REMEMBER THIS IS PART three SEE PARTS 1 AND 2
Reality shows, poo poo, Reality Blog wins!
No legit grouping ever came upwards amongst a high mileage vehicle based on fact?
Enter 1 of the best known forces inward stock machine racing, if yous are whatever sort of valid racing fan the names Holman-Moody should live known.
Pre-NASCAR h/m was rocking together with rolling together with into the mid 50's, NASCAR's kickoff decade all the same coming up, turning out some of the fastest cars out at that spot ever on the cutting border of technology.
Holman-Moody was good established inward the early on 60's together with drivers similar Dan Gurney were making their names good known
OK dorsum on runway (pun intended) 1974 that petty gas crisis shows up, Ralph Moody straight off retired started to tinker together with built a high mileage car, but foggy on that one. Skip to the belatedly 70's Moody amongst his partner Mike Shetley may direct maintain built 10 prototypes amongst diverse driveline combos, non verified. In 2007 1 of these 79-80 Mercury Capri's showed upwards on eBay together with I read all the "know it all's" ripping the machine apart every bit a scam.
A telephone telephone band from a skillful friend informed the before this twelvemonth almost a pretty interesting machine he knew about, aye it was a Moody Turbo Diesel!
We arranged a see to encounter the machine together with got a peril to drive it on an old runway together with therefore I tin forcefulness out prove it exists, fifty-fifty amongst a turbo it was truly tiresome together with took a long fourth dimension for turbo boost to assist out, but the machine was tested together with got 80+ MPG!
Odd twelvemonth when the Mercury Capri shared the Mustang torso together with yous tin forcefulness out encounter at that spot is nix mysterious almost this machine downward to its spoke bike covers, it appears stock. Could direct maintain to a greater extent than tweaking along amongst lighter components netted higher MPG, probably. Fiberglass replacement parts, lite alloy wheels together with a to a greater extent than aerodynamic snout every bit nosotros encounter afterwards on could work, but non needed. The betoken was the machine made eighty MPG from a evidently machine using a Perkins diesel fuel amongst a turbo, the drive reminded me of a examine drive inward an 80's Jeep Cherokee Turbo Diesel. I was a parts managing director at a Jeep dealer together with grabbed the kickoff 1 off the truck diesel fuel together with it was the slowest affair I ever drove, but when that turbo boost built upwards it did instruct moving, a little!
You tin forcefulness out discovery rumors together with conspiracy theories almost this 1 also. Threats together with offers of millions to purchase the plans? Let me clearly nation that at that spot is nix mysterious almost the machine nor anything that needed guarded copyrights together with patents. Very uncomplicated for anyone to reproduce this 1 amongst a pocket-sized efficient engine together with geared correctly, I retrieve an teacher I had inward merchandise schoolhouse built a Gremlin amongst a four Cylinder AIR cooled Perkins diesel fuel engine that got some crazy high MPG inward the early on 80's. Wonder what happened to that car?
The squad tried to instruct the machine tested and EPA certified together with the feds had no involvement inward testing it together with therefore Moody had a quondam EPA caput he knew perform his ain command tests together with declared it to live 1 of the cleanest running vehicles he ever tested!
I direct maintain to update this a chip straight off that I carefully read an article over again;
Quoted from the article which mentioned a few people who pigeon into Turbo Diesel swaps caput first, EPA certification " a production run of 2000 vehicles requires a 50,000 mile examine costing $40,000, non the EPA refused to examine the vehicle! Think almost how much fourth dimension the EPA would waste product testing every machine somebody tossed together? The Moody-Shetley projection never proved 84 MPG, Moody together with Shetley dissolved the partnership amidst lawsuits together with bad blood. Several other projects would claim 45-55 MPG from Turbo Diesel builds, but inward 1980 Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 VW Rabbit Diesel had a metropolis EPA rating of 42 MPG together with therefore enquire yourself what was the betoken of all these dreamers? Lets human face upwards it everybody involved inward this projection lives off the aura filled mystery of conspiracies when inward reality at that spot was no patented conception to sell together with many manufacturers were on the cusp of production diesel fuel cars anyway. Shetley was reported to direct maintain been charged amongst fraud over fake EPA statements.

Why did the projection die, at that spot was nix to sell except a peril for individual to marketplace a similar machine together with instruct a percent for the guidance. The auto makers could direct maintain built the machine if they wanted every bit well!
From almost the mid 50's into the belatedly 60's Plymouth together with Jeep tried several Perkins Diesel powered cars, but yous never heard of them right?
NEXT
Meet the AVION 100 MPG!
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 .27 drag coefficient together with 1550 lbs,
0-60 5.3 seconds together with 157 MPH
1984 Craig Henderson together with Bill Green started a ii twelvemonth projection together with created the Avion
thirty years direct maintain passed together with all the same no involvement inward the car, but yous mightiness live able to purchase it every bit a kit car, but lets become dorsum a petty chip first
I instruct chills when I lookout adult man the video because it is a skillful looking machine that used the concept of aerodynamics together with lite weight, an aluminum chassis, fiberglass together with plastic powered past times a Shelby four cylinder turbo engine inward 1 configuration.
Watch the video please!
Now half dozen + years afterwards together with at that spot is all the same no investors to assist Craig follow the dream!
An Audi four cylinder Diesel also was used at 1 point, realistically the Avion mightiness average 40-50 MPG inward real globe usage, but possibly 75-80 mpg amongst a diesel fuel inward place.
It all started at Western Washington University past times the 2 engineering scientific discipline students
Nothing crazy hither simply a sleek lightweight machine amongst an efficient powertrain!
The Avion entered many a mileage contest including X-prize
The prize would live $10 1 one one thousand thousand which could direct maintain funded the production of the kit cars.
The shape rules are the machine must spot 4, direct maintain at to the lowest degree four wheels together with a arrive at of 200 miles. Must instruct 100 mpg minimum together with the Avion had truly prepare a Guinness globe record.
It seems the rules changed the twelvemonth the Avion entered the x-prize together with they allowed motorcycles inward the shape together with express the arrive at to 100 miles giving electrical cars an advantage.
Peter Diamandis runs the x-prize together with started upwards xv companies, best described every bit a an entrepreneur who focuses on novel engineering land offering large sums of coin for novel ideas that volition practice goodness the planet.
I sure enough tin forcefulness out experience Craig's disappointment that the Avion was never set inward production, but 1 time again a instance of a real thoughtfully designed machine amongst no hidden secrets or conception to brand the creators rich. The exclusively prize hither would direct maintain been offering technical propose to make the Avion together with a percent of the sales!
THERE ARE NO CREDIBLE REASON WHY ONE OF THE AUTO MANUFACTURERS COULD NOT HAVE BUILT Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 CAR THIS EFFICIENT - TWO COLLEGE KIDS DID 25 YEARS AGO!
As I was finishing this upwards GM announced a novel machine called the Bolt on the heals of the failed stillborn Volt
First mitt experience, the Volt was a bunch of "smoke together with mirrors" 35 miles (maybe 50) on a unmarried accuse together with therefore if yous lived 35 miles from move together with plugged inward yous could conceivably become dorsum together with forth without the gas engine ever turning on. Toys together with gadgets inside, it takes a pre-flight review to move the radio together with adjust the seat!
$40,000 together with yous encounter if they all the same brand em?
Well it may live dorsum every bit a 2016, 400 miles on charges together with gas, hum my 94 Caprice was able to become 400 miles betwixt fill upwards ups! It takes four 1/2 hours to fully recharge its volt-age amongst a 240v plug inward source, together with therefore what?
Jan 12 2015 Chevy announced a Bolt amongst possible 200 mile arrive at on a unmarried accuse calling a Tesla Fighter together with exclusively almost $30,000-$35,000 this time, oh boy!
Bolt Concept non reality yet, oh this is cool looking,not.
Hey a Chevy that is available for lease exclusively inward Oregon together with California inward express quantities for $20,000 amongst an 85 mile accuse range
Spark EV
Oops, that is the truthful cat from Christmas Vacation, my error!
We could proceed going
http://www.eliomotors.com/#possible
$6800 together with 85 MPG!
The in conclusion respond is that no 1 ever came upwards amongst some fantastic conception that would direct maintain warranted expiry threats or pay off hush coin inward the total of millions.It seems either people were scam artists or real efficient engineering scientific discipline was bluntly ignored, but why?
It would seem that whatever ultra efficient running vehicle that optimized fuel economic scheme would inward theory live a cleaner emission vehicle because it literally would burn downward every in conclusion drib of fuel together with therefore what happened?
If yous were able to brand a fortune legally from, lets say OIL would yous desire to assist cut down the worlds dependency? Why are Hybrids non one-half the cost of gas powered cars, trying to ensure continuing wealth I say! Why would yous brand an extremely fuel efficient machine if it would all the same exclusively sell for almost the same cost every bit electrical flow cars? Draw your ain determination please,but practice non ever feed into whatever affair to a greater extent than than coin existence the source of this evil!
I CAN SEE THE TOTAL VIEWS ON EACH BLOG, WHEN THERE IS Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 PART three PLEASE TAKE THE TIME AND READ PARTS 1 AND 2 IN ORDER IF YOU JUST JUMPED IN!
