An American invented a motorcycle with a beer engine (3 photos + 2 videos)
The man simply figured that it would be cheaper to fill his bike with foam than gasoline.
Kee Mikaelson, inventor from Minnesota. On his account a few insane developments such as a rocket-powered toilet and jet powered coffee pot. But now he introduced something really worthwhile - a motorcycle capable of riding beer. Is not only environmentally friendly, but also relatively cheap.
The motorcycle is equipped with a 14-gallon (63.65 liters) mechanism, in which uses a heating coil instead of a gas engine. The coil helps to heat up the beer, which aids further starting. motorcycle.
He has already shown his creation at a couple of local exhibitions and made a splash among fans of non-standard engineering solutions. More Moreover, Mikaelson claims that instead of beer, there can be any liquid, including Red Bull and Caribou coffee.
The inventor stated that when he pours beer into the tank, the liquid is heated to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (Celsius is almost 149 degrees), and when it exits the nozzles at the back, the beer turns into superheated steam, which provides enough thrust to propel motorcycle forward. How far on a full gas station can you drive until it is known, but claimed, that the beer bike can accelerate to 160 km/ h.
The invention is not planned to be launched into a series, but who knows, maybe in 50 years beer will really become a competitor to beniza, what do you think?
