I was snooping around on the web and found an air powered car, and a car powered by used vegetable oil.

What about hydrogen and nuclear?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">My only mods have been to the air-intake and oil filtration systems. I cut out the "snow screens" in the intake snorkel. These tend to get clogged up and are hard to clean (although it doesn't even say to do so in the manual). It's easier just to change the air filter more frequently. I also have a couple after market air filter elements, which I alternate. When I take one out to clean it I replace it with the other. I have K&N and Piper-X elements for the OEM air box. You can read about both of these at Fred's. A lot of people run the Piper-X cone filter, too.Originally posted by Brock:
going off topic...
dilettante I have been all over Fred's and am trying to get all the info I can on the TDI. Have you done any mods to yours? Any you would really recommend or not recommend?
by the way I am registered as "nevermab" over on tdiclub.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">The big question is *why* make one? Just so you can have hydrogen to shove into an electric car? If you directly charged batteries instead, you'd need half the electricity to drive any distance.Originally posted by star882:
Why not make a hydrogen generator that uses water and electrcity?
Both items are common at home, so why not make one?
