At least they were using some neurons. Let's hope the next big innovation isn't a build upon Amish technology. - Sed Emihcra Thu, 11 Oct 2007 15:16:44 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/weird-stuff/1037#comment-5953 You do realize that large animals like cows and yes horses do produce methane gas aka carbon gas. so if this thing catches on, it will actually be contributing to global warming. - Ian Tue, 09 Oct 2007 18:10:48 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/weird-stuff/1037#comment-5934 I can't keep my car clean the way it is! - vigilant20 Tue, 09 Oct 2007 12:29:28 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/weird-stuff/1037#comment-5932 Looks like someone photoshopped that horse in there... you can see the fuzzyness on the horse's back from cutting it out of a background. Also, the horse is semi-transparent! - Kevin Miller Tue, 09 Oct 2007 11:26:48 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/weird-stuff/1037#comment-5928 Using a horse's motion to charge a battery to power motion is almost as crazy as using electricity to produce hydrogen to produce electricity, as in the previous article. - Dave Smith Tue, 09 Oct 2007 09:20:04 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/weird-stuff/1037#comment-5927 This has to be a hoax. No one could really take this seriously. There is no address or base of operations on the site, and many of the pages are broken VBscript. They should have saved this for April 1st. - Danno Tue, 09 Oct 2007 08:46:22 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/weird-stuff/1037#comment-5925 A Porsche 911 = 530 Horsepower A VW GTI Turbo = 150 Horsepower Honda Civic Hybrid = 85 Horsepower Horse-Powered car = 1 Horsepower!! No offense, but I own a power drill that has almost as much torque as that baby! - Daniel Lunsford Tue, 09 Oct 2007 07:19:44 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/weird-stuff/1037#comment-5908 Um... did it occur to anyone to put the horse on the outside of the van? Say, in the front? with some ropes or something attached to the horse so you could control it from, say the seat of a wagon? - Tracy Mon, 08 Oct 2007 22:41:04 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/weird-stuff/1037#comment-5902 They are overlooking one major (well actually several) problem. Anyone who rides horses, will tell you that when trotting they regularly do enormous farts, so it could get rather smelly in that van.... ;D - rob Mon, 08 Oct 2007 15:54:46 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/weird-stuff/1037#comment-5899 I'm totally submitting my patent for the van that runs by putting this van inside a larger van. :) - Webster Mon, 08 Oct 2007 15:44:18 +0100
