This Car Runs on Saltwater and Has a Range of 1000km

We know the company nanoFlowcell AG has been working on whacky concepts but all of them are to serve one purpose - working towards the betterment of the environment. The company had revealed their first concept car at the Geneva Motorshow last year called the e-Sportlimousine and this year there's another one and it gets its energy from saltwater!

It's called the Quantino and is smaller than the e-Sportslimousine which has now been christened as the Quant F. The Quantino is a smaller, more affordable model, with a rated voltage of only 48 Volts which allows it to achieve a power output of four times 25 kW. Well, this roughly corresponds to 136bhp, through a combination of a nanoFlowcell buffer system and electric motors.

According to the company this set-up provides the Quantino with a top speed of over 200 km/h in all-electric mode and a range of over 1000 km. Impressive right! The car is more like a hatchback (though the company says it's a crossover) and doesn't even cross the 4 metre mark, yet is spacious enough to seat 4 people.


The Quantino comes with two 175-litre tanks, and hence is able to carry 350 litres of ionic liquid in total - one tank with a positive charge and one with a negative charge. Refueling is done by filling the two tanks simultaneously, each with a different fluid and we know when salt dissolves in water, it comes apart into ions with positive and negative electrical charge and this is what powers the Quantino.

This new saltwater-powered car will be, as nanoFlowcell states, affordable. They also say that this is not just a concept but they plan to bring it out this year and are only awaiting road approval but we will get more details about the car when it's unveiled at Geneva next week.

Good, at least petrol ki jhanjhat se mukti milegi. Although i highly doubt the potential of the vehicle.

Then we should buy that technology and do it here, what the article claims is simply amazing! :)

you think it is that simple? the oil mafia will go to any extent to wipe out competition, and their reach is global irrespective of countries and governments.

@DRAY

I was also thinking the same thing. The Oil cartel along with the existing vehicle makers will make their best possible attempts to kill the concept, if it is what as per the makers of this car. The Govts even if they are not oil producing one like us, will also act with them to kill it, otherwise where they will get their excise and revenue and all this? What will happen to the existing car maker's investments?

But major research is going on all over the world for alternative energy!

Great!!!
It looks very cute :smitten:
I think either Honda or Nissan has a similar hatchback, I forgot the model's name though.
How long does it take to touch 0-200kmph speed?
And what 're the dangers of having saltwater or ionic liquid as the fuel?

Aahh... another water car. But this one is backed up with some science.

You are an engineer, you tell us! :)

Or just admit that you passed by 'tukli'-ing. :whistle:

This forum is full of engineers, and ergo the plight of pdf. Lolzz
I see corrosion of engines as an issue, but who cares as long as the cars 're clean (environment friendly) and silent.
But what about its acceleration? I am not automobile engineer. :)

No nooohh
No tukli-ing :fie:
