LONDON, KOMPAS.com - Mobil gasoline or drive like a jet of gas may be used. However, steam cars with nearly the same speed a surprise even though this is not new. Indeed, after the coloring of fossil fuels the modern automotive world, steam-powered cars go unnoticed.This was developed by three of the UK automotive enthusiasts who named his group The British Steam Car is based in the New Forest, Hampshire. Fred Marriott with the brothers Francis and Freelan Stanley. All three get surprised the automotive world by launching a large steam-powered cars.As reported by Dailymail, car 25 feet in length or about 7.5 meters tested this started on Wednesday (25 / 3). They successfully launched a water-fueled car with a speed of 127 mph before the event specifically for automotive vehicle or a steam-powered supercar Steam 21st century, in England next April.This is a new record since 1906 for large vehicles that weigh a total of around 3 tons of it. Because, in 1906 the record was created for the sedan type car.The car, named Stanley Rocket is the fastest record, namely 127 659 mph in Florida. This is the fastest to date although Mariott'm sure they'll be more speed it again to 200 mph."This is the first trial and we do not use the maximum speed," said a spokeswoman for the British, Matt Candy. To launch the first official event of this, they deliberately shut down some power lines.The real power will they pertontonkan in the arena show, next week.The car was designed futuristic type of vehicle-based carbon composites and aluminum. As for chasisnya is a combination of aluminum and steel. When the car was launched to bring bursts of white vapor in the stern.For just a comparison, the strength of the gas car reaches the same three megawatts of heat or cook with tea 9000. The water vapor released by the kettle on average 50 liters per minute with the heat reached 400 degrees Celsius. Steam is then moving the two turbines at the rear of the car.Efforts to make the water vapor as an alternative fuel is continuously carried out by automotive junkies even though it can not be an alternative as a future vehicle. Although the fuel cost, would be very troublesome.Imagine, a car designed brothers Stanley was very fat around her body filled tubes or boiler filled with water. Considerable amount, ie 12 pot and a kettle contents 140 liters of hot water. A steam boiler is only enough for two miles.However, the steam car enthusiasts are convinced that the technology of steam can be food for thought automotive enthusiasts of this most environmentally friendly. Although the water is very difficult to hike, there will be alternative energy sources that do not take place, such as LPG could save the place, but steam power is large enough to move the car.In the group of water-powered automotive enthusiasts, it was not a major concern because of their obsession is how the car menggeber steam-powered cars the same as fossils, such as jets land at F1. In fact, some F1 technology, they also cloned. Don Wales for example, Donald Campbell, Sir Malcolm Campbell and uses technology similar to F1 braking.
