“Bus Hound” is an innovative bus created by specialists of the United Kingdom.
The vehicle uses products as fuel processing cow manure, which often causes a grin the inhabitants. Now, an unusual car may be treated with great respect, when she managed to set an absolute record speeds among passenger buses of the planet.
The other day in the English county of Bedfordshire were tested in whose time is “Bus Hound” (vehicle name is ironic reference to the supersonic car “Bloodhound SSC”) accelerated to one hundred twenty three and a half kilometers per hour.
The bus operates on biological methane, which obtained through bacterial anaerobic digestion cow manure in a bioreactor. The gas liquefies, after which it it becomes difficult to distinguish from liquid natural gas. “Bus Hound”has seven fuel tanks on the roof allowing the car to drive one refueling for a very long time.
Biomethane is considered one of the purest species today. fuel. Its use allows to reduce the extraction of natural gas and oil, and, in addition, the burning of methane from cow droppings prevents its transition to the greenhouse gases emitted in atmosphere and leading to the destruction of the earth.
To let the bus pass the speed mark of a hundred twenty-three kilometers per hour, manufacturers took off the factory limiter and upgraded car suspension. Bus of course with passengers will never go so fast. His experience the British have shown how promising green technologies are and how slightly they differ today in terms of convenience and functionality from traditional machines.
