A car which was built by British engineers and runs entirely on coffee beans broke the world speed record for a car powered by organic waste, the Daily Mail reported.

Earlier this month the modified Rover SD1 averaged 66.5mph at the Elvington Race Track, smashing the previous record of 47mph achieved by a U.S. team that built a car fuelled by wood pellets.

Engineer Martin Bacon, with the Teesdale Conservation Volunteers of Durham, stripped out the old car and refitted it with a 'gasifier' and filters, which turn waste coffee granules into energy to drive the engine.（點擊英國《每日郵報》查看原文）

咖啡動力汽車破紀錄

?????? 據(jù)英國《每日郵報》報道，英國工程師打造了一輛使用純咖啡豆產(chǎn)生動力的汽車，且速度打破了有機廢料動力汽車的世界紀錄。

?????? 本月初，在埃爾溫頓一條跑道上，這款型號為Rover SD1的咖啡動力汽車以平均66.5英里/小時（約107公里/小時）的時速打破了紀錄，先前紀錄保持者是美國一個團隊打造的以木材燃燒為動力的汽車，其時速達47英里/小時（約76公里/小時）。

?????? 工程師馬丁?培根和達勒姆郡蒂斯河谷保護志愿者協(xié)會一同改造了這輛舊車，換掉了外殼，并為其裝上氣化器和過濾器，將咖啡都轉化為氣體從而變成汽車引擎動力。
