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.
At 5000 rpm it will be about one month...:cool:

2500 rpm =55??? 1700 rpm = 70 in my truck and the Elio is supposed to generate more Rotherham similar sized motors. I'd almost bet that we see 55 at less than 1,500 rpm. I know the numbers were made up but they didn't make much sense.

with the dual valve timing I suspect the rpm for a given speed will vary depending on which valve timing the Elio's computer is running

That is so cool. Thanks, Kuda. Now I know for sure - I hope they have a tram for us to take the tour in. That is one big plant! :) Z

I wanna ride in an Eliotram...with the Skyzmatic system! The tram should have 7 "cars"...one for each color & a gas cap on both sides...cuz sometimes, you really can please everyone! LOL Well, maybe not everyone HERE!!! LMAO ;)
