咖啡動力汽車問世(圖)
A car that runs on coffee beans has been unveiled in the UK. Nicknamed the Car-puccino, it has been created using a converted 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco bought for EUR400. An expert explained that "Coffee, like wood or coal, has some carbon content so you can use it as a fuel." At 25-50 times the cost of running a car on petrol, the invention won't please any motor industry bean-counters.
一款以咖啡豆為驅(qū)動力的汽車日前在英國亮相。該款車綽號"車布奇諾"，由一部價值400歐元的1988年大眾尚酷汽車改裝而成。至于"車布奇諾"的驅(qū)動原理，一位專家解釋道，像煤、木頭和石油一樣，咖啡豆也含有碳的成分，因此可以拿來用作燃料。然而，由于此"咖啡燃料"比普通汽油貴25-50倍，汽車行業(yè)里精打細(xì)算的小氣鬼可不會為這個新發(fā)明拍手稱快。
