Ping.
Will they take a Flobee with them in the Urbee to give each other hair cuts?
“With Urbee 2, more than 50 percent of the car will be 3D printed,”
I doubt that percentage.
I recently read an article in an aviation magazine about GE. GE just 3D printed a jet engine fuel nozzle. Prior to 3D printing, the nozzle was made from 21 cast parts. Now, it is printed in one piece. The new nozzle is is 33% lighter and much stronger. Amazing technology.
I doubt it can get 350 MPG.
This project is suffering from overreach. Just print a reasonable car like a SMART car and do it from 3D printing. Use off the shelf components wherever possible. Replace those components gradually with 3D printed components. Basically an open source linux car.
300 mpg, eh?
Interesting.
I’ll say
possible
but not if your engine has to pass EPA emissions standards
There’s a minimum speed limit on the interstates and I honestly doubt a 7 hp diesel will be able to maintain it on level ground or uphill.
