Holy Smoke Batman! WTF?

Wed Feb 26, 2003 7:39 am

It's an air-cooled bong

whatcha got there is one of those dangfangled Flux-Capacitors. Just getter up to 88 mile per hour, (good luck!) and 1.21 Jigawatts later your back in time. If it were so you then could pick up a classic bug brand new!

No no, I got it. It's a 4 barreled Mr. coffee!, or a 4 at once coffee can opener! Well actually I don't know, it looks like some sort of electric engine, does it have a gas tank? That is by far the strangest thing I have ever seen!

I think it's A Big Ass turn signal relay. The 4 contact type. Very hard to find.

Isn't that VW's first attempt at an electric engine, circa 1943? It was just about ready for market when the war came along.

Where do the hamsters go?

Wed Feb 26, 2003 4:25 pm

Does it run? That is a f 'ed up looking engine

Wed Feb 26, 2003 4:26 pm

You actually own this thing?
In my opinion, this is the all time weirdest modification of a VW engine I have ever seen!
Is that some sort of carburator at the center?
If so, it looks like a 2 stroke engine of some kind. If not, I have no F'n idea.

As long as I could mount a 4 tip Monza exaust on it. LOL!

Wed Feb 26, 2003 7:34 pm

Im going with the "Flux-Capacitors" guess. That looks like what it is to me????????? Like I know?? WTF is it??? I see a coil, some sort of ignition system(although I dont see any kind of plug wires or reminence of plugs). Some sort of fuel distribution system, I think...? Whats that mounted to the fire wall? Two amps??? What kind of heads fit on those cylinders? And what valves are in there? Reed valve??? Wierdest damn thing Ive ever seen in a VW. I want to know if it runs?

hey, i got a tow bar. come pick my ass up and let's go get us some wartime wagens!

Wed Feb 26, 2003 9:03 pm

It, look like a home make engine.
it works??

I think that the guy who make it have not a good result, and then he sold it.

What do you think???

Wed Feb 26, 2003 9:05 pm

Back in Time maybe I think it is what it is and that is what it is. What is it?
Air Cooled bong HMMM

Wed Feb 26, 2003 9:07 pm

well the case is deffinatly VW but from there who knows? i want it!

Wed Feb 26, 2003 9:14 pm

hey any of you guys ever hear about guys trying to make hydrogen motors? they run off water, something makes an electrical charge and seperates the oxygen from the hydrogen and that leaves the motor to use hydrogen for internal combustion. i wonder if thats what this is?

Wed Feb 26, 2003 10:40 pm

If so, you have an impossible perpetual motion machine. It takes WAY more energy to dissociate the H2 and O from the H2O than you get out by burning them.
Hey, that's the problem with the so-called Hydrogen fueled car. Where do you get the Hydrogen from? It is only clean running in the final stage of burning or fuel-celling the H2 with O2. You need to use either chemical energy from fossil fuels or electrical energy from Nuclear power to make the H2, and that's where the pollution is.

Wed Mar 05, 2003 9:29 pm
