Car runs on two AA batteries

A new way to destroy the earth had been created by Panasonic. If car smoke etc wont destroy the earth. Dissused batterys will...

Weighing 18.5kg, OxyRide can drive for 1.23km with a 50kg passenger, or travel 65m in 74 seconds on fresh cells, claims Panasonic.

Developed to promote the firm's AA Digital Xtreme Power (DXP) disposable camera batteries, the cells use a modified alkaline chemistry, with nickel hydroxide and other undisclosed 'active elements' added to the standard manganese dioxide electrode.

"A new vacuum pouring technology allows inserting a higher quantity of electrolyte in the battery," said the firm.

Capacity is up. "Testing indicated that in digital cameras, the batteries last about two times longer than alkaline dry cells," said Panasonic, and with "1,000mW continuous discharge, the batteries on average last 1.5 times longer".

DXP cells will be available in Europe early next year, part of a range dubbed OxyRide.

No. Its not supercharged...
