Tomorrow's Car - An ultra efficient cross over vehicle that combines the best of both worlds; very efficient and space saving like a scooter but very comfortable and safe like a normal car, says Mr Frank Will, Senior Lecturer, Deakin University
The OVER7 design: A typical car engine wastes about 80 per cent of the fuel consumed. Only 20 per cent of the fuel’s energy is used to drive the car forward. The rest is lost as heat. He believes his invention – which he has named OVER7™ – represents a smarter approach to vehicle engine design. The system, which can be retrofitted, works by diverting waste heat to bring engine oil up to its optimal operating temperature. It was developed by researchers at Deakin University led by Mr Frank Will of the School of Engineering during his PhD project.
