Time to rethink your model power plants...

So a group on Facebook (The Scale Model Club) posted this picture. Very creative and might spark a few odd ideas.

I have the very same set-up in my Ford truck, only I have a two hampster power instead of one!!!

[LokisTyro]

Sure beats a hybrid or electric.

[MAGNUM4342]

I have a turbo gerbil.

You know somebody is going to say it..."It only costs peanuts to run."

[slusher]

Thats funny...

[Dr. Cranky]

That's what we call thinking inside the wheel! LOL.

[cobraman]

Very clever.

[Jantrix]

Or maybe one of the Flubber engines.

I went to the third grade and anybody with that much educations has to ask , will the vehicle going forward and the

little fellow a wheelin it backords will he get vertigo ?

I could see that under the hood of a Prius or a Fiat 500, but a Willys(?) that part's kinda strange. The tongue and cheek should fit the subject closely to work to its fullest! At least they got a great Hemi for another project, hopefully ether didn't try to shoehorn it into a Prius or Fiat 500!!!

Emissions?

[Evilbenny]

The EPA would not allow this. Too much methane emission.

[DrKerry]

Wait a minute, he's running the wrong way!!! LOL

[RancheroSteve]

That squirrel must put out a lot of torque to require that Ford 9" differential!

How about a rabbit hutch in the trunk, to breed food for a larger, higher-hosepower carnivorous animal to supply the motive power up front? You could feed the rabbits grass clippings from mowing lawns.

Or how about a horse on a treadmill on a wheeled "power unit", with the treadmill rollers geared to the wheels of the power unit, which would pull the car down the road like a trailer?

All renewable fuel, and enough un-necessary complication to make today's engineers and product planners happy.
