Car 'one horsepower'

Inventor Abdolhadi Mirhejazi of Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and his company Fleethorse have successfully built the 'one horse' car literally, and began to perform at many exhibitions. , fair.

Several designs of Naturmobile

The car is called Naturmobile , weighs 300 kg, 5.75m long, 2.75m high, 1.62m wide and has a design speed of 60 - 80 km / hour. For horses, this is too fast and it can only be done on short distances. However, with Naturmobile, thanks to the horse drive mechanism, it only needs to run no more than 20 km / hour for the car to reach high speed. It is similar to cyclists who can reach speeds of up to 60 km / h, while if he runs, he cannot do this.

Naturmobile is like a regular car, with steering wheel, accelerator, brake, air conditioner, roof and glass door . Of course there are grass and water for horses. The interesting thing is that Naturmobile driver does not need to get a horse whip, just use the foot of the gas pedal, the electric motor will 'spread' the track under the horse's foot. When the horse goes at a normal pace, the transmission will not be activated, the car moves with the horse itself.

Not only has the road ' function ' , Naturmobile electric engine also plays a role in reserve when the horse is tired, the driver 'disconnects' the track and then the vehicle operates by electric motor . In order to help the driver check the condition of the "live engine", people installed horses' temperature sensors, its heart rate as well as measuring the temperature in the horse compartment.

In March 2008, Abdolhadi Mirhejazi brought the Naturmobile to an international creative exhibition (Salon International des Inventions) in Geneva, Switzerland. Naturmobile immediately captured the sympathy of the exhibition judges and was awarded a gold medal. This is not really the encouragement for people to return to the old times, but first of all the judges highly appreciate the 'real horse engine' because of its environmental friendliness, noise and steam Its lead at rest areas.

Naturmobile with horse-electric engine is very suitable for sightseeing in the city, or transporting visitors from the airport to the hotel or similar tours. Therefore, Fleethorse is planning to design some of these vehicles such as Naturbus and Naturminibus (passengers sitting on the roof of the car) as well as some other types to serve the post office to transport letters, or to transport small shipments. .

This is a story of the future, and before Abdolhadi Mirhejazi is expected to bring the Naturmobile to perform at the New Product Expo (Invention and New Product Exposition) in Pittsburgh, USA, from 11-14 July 2008.
