Building carbon capture tech into a car is peak marketing wankery.
They’re phrasing it like it’s carbon negative. It’s not.
I mean… I guess theoretically if you could keep a tank of algae or some other microbe that utilizes carbon dioxide alive in some kind of cell that you pass air intake through while driving the car then while it’s not actively producing CO2 from burning fuel it could be carbon negative but… I’d sure like to see some papers on how well this “microalgae” handles different environments and like… the movement of the vehicle.
“Two rotor rotary turbo engine with a motor and battery” sounds like the mechanic equivalent of the science word salad thrown around in medical dramas.
It’s a rotary engine Mazda is famous for paired with an electric motor.
Wake me up when it’s got a nuclear power plant.
We got Mr Fusion like 10 years ago, this is old tech.
I’m rather excited to see this rotary range extender.
TFW it’s just got a regular old gas powered generator in it or something stupid.
Mazda really lost it, unfortunately…
