The "NECAR"....Bombs Away?
Mark Chase
According to yet another MSNBC report, Daimler
Chrysler unveiled this past Spring, plans to market
a car with a power source that emits only H2O
vapor...The NECAR,(pronounced "knee-cah") goes 280
miles before needing refueling, travels up to 90
MPH and emits water vapor as an exhaust......
THE CATCH:
The NECAR is 1100 pounds heavier than conventional gas powered cars..The fuel cell hardware, just the hardware mind you!, will cost consumers around $30,000 dollars...AND it takes 30 minutes to warm up, BEFORE the thing can
start. The NECAR runs by fuel cells converting liquid hydrogen and H2O, (that's water folks) into electricity....
ANALYSIS:
Great! Bravo! I'm all for technology so in the year
2004 when I'm traveling through some bayou
town in my spanking new NECAR..Billy Bob the
gas station attendant had better understand
quantum mechanics...
Picture This...it's the year 2004, you're traveling
through this back water town when all of a sudden
your hydrogen fuel remodulator starts to flash...
"fuel cell number 4 dangerously low"...
You stop at "Billy Bob's Gas and Sodee Pop"..
Billy Bob greets you..."gee what's you got thar
mister?"..Looks like a sumpthin' from not round
these hare parts!"....
You politely remain calm and ask Billy Bob to
please refibulate your hydrogen fuel remodulator.
Billy Bob grins kinda goofy and breaks out laughing,
slaps his knee and says..."that's good mister! now
where's the gas tank thang?"....
Now if that nightmare isn't bad enough..imagine
rush hour on the interstate. There are a hundred
little NECAR'S bumper to bumper. Some jerk at
the front of the pack slams their brakes and 100
little NECAR'S explode into 100 little mushroom clouds...
The Interstate Police will love it because
there will be no mess to clean...Everything will
be vaporized!...
So if you plan on buying a NECAR, better start
building your bomb shelters, stock up on dry goods
and have your hearing checked...cause air raid
sirens will be making a comeback folks! (mc)
