NanoFlowcell AG is the name behind the exquisite Quant E-SportLimousine, but also the name behind a serious upgrade associated with the automotive industry. The last decade has brought in a series of innovations in the automotive industry. Some of them are not so impressive and were expected, especially when it comes to petrol heads. Some others were quite surprising. There are no doubts that the automotive industry is becoming cleaner and cleaner. But then, amazing releases hit the market at every few years to give everyone a jaw breaking sensation. This is what NanoFlowcell AG had in mind too.
The new Quant model was introduced in 2014 and is not an electric or hybrid model. Instead, it works with saltwater. It represents an actual upgrade of this industry and threatens to take it to the next level. Thinking that this is only a concept? You are wrong! This car has just become street legal in Europe, so it is already driving around public roads. It is expected to show up in Germany anytime soon, then spread around the entire Europe. Besides, this is the first saltwater vehicle certified for use with no risks at all. But what is its secret?
This idea was initially introduced by John Kanzius. His experiments were convincing enough, yet no one really took him seriously. Until a few years ago, when the chemists at the Penn State University have decided to come up with their own experiments. Surprisingly enough for them, it seems that the saltwater could, indeed, be ignited and burnt. Flames can easily exceed 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The reasons behind so many misconceptions were quite obvious. After all, no one expects saltwater to burn because otherwise, the entire saltwater in the world would end up in a huge flame whenever someone drops the first cigarette. However, the secret is in the hydrogen and the disturbed molecules affected by a radio frequency generator.
The outstanding Quant model does not really operate by these principles though, yet they are similar. In simple words, the saltwater used as fuel is taken through a thick membrane, which comes up with an electric charge. The electricity is stored and distributed later on when needed. The car does not come with one, but with four electric engines. As for the actual water, it is stored in a 200 liter tank. You can cover around 373 miles with a full tank of… saltwater.
The overall performance is not to be ignored either – less than 3 seconds from 0 to 60MPH and a top speed that exceeds 217MPH. The car looks like it has just landed from the future too. It is far from those classic electric cars with blue or white headlights. Instead, it is an authentic supercar that simply does not pollute. The series production is under discussion these days. NanoFlowcell AG claims that Quant E-SportLimousine is only the beginning though. The potential of this company is greater than that, especially when it comes to innovative energy supplies for all kinds of industries – aviation, rail, maritime and so on.
