The Edible Race Car
If it's impossible for a race car to be "good" for
the environment, maybe it can at least be a little friendlier.
Meet the WorldFirst F3 project, a Formula 3 race car developed
at England's University of Warwick: it has carrot fibers in
its steering wheel, potato starch in its side mirrors and
cashew-nut shells in its brake pads. The whole thing runs
on a biodiesel mix of chocolate and vegetable oil.
In a small effort to make the car even greener than it already
is, the designers coated the radiator in a substance that
converts ozone emissions into oxygen
