The Elio Engine

KRAZY NUMBERS!!

Just an Idea. I know they won’t run at a constant speed.
I just picked some numbers to play with.

2500 RPM = 55 mph, To go 100k miles
100k/55 = 1818.18 hours to go 100k miles
1818.18/24 hours = 75.75 days to go 100K miles
2500 X 60 = 150K Revs. /Hr x 1818.18 Hr. = 277.727 million revolutions

None of this is real!!! Just for fun
Just to say it will be a while before we hear something. There are ways to accelerate this.

If they plan to run the thing to failure, wouldn't the best case senario be if we never heard anything? Just sayin

We sit on pins and needles, while the little engine that could, lasts about a million miles. That's a lot of hours, weeks and months.

Or, put that engine in my Elio, and I'll let you know when it fails. Unless the warranty runs out, then your on your own,
