Title: Re: What a barn find - The very first Porsche Post by Dave on 01/28/14 at 03:29:29 Pretty cool. I read a book about Dr. Ferdinand Porsche and his designs. He had designed a land train of electric cars that connected together and had electric motors in the wheel hubs. You would connect the cars together and each car would drive itself....I forget what the generator power source was. He also had designed 2 humongus tanks for Hitler when he was forced into that design field. The tanks were so big that buildings would crumble as they drove by. The tanks could be connected to each other by wires, and you could seal one of them up and drive it underwater to cross a river while the other one sat on the bank and generated the electric power......then power the wet one up to drive the other one across. |
