Futuristic Cars

[Speaker]

in movies such as 'Minority Report' and 'I, Robot' there are cars that scale the walls... now my question is..what if you run out of gas/fuel/electriciy/energy...would you just fall..or what? i mean..if your car ever stalled... would you get out and push it up the sears tower?!?! cars have come along way..i mean...in magazines i was looking at at the orthedontist...the car scans ur eye's to see your hieght level when ur in the car to adjust the seat perfectly to your standards and have it more comfortable...

this car is called the Volvo YCC, look it up if you think im lying...

Maybe there magnetic or somthin

[Forged]

or they run off hydrogen fuel cells and you don't run out -_-

[Jiggy]

I thought Hydrogen ran out.

[raDixGhost]

ahaha that would suck. But i mean there must be warnings installed in the car that doesnt let you go in a wall if you dont have sufficient energy, or something like that.

Yeah kind of like those scooter things that balance, the gyro in it dosent work when you have low power.

[Speaker]

you talking about the ting that they have in the show frasier...two wheels...really expensive...

I would attactch a pic but I cant find one on google.... I think so

[Raven]

theyd probably do it with magnets.

Easily.

Probably some kind of magnetism, + if you were low on fuel lmao I wouldn't go climbing walls

[Above_70Percent]

Or maybe it's from a movie so it shouldn't make sense :/

All too true. And even if scientists find out how to make cars go up walls, don't you think they'd build a safe-guard against something like that? Another thing, wouldn't cars probably be flying by then? The human race has been dreaming about flying cars since the Jetsons.

There is already technology to make cool futuristic cars, but not the kind that drive up walls and shoot out grappling hooks. The cool stuff is what they can utilize as fuel. Take futuristic fuels for example, the kinds that we can't yet utilize. There are also doomsday predictions about how we're going to run out of fuel.

The funny thing about all of those doomsday predictions about us completely running out of fuel is that there are actually viable fuel alternatives being used, and technologies in the works fro more stuff.

Take methanol for example cheap, renewable, and water soluble so it's easy to put out. The problem is it burns light blue so you can't see it during the day, a problem that is being worked on currently by many people including some researchers I actually know.

So is this less powerful than gasoline i.e. will my car go fats if it runs on methanol? Indy car says yes, in fact you could end up with better performance from a methanol car.

And for those of you still wanting gasoline for some crazy reason there is something called Thermal Depolymerization Process or TDP. Basically garbage into oil, sewage into oil, agricultural waste into fuel. This process can also refine out other chemicals and mineral as well and take apart some bigger compounds that are a bitch to deal with by other methods.

Sorry I can't get the article in discover I need a password for that. btw one thing I notice is that very few people actually use references in this forum, there are of course exceptions. Links make your arguments seem better ppl just a reminder.
