Some of the fastest dragsters ever were electric powered.
Charge 100 liters of water using a 100kw electrical heater for 40 minutes = 214mph in 2.5 seconds!!!
That is 67 kwh of energy input, less than a fully charged tesla. 214 mph in 2.5 sec: water-powered record stands the test of time Of course the performance is irrelevant, crowds are more interested in noise and smell :/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDDI5h8JQE0 |
I just checked, a top fuel dragster uses ~22 gallons in warmup, burnouts and run, like 830kwh of energy per run! and it is ~$30/gallon fuel! Plus some very expensive machinery and crew.

thanks
I really liked that never heard of it b4.

I've seen a few of these. Like in so many other things ecomodder-oriented, lightness is good, getting up to speed early is good (very good), and it isn't HHO.

I think that makes the 0-60 1.73 seconds.

[Boring math follows] 343.52 km/h = 95.4 m/s It accelerated for 2.5 seconds, so it traveled for somewhere near 239 m while accelerating. 239^.4 = 8.94 m/sē 60 MPH = 96.5606 KPH = 26.8224 m/s 8.94 m/sē = 26.8224 m/s sē = 26.8224/8.94 √sē = √3.000268 = 1.732128 |
I feel you reaching!
