Chinese Farmer Creates Wind-Powered Car

braschlosan says...

The only way something like this would work is a device that captures waste heat and turns it back into usable energy. BMW made a system like this that took waste heat from the exhaust and put it back into the crank.

Also some of you need to go back to high school (middle school perhaps)

Chinese Farmer Creates Wind-Powered Car

robbersdog49 says...

Whenever I see something like this I always think 'how do the people running these scams get away with it?'

Then I read the comments here and realise people are far too uninformed to understand the problems. I'm not going to say stupid, just uninformed. Physics, science generally and maths are seen as geeky subjects studied by nerds which can be safely ignored by the cool kids because they'll never need them in real life. This leads to the completely uninformed comments above. Anyone who thinks this could work is wrong. If you think it will extend the range you are wrong.

There is a hell of a lot of money to be made from fuel efficiency in cars. Which do you think is more likely: Ford, BMW, Mercedes, VW, Honda, Toyota, Volvo, GM, Dodge, et al with all the hundreds of millions of pounds or dollars or Yen or whatever they spend on development missed something a farmer in China was able to build in his garage - or the farmer in China is wrong? Add to the car makers all the companies who make planes and trains and boats and it shows a pretty obvious fact.

Yep, the Chinese farmer is wrong. Simple.

But the worst thing about this video is that it exists. I'm sure farmers all over the world come up with stupid ideas all the time (as do people from other walks of life too!), but that doesn't mean they need to make a video about it.

Are Interiors in American Cars Crap?

KnivesOut says...

100% agree. I just bought (4000 miles so far) an Infiniti G37 and it stood head-and-shoulders apart from the American counter-parts.

I tested a number of German cars (BMW, Benz, Audi, VW) as well, but the poor reliability and cost-to-repair scared me away.

Back Away BMW Bitch

>> ^xxovercastxx:

@0:44, when they first have line of sight to each other, the truck driver has plenty of room to pull over whereas she has none. He should have let her pass then instead of pulling up to her.
But she completely lost her mind. Ok, so the truck driver is a dick... just pull to the left and let him go. What's to be gained by making a confrontation out of it?
In summary, assholes all around and I didn't benefit from seeing this.


I'm really not sure about this; she stops her car in the middle of the road at 0.52.

Let's assume that the truck is approximately the same size as the truck with the driver who also gets out to speak. Where on that street do you see a gap that the truck driver could enter (after 0:44 as you say) that would have made the road clearer than the alternative and much more mechanically simple (AND more carbon neutral, AND more obvious, AND more polite, AND etc.) than where she moved her car to at 4.30?

The only reason there is any argument or problem here is because the woman leaves her car and approaches the truck driver with abuse. If at 0.44 she had coasted her car into the same place it ended up at 4.30, she would have gotten to her destination perhaps 20 seconds slower than if the street were completely clear. The truck driver also slows down even more at the 40 metre gap with just a bin in it. He couldn't make the solution any more obvious to her. He couldn't fit in that gap but she can fit there in the same way as she does at 4.30.

In conclusion, i'd like to suggest that actually this is an example of a stupid idiot not being able to control a car properly. The guy in the truck was, in my opinion, overly generous in the amount of time he gave her to move into a sensible position, and he may or may not be a dick because it is unclear.

I see things like this happen every day on my way to university. People shouldn't be driving if they can't understand the basics and this is very basic. Next thing you know she'll be overtaking someone on a corner because like, you know, whatever, like i've got a salon appointment to get to so just, you know, like, get out of the way!

Negligence is the biggest killer, get her off the fucking road. I certainly don't want to share the roads with her, and i'm saddened (but not surprised; seen too much of this crap) that a minority found in her favour!

Bulldozer Toppled Gate After Porsche SUV Blocked entry

If you wanna go offroad you get the defender, the BMW 5 is just sad.


Most people who own cayennes wouldn't know off road it bit them in the ass. What they want is a big, powerful, luxury family car. I picked a 5 series as an example, but you could have a merc or whatever else fits in that category.

Either way, the point is that cayenne is an expensive "worst of all worlds" car.
A 5 series is a better sedan, almost anything is a better offroader (I'd actually go for a Hilux over a defender) and there are plenty of cheap nippy roadsters that will handle infinitely better.

God the Cayenne's an ugly son of a bitch. The people that drive them obviously have more money than taste.

Yep, ugly ass car that is mediocre at everything. I once worked out that for the price of a top of the range cayenne, you could buy a decent spec BMW 5 series and a land rover defender. Hell you'd nearly have enough left over for an Ariel Atom. All of which kick the Cayennes ass.

Without these "pieces of shit", BMW would have closed shop or been taken over by Daimler-Benz in '59, if not earlier.>> ^Enzoblue:

BMW should pay someone to go around and remove their logo's from these pos's.
