A group of researchers at MIT may have struck upon a new formula that could help revolutionize the car industry. The secret sauce, nicknamed “Cambridge crude”, looks like crude oil, but is actually the very opposite of crude oil. If found effective, this black sludge will double the range of electric cars and will make petroleum obsolete. Much of today’s electric cars consist of materials that provide structural support, but no power whatsoever. This new formula will vastly improve rechargeable batteries by putting more of the deadweight into action. Although I am skeptical of electric cars, I do agree we need to find alternate more efficient ways to power our vehicles. This “Cambridge crude” could be the answer to our need for alternate fuel demands.
What exactly is the "Cambridge crude" made out of? Is this new alternate fuel environmentally friendly?
ReplyDeleteWill this be an ideal way to make new electric cars? How much of this "Cambridge Crude" do we have?
ReplyDeleteThey did not release what the "Cambridge Crude" ingredients consisted of. This could be on the cutting edge of new electric cars. The amount of the crude was undisclosed, I'm sure it was enough to do effective testing.
ReplyDeleteIf this “Cambridge crude” could help us in any means possible I’d be all for it. However, how can we be expected to latch onto a solution if MIT won’t give us enough details? Do we have enough resources for this to be replenish-able? How in specifics will this be beneficial to our environment? Will it cost more than present solutions we have available? Have they done enough research to show that this “Cambridge crude” is indeed environmentally friendly even if some ignorant accidents such as spilling it? I’m a firm believer in “seeing is believing” and I personally wouldn’t get my hopes up if they don’t bother to reveal much details.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Khoi, there are too many unknowns about this "Cambridge Crude". If they are withholding so much information, then it must be bad or toxic or something. Because if it was safe and beneficial, they wouldn't keep us in the dark.
