The sports car that runs on SALTWATER: Vehicle goes from 0 to 60mph in 2.8 seconds - and has just been approved for EU roads

Quant e-Sportlimousine's top speed is 217mph - equal to a McLaren P1
The car uses a saltwater flow cell system to power four electric motors
Water passes through membrane in tanks creating an electric charge
Two 200-litre water tanks can provide a range of 373 miles (600km)
The four-seater is 5.25 metres (0.4ft) long and 2.2 metres wide (7.2ft)
Price and sale date yet to be confirmed, but may cost more than £1m

Sports cars may not have the best reputation for being environmentally-friendly, but this sleek machine has been designed to reach 217.5 mph (350 km/h) – using nothing but saltwater.
Its radical drive system allows the 5,070lbs (2,300kg) Quant e-Sportlimousine to reach 0-60 mph (100 km/h) in 2.8 seconds, making it as fast as the McLaren P1.
After making its debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show in March, the saltwater technology has now been certified for use on European roads.

Sports cars may not have the best reputation for being environmentally-friendly.But this sleek machine has been designed to reach an impressive 217.5 mph (350 km/h) – using nothing but saltwater

The 920 horsepower (680 kW) Quant e-Sportlimousine uses something known as an electrolyte flow cell power system to power four electric motors within the car.




It works in a similar way to a hydrogen fuel cell, however, the liquid used for storing energy is saltwater.
The liquid passes through a membrane in between the two tanks, creating an electric charge. This electricity is then stored and distributed by super capacitors.

After making its debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show (pictured) in March, the saltwater technology has now been certified for use on European roads. The car carries the water in two 200-litre tanks, which in one sitting will allow drivers to travel up to 373 miles (600km)

NanoFlowcell AG, a Lichtenstein-based company behind the drive, is now planning to test the car on public roads in Germany and elsewhere in Europe as the company prepares for series production.
It claims the technology offers five times the energy capacity of lithium-ion batteries of the same weight.
'We've got major plans, and not just within the automobile industry,' says NanoFlowcell AG Chairman of the Board Professor Jens-Peter Ellermann.
'The potential of the NanoFlowcell is much greater, especially in terms of domestic energy supplies as well as in maritime, rail and aviation technology.'

so fuel is 400kgs and overall it weighs about the same as a range rover. So I'd reckon this fuel tech would be great in 4wd/trade or small freight oriented vehicles 3t+. If the torque is there. Can you fuel up at the beach?

I think it's a battery which uses saltwater as the electrolyte. So you still need to charge it up, I believe.

Not sure how a membrane makes electrickery myself but torque Nm's per kilowatt is the yard stick. The more of one for the less of the another. I've recently moved to a diesel vehicle. For the best economy you use the torque to build the momentum. Takes patience though and most traffic doesn't have much of that. Bulk/mass compensates for that. A bit like you would want to side step a running elephant rather than stand your ground and hope he pulls up in time.

Yes...now you have to figure out how to dispose of the 51% of a barrel of petroleum that is gasoline...since you still need the other 49% of a barrel of petroleum to supply the petrochemical industry.

Until you can replace a barrel of oil with a barrel of seawater...you are doomed.

Like what do you think the masters keep you all around for?...A cheerleading squad?

You do not do research because you are not getting paid...well I have some bad new for you...even the people getting paid to do research do not have the slightest clue where their paychecks come from.

The reality is they do not care about you all...if new technology causes you to no longer need to exist...you will be liquidated one way or the other.

you will accept your fate and find a nice secluded place to cease to exist or self liquidate...thanks for showing up to planet earth...or you will resist your fate...and require forced liquidation...thanks for showing up to planet earth.

Why do you think the DHS has been exponentially inflating since 2002 and the police force in north America has become more militarized.

To deal with the fate resisters...or slaves and servants no longer needed by the master.

You think the people that rule all you wonder what is going to happen tomorrow speculators...Are speculators?

They know more than me...because they are at the top looking down at all of you...they had you all figured out before you were born.

They taught you all how to read, write, do math, and how to think.

What you all are taught in grades 1 to high school is what is taught to slaves so the slaves can slave for the master better.

What you are taught in University is what is taught to servants so the servants can serve the master better.

I was born impervious to mind control...so the reasonable program you all accepted and are following to the logical conclusion or defeat of the reasonable assumption of victory...does not work on me.

But there is not much I can do about it...Because if I try to point out that you are a master mind controlled slave mind...You go into flip out and annihilate me mode...Due to the program you accepted and are following to the logical conclusion or defeat of the reasonable assumption of victory.

Is the sea water the radioactive sea water from Japan...Or can the regular kind be used?

This patent technology will only be kept under serviceable warranty with battery juice gained exclusively from the dead sea. :)

Like all dreams........will only believe it when I actually see it on the roads....or in my garage giving power to my home.
