  1. there’s alot of nitrogen in coffeegrounds. is that even necessary to the function of this car, or is it dependent on plant-oils..?
    i think you’re better off planting Jatropha.
    i wanted to plant coffee trees at one time, until i read that they take like 40 years to fully mature and start producing beans.
    but if you can modify a vehicle to run on kudzu.. come to Mississippi, and take all the fucking kudzu you want. that shit is free, and it could terraform Mars. someone should drop some kudzubeans wherever they found water on the moon, see if it will grow in that lack of atmosphere.

  2. @Hirudinea, you got’s yourself a yellow onion? Back during the war…

    …That said, haven’t there been a shitton and a half of gasifier of late? I’ll admit this one is novel, but still…

  3. This is just sad.

    If you imagine how much manual work it takes to produce a kilogramm of coffee beans, the creators of this car are just ridiculing the poor low-wage workers harvesting the coffee.

    Please stop using this car. Put in a museum as an example of most stupidiest things mankind ever made.

  4. Wouldn’t it make much more sense to process the coffee at a static site and then use the gas to power the car? You don’t see people trying to run their cars off crude oil.

  5. It runs on Coffee GRINDS which are a waste product, not coffee BEANS which arn’t. Coffee grinds get thrown in landfill by the ton and this is an ingenious method of power production from something that is normally thrown away.

  6. I Built this car and it runs on used coffee using new would be stupid. The Daily Mail published a lot of crap about this car. also it uses no charcoal at all the coffee burns buy its self.

  7. poignant post. to be truthful i am not sure i understood it completely. but, wanted to step upand leave a comment anyway. are you a freelance writer by vocation?, because your posts are really good.
