Big fat Pothead discovers a new way to run an engine

bigfatpothead · 07-23-2008, 11:24 AM

I entered the NASA design the future contest

NASA Tech Briefs Create the Future Design Contest

My invention will change the way we all drive.

Holly crap. I can't believe no one ever thought of that? I hope you win! I don't see how you couldn't man. Stick around Yahooka it'd be nice to have a a big pothead hanging around

. Only flaw I could see with this is how much electricty would it take to get the electro magnet to pull/push a car? And would an alternator not work anymore? If so wouldn't you need a large battery to fill up, etc?

If there was a way to harness energy from masterbation I'm sure we'd use a lot less electricity.

woah good idea, I hope it works. and lol at the Meet the Entrant "hobbies and activities section"

"Ronnie's hobbies and activities:
I love riding my motorcycle and tinkering with things that are broken. I tend to smoke 2 joints in the morning and I smoke 2 joints at night, I smoke 2 joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright."

haha one of the funniest things i've ever read.

I'm certainly not a scientician, so bear with me here. But how do you plan on powering the electromagnets? Surely some sort of electric generator/battery would be required? Why not just direct this energy directly into turning the wheels, rather than indirectly powering the car through a modified combustion engine? Can you show that the magnets are somehow more efficient?

you'd have to design an entirely new drivetrain to do that. i think the idea is to make use of currently existing cars by modifying only the engine. i'd also like to know about the efficiency of this device.

I got a kick out of the hobbies section also.

I'm hoping you win

msicidron · 07-23-2008, 07:14 PM

is this more energy-efficient than the existing standard electric motors around?

Proof Please.

I hope you win too. What will you power the electromagnet with? A battery? So is it basically an electric type car? Maybe you could hook solar panels up to that. Or strap a windmill on top to spin one you get going!

I wish someone would perfect fusion.
