Can you see the Benz?

Yeah, the invisibility cloak is neat and all, but what I really want to know about is how many MPG does the fuel cell car have? I understand it has no emmisions, which is awesome, but how efficient is it? Is it better than an internal combustion engine?
Edit: Google is helpful. It runs on hydrogen only, which I missed in Grav's post. I'm not that impressed by hydrogen as a fuel. Because you pretty much wind up burning coal or oil to make the hydrogen. But the car is very efficient, with a 90 mpg equivalent and with zero emissions. |

To me it looks like an airboat. Like the ones you see Marlon Perkins and Jim cruising the Everglades in. But totally hot rodded, like an unlimited hydrofoil. Of course the hydrofoils I've seen all have a prop that pushes water, and this one's props push the air, so, airboat. For ekranoplans closer to reality (I know the one in the video is real, but really now...) check out the BT Hoverwings. Also cool, but not as cool as that polished aluminum monster. |

If it was good enough for the Hindenburg, it's good enough for high end cars. |

remember it was those wacky krauts who also came up with the magnesium car body. |
Got dayum! What a horrendous fucking wreck.

Over 80 killed there Grav. It led to motor racing being banned in several countries and Mercedes withdrew for motorsport for about 30 years.

Wow!
Magnesium? Isn't that what we'd steal 'strips' of in HS chem lab because of the bright white flames they produced when lit? I'd never heard this story. Just...woah. Seems weird there was a Pontiac LeMans for so long, given that the Le Mans raceway boasted the worst disaster in motorsport history. |
It was obviously a terrible thing IM, but LeMans is still a special place.
|
Yeah, that is what I gathered. It was one incident in a history of great sport. :)

Knock knock.
