2057 Toyota BioMobile Mecha Concept

Running on pollutants? Not in this universe, it’s thermodynamically impossible to use pollutants to power a car. Unless those pollutants are the components of gasoline(or some other equally volatile compounds) and HIGHLY, HIGHLY concentrated in the atmosphere. However, there is no way in the universe to obtain (chemical)energy from CO2 in the atmosphere.

Thermo:
Your assumption that it runs on CO2 seems pretty dumb, considering it was not mentioned in the article, and is not commonly considered a pollutant. Furthermore, to think that CO2 cannot produce energy is also incorrect (think photosynthesis.) So by your logic, plants are ‘thermodynamically impossible’ right? CO2 alone would of course not fuel a car, just as gasoline alone won’t. It uses oxygen to burn, and with modern engines, and future pollution, you can’t take it for granted.

Richard Bandler long held that before his death, that someone would have found a way to clean the pollution out of the air and sell it. Looks like we are one step closer. Despite this being more fanciful than even their concept car, It is great to see progress in this direction.

Please go learn, experiment and don’t take science as gospel. What we ‘know’ is often just be where we got tired of debating it. Challenge those who came before you, but respect them. We have come along way baby.

In the year 2057, people will still be driving naturally aspirated vehicles with fossil fuel-powered internal combustion engines.

Well, maybe not, but it’s more likely than the idea presented by Toyota.

Good ideas

I just can’t get passed the fact that I will be in my 70’s when this thing comes out. I’ll be lucky if I can use a walker, much less drive this car.

Humanity hasn’t been able to progress much because of the Oil industry and because of some political influence . Energy is still controlled by the few, and they will stop anyone that is a threat to their billion dollar industry. I looked into the history of alternative fuels and free energy. Times are changing fast and global warming has brought a new perspective to the issue’s of the earth. Soon there will be a new age where humanity is not held back by the corrupted. Yes i do believe that this Mecha concept is totally possible, by 2057. Nano tech is quickly progressing and will make the impossible, possible.

way too much space cramp were not in space age yet quite think of
