Petroleum, You Have Been Weighed...

He's Blonde, He's Pissed, He'll See You In 

The Lists, LICHTENSTEINNNNN! 

PETROLEUM

Wat: You have been weighed.

Roland: You have been measured.

Kate: And you have absolutely...

Chaucer: Been found wanting.

William: Welcome to New World. God save you, if it is right that he should do so.

What is 17.22 ft long, 7.2 ft wide (7.2ft) and travels 0-62 mph in 2.8 seconds?  Why it’s the Quant-e Sports car.  A new vehicle from NanoFlowcell AG, a Lichtenstein-based company.  

Now most of you would yawn and say, “yah, so what… What sports car doesn’t?”  We would reply, one that runs on saltwater..   Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the beginning of the end for fossil fuels.  Regardless of what you may think, if this is for real, this is the first “Oh Yah?!!!!” for the alternative fueled engines that actually should have the petroleum companies puckering in their seats. 

Now as it has been presented, It draws power from nanoFLOWcell, an electrolyte flow cell power system that works on the principles of the redox flowcell, which was developed in 1976 for NASA and the american space program. thanks to this technology, the vehicle delivers a driving range of up to 600 km, and is powered exclusively by salt water. packed with a 912 horsepower engine, the EV hypercar also reaches blistering performance figures of 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 2.8 seconds, and a top speed of 380 km/h.

Moreover, it can do this for 373 miles without a refill of  52.8 gallons of saltwater.

The four seater car carries the water in two 200-litre tanks, which in one sitting will allow drivers to travel up to 373 miles (600km).

NanoFlowcell AG, a Lichtenstein-based company behind the drive, is now planning to test the car on public roads in

Germany and elsewhere in Europe as the company prepares for series production.

It claims the technology offers five times the energy capacity of lithium-ion batteries of the same weight. 

'We've got major plans, and not just within the automobile industry,' says NanoFlowcell AG Chairman of the Board Professor Jens-Peter Ellermann. 'The potential of the NanoFlowcell is much greater, especially in terms of domestic energy supplies as well as in maritime, rail and aviation technology.’

Now of course there is a litany of neigh-Sayers with a laundry list of objections; however, this isn't the first time Saltwater has taken front stage... 

As John Kanzius demonstrated in 2007.  He also demonstrated a device that generated flammable hydrogen-containing gas from salt-water-solution by the use of radiowaves. In the media this was dubbed "burning salt water". Both effects involve the use of his radio frequency transmitter. Kanzius said that "In this case we weren't looking for energy, we were looking for something that might do desalinization. 

However, Kanzius admitted that this process could not be considered an energy source, as more energy is used to produce the RF signal than can be obtained from the burning gas and stated in July 2007 that he never claimed his discovery would replace oil, asserting only that his discovery was "thought provoking".

So either this new NanoFlowcell is a marketing scam made out to be an earth shattering invention, or just another unique battery concept that may produce true alternatives to petroleum. Only time will tell.

So “Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;”
