A car powered by coffee

At an event held by a foreign food company (Co-operative Food), a coffee-fueled car, a Ford F100 pickup truck equipped with a special Bean Machine engine, drove at a speed of 65 miles per hour, making it the fastest coffee-fueled car.

Coffee for fuel? Strictly speaking, it is not coffee, but a by-product of coffee production, just like rice bran. This by-product, when heated, can decompose into hydrogen and carbon monoxide. And both of these things can burn, so they can naturally be used as car fuel. Of course, easier said than done, at least for now, the Bean Machine engine is more of a potential technology, and there is still a long way to go before people can drive to work every day with a cup of coffee in the fuel tank of their car.
