Cars Can Now Go In Water

If it could go underwater it would completely out-do the need for aquariums :angry:there would probably be quite a big business in underwater car trips

Someday there has to be a car that can fly, float on water . And i dont think those days are very very far away. So that would lead upto air traffic controll as well. And once they commercialise cars that run on water ,maybegas stations on sea might start creeping up, Well,am i getting my imaginations a bit tooo loose ??? They might look like a fantasy,but are never impossible. Would be invented in course of time. Maybe w could enjoy the "water car" for the moment...

Yes, this is known for quite a long time...I think I heard it here on Xisto a while ago too...It is very interesting to me, how many things are invented nowadays and their only purpose is to entertain people who are technology freeks, because I really can't think of any good use of a car that would also be a boat. OK we could drive and go to water and then drive again..BUT think about the money that would have to be spent for us to own such a thing and the traffic that would make beacuse these cars wouldnt be fast and so on...I think building bridges is still the best way to do it;) Old fashioned..hehegreetz

If you have a car that can go underwater, think of all the damage this would do to the lake, sea, whatever you are in!

There are a couple other things to note:

as someone said earlier in the thread, you have to have oxygen for internal combustion, so you would need something to the surface anyways.

There are already engines that run on "water" - more precisely, they run on hydrogen, use oxygen (O2 prob again) and the only waste is pure water. The only thing wron with them is that you have to get the hydrogen from somewhere, usually from the electrosysis of water, which takes energy - more energy than you get back in electrical force from the "fuel-cell" engine.

comecially available sub-marine vehicles would be able to go places they shouldn't, something the american government would not like at all - and these vehicles would therefore probably never come into existance in the first place

humans are too arrogant about their technology.

I really don't see the point of a car being able to go in the water. I don't think it would look good cause there would be propellers stickout out of it. Also, all it would really be good for is fishing, because i doubt it could go very fast in water. And even so, how long could it stay in the water? It's bound to take some sort of damage or rust and sink. I wouldn't pay 900,000 for that, cause I could just buy a car and a boat, overall cheaper.

hey I found out that they now have cars that can go in water. I don't know if this has been out for a long time or not but I have seen this on TV the other day. The car I have seen on TV was said to be $900,000 to buy.

Well maybe there could be a car like that. Im not the type of person that knows a lot about cars. I heard that they have cars ment for all terrain that have huge floaties on the sides and back and front of the car. That detects when there in the water so then they get activated. Its is really cool. I wonder who thought of the idea? Looks like I will never know. I hate doing research. Its evil!

badd friggin **bottom**, there gonna be makin cars that go on fire here pretty soon... Lol. Jeeze, everything is so advanced nowa days -Uentil

Neato, as in we're advancing into technology really well. I guess they would be useful to take into the Theme Park Aquarium Dome and drive with the sharks for a cool tour... Other than that, waste of $900,000.

I totally agree

yya actually i think i saw one of those on the discovery channel on that monster garage. They had to make a car that could go into the water then can drive on the road. It was really neat because it would drive into the wahter then rotate its wheels then like a propellor came out then it would go wonder in the 3000 that car will be a piece of junk and be worth 500 dollars.

i accuallty heard of this today when i was driving home from hockey, it said on the radio that later tonight on channel 2 news or soemthing, cars that drive in water. Im like thats impossible, but when i got home i accuallty turned my t.v. on and watched the news... and i totally forgot about the car thing. so im watching and about 15 minutes later they start talking about the car being able to drive on water. I was shocked that this is possible... I was also frustrated, that the government was probably funding this escavade... and nothing is being done about job rates. Well thats cool that this could really happen.

Governments all over the place are messed up - some just more than others

 

what I really dont understand about the US, however, is how they claim to be the most profitable nation in the world, yet on the streets of washington DC - the capital of the "most profitable nation in the world", people die of hypothermia every night. And at the same time, we fund stupid projects. F*** capitalism.

[Thelaw 0]

I believe that this whole system is wrong. Government is tricking us in to things, and it's true about what you said. Fund stupid projects. Why do we need cars that drive on water. The went 90mil on that project lol. What we should worry about is War, and economy, also benefits for us americans. There will always be war so why not profit off of it. Also Economy so we can strength our borders our defense, and our nation. China is a good example for Economic Structre and War. But they are not considered Very economic. anyways back to the cars. I'll buy that for a dollar lol!

Also Economy so we can strength our borders our defense, and our nation.

 

there you are, the most powerful nation in the Earth's history (almost) and you are saying that you need to strengthen your borders and defence? from what? if you want to talk about strengthening your borders, you might want to add a little note about stopping blowing up other peoples borders, mainlands, lives, civilians... That is the kind of comment that gets the US stereotyped as an egocentric nation - which seems to be true for certain of its inhabitants. I will not say all, as that would be like saying all arabs are terrorists - yet another unfair stereotype.

 

And are you saying that China is not economic? Obviously, they are going to have some problems with oil comsuption, yet the US is still the nation that uses the most energ yper person - and then you go and talk about strengthening economy? something is wrong with your logic, I think...

 

Someone should make a vent about the US... What happened to the car discussion, anyways? this can not even be called a digression of the water-car subject...
