The first car to be driven by coffee

Nowadays, coffee powers the majority of us, but have you ever considered that one cup may power a whole car? The "Car-puccino" was created in 2010. It was the first vehicle to travel from London to Manchester using just coffee beans, or more specifically, 11,000 espresso equivalents. The "Car-puccino" has a top speed of 60 mph and travels one mile for every 56 espressos on average. Coffee granules contain a little quantity of carbon, a substance necessary for powering an automobile, which explains how this amazing piece of technology functions.

It will undoubtedly not make commuting any less tedious, and it will cost 25–50 times as much as operating a car on gasoline. The crew behind "Bang Goes the Theory" on BBC1 purchased the £400 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco for the vehicle's similarity to the "DMC DeLorean" from the Back to the Future film. For those of you who care about the environment, the automobile used coffee grounds that the neighborhood coffee shops gave to the project. The old Volkswagen Scirocco was powered by these coffee grounds, which were converted into pellets and put into a charcoal boiler on the back of the vehicle. After being heated, the gases from the charcoal boiler were filtered and utilized to power the Scirocco. Even though it had multiple breakdowns and took nearly 10 hours to get from London to Manchester, the journey was a triumph and go down in history.
