Coke Fuel

Coke FuelForget fossil fuels, forget bio-fuels – this could bee he future of transportation. Some nerds (Fritz Grobe and Stephen Voltz) made a bike that is powered by piston mechanism using hundreds of pieces of Mentos candy and Coke Zero.

You know what it's like if you drop a Mentos into a bottle of Coke. Well, the same technology has been used to make this bike move. It's a great idea. You can fill it up at a service station like any normal car, because all service stations sell Coke.

And if you get thirsty you can have a little drink from your fuel tank. You can't do that unless you use unleaded petrol (what?).

They posted a video of their efforts online which showed the contraption going more than 220 feet.

OK, it's not that far on one tank but with the price off petrol these days it'll still work out cheaper to use Panda Cola.
