my site about a sister shell competition car the 1959 Fiat 600. I also have the story about the race competitions and other race opponents.

The reason, why this car is so economic, besause you CAN'T EVEN START THIS OLD SHIT! XDXD

@Bence316 ITS A MANUAL CAR STFU AND GO DRIVE YOUR RAGGITY 2011 MOTHER FKN SHITT STICK CAR GOT DAMN BITCH DON'T YOU EVER DISRESPECT A CLASSIC YOU SHOULD BE MURDERD BURNED TO THE STAKE THEN SHOVED IN THE DEAD BODY OF OSAMA BIN LADIN

@Bence316 WOAH WOAH WOAH! Now listen up MAN! there are two types of old cars: 1: old junk and 2: old classic. The cars shown in the vid from 0.00 to 0.20 where classic. We can argue about that, but it won't change the fact, that that Opel was in poor condition! By the way... WHAT THE HELL does this have to do with a car's transmission? Oh and I drive a '98 Suzuki Swift gls: 1.0Liter Engine with 5 speed manual gearbox! YOU ARE THE ONE who bought an automatic Ciera! Think before you act tough!

Just imagine what the range of this vehicle would be if the entire car was made of carbon fiber and not heavy steel!

This car is just an example of what the result would be, if our full ingenuity potential was unlocked:D

Shame Google Chrome told me this site might harm my computer.
High mileage lean burn engines go for low pressure valve springs. Low viscosity oil, very high pressure on the tyres. They do run lean so little valve overlap to stop burning the exhaust valve, water vapour spray in the inlet, big spark!, oversquare engine.
No cat, no modern fuels, high compression. Fuel can be pre-catalysed or evaporated like this car did... blah blah.
It's do-able.

I read that the chemically correct air to gasoline fuel mixture should be 1 part gas and 15 parts air. Somewhere along the way Shell decided to surpress their own report which is floating all over the internet today...photo copies of their own research proves that the oil we have in the ground will never reach peak production but in fact we will witness "miraculous" breakthroughs in fuel efficiencies....many times through out our life times. Its all about money.

@MexCan65
Becuse thats bullshit, the air to fuel mixture is completely based on your block size and compression ratios, valve's and springs, current engine temp, timing advance, and engine RPM. All of these effect the proper air to fuel ratio, and the ratio changes the higher the RPM incresses. The trick to getting high milage ouf your gas is driveing techniques (hypermileing), a six gear manual with overdrive will also help a great deal.

@Lokivoid Your fuel air mix is based on the melting point of your exhaust valve.
Thats it.
Everything else you add in is a workaround to not using nimonic metal exhaust valves with fed precooling.
Why do you think a diesel limits the fuel fed for rpm/load with no air butterfly valve?
The BMW R1200GS has sodium filled valves against the BMWR1150S. Saves 10-15% in fuel.

Uh, I had a 1997-3 cylinder Geo- Metro, 5pd........a great little commuter car. If I drove carefully I could get 60 mpg, and this is without many of the newer fuel saving technologies (variable valve timing, auto shutdown at stop, ultra lean burn mode, gas direct injection to name a few). I could see a little car like the Geo getting close to 100 mpg with some reworking of the systems. Problem is that little car would cost 20 grand, would it even sell? maybe if gas goes to 5 bucks a gallon.

How about ENFORCING a law to limit your car collection to one vehicle? Would you like that?
kgcoupe69 1 year ago
Of course not why would they want u to have a car good on gas they want you to buy more gas that is why most cars only get somewhere in the teens on M.P.G. its all about making money and bad cars that break down and guzzle gas are being sold to everyone so we have to buy gas all the time and buy parts for the car. ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, CASH, MOOLA, MONEY MAKING IS THE GOAL IN OUR WORLD sadly.

It's very simple people. Drop a match into a bucket of gasoline and the match will just go out. Drop a match in a bucket full of gasoline vapors and it will ignite very easily. We inject liquid gasoline straight into the combustion chamber. This car vaporized it first then sent it into the combustion chamber.

I just don't buy it.....300+ plus mpg on a 2500 pound car. Possibly 80 mpg....I might believe it.....but odd-ball cars are always a joy to see and hear about

Not only did the big gas company do their best to bury this technology , They also changed the composition of their gasoline.
The opel you have was designed to heat the fuel and run on the vapor.
Today's gas needs much more heat to vaporize.
Don't be surprised if when you get it running it doesn't do as well as it did when we had real gas.
