The guys at Eepybird are at it again!
The folks who turned fizzing minty cola into a performance art, have found a way to power a car with their concoction!
The all new Mark II Coke Zero and Mentos Rocket is not, however, likely to be hitting your local car dealership anytime soon.
The vehicle was propelled 6 feet by 54 bottles of Coke Zero and 324 mentos (Followed by about 200 feet of coasting).
Math Time:
1 Mento = $0.04 (source)
1 Bottle of Coke Zero = $1.69 (source)
Total Cost of Fuel:
$104.22 for 6 Feet (or $17.37 per foot)
Mileage:
So, we are looking at roughly $91,713 per mile.
We have a little ways to go before this becomes the alternative fuel source of the future.
