Time to rethink your model power plants...


Recommended Posts

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!!!

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.
