From a Dutch investigative program, the subject is about the car of the future. Here they show the infamous Opel P1 that drove 376 miles per gallon. It looks like a pile of crap but apparently it can’t be beaten by 2008 technology. Just think if they continued working on hypermileage technology where we would be today.

If this car is running on electric motors then why is there an inline 4 cylinder engine in it (3:50)? Seems to me a smaller engine would be used to produce the power necessary turn a generator. Looks like some sort of fuel vaporizer..
ops you are debunker …please go on with your meaningless job
Check bedini, newman and magnetic motors generally speaking. Check also electricity from the air and read some quantum field theory and you’ll have you’re answer. Anyway in short even 20 years ago there was the technology to make electric motors that use bemf (study that too) and use very little and I mean little energy
And did they include the fuel it took to produce the electricity?
(I do presume it’s running on electricity)
No car gets the fantastic gas mileage they are claiming. How convenient it is to forget it took something to provide the electricity. Until they compute that figure, it’s all lies.
Please not that the vehicle is NOT usable on the road, neither does it say somewhere at what speed the 376mpg was reached. For something that comes as close as possible to a fully roadworthy car, with airbags a/c and so on, do a google on “volkswagen 1l car”. If you think that fuel economy is high up on the priority list of the consumer, think again. The Audi A2 3L and VW Lupo 3L are kult now, but back then production was halted simply because the demand was too low!
The presenter of the program spoke of the vehicle as being a standard production vehicle, which clearly says something about his understanding of cars and physics. The “car” is actually a vehicle made for breaking fuel economy records, with a part of a production car body on it to make it look like a normal car. The technology applied is nothing secret at all, come to think of it, the figure is easily be beaten be modern record cars.
hho, magnetic and electric motors
