Jan 5 2009Conceptual Hydrogen Vehicle Is Questionable To Say The Least, Stupid To Say A Little More
The Ozone is a conceptual hydrogen fuel cell vehicle that looks like a coffee can. I can only assume it's the brainchild of a design student that stayed up all night snorting Adderall the day before their semester-project was due.
The vehicle works on hydrogen powered fuel cells and looks futuristic in every way possible. The body is encased between two giant wheels controlled by separate motors which are powered by fuel cells, though this two seater looks more like a design picked straight out of fantasy due to its semi transparent glass casing and controlled by joystick.
Eh. Nice try, budding designer, but if this thing is so futuristic, where are the rockets? Things are going to float in the future, not roll. It's time for a change. I mean, shit's been rolling since Ug pushed his cave-bitch down a hill. Now for your homework assignment I want you to go home and watch some Jetsons.

Thanks to Carlos, who once made love to a chick with a jetpack on because he likes to live dangerously.

Pneumatic tube. (said it first)

I had a dream about this once and there was a talking cat and a kung fu master that would kick green skittles straight through the skulls of any perpetrators!
...What? I was dreaming again...oh crap this rubbermaid human in a can car is an actual concept?! Anyway, I have to say I am surprised that Daisy hasn't made a FAKE! comment yet. Come one Daisy, be who you are at all times.

... um... this... is... retarded...

I have a question. How do you hit the brakes without just continuing to roll right over the car in front of you? And who wants a semi-transparent windshield?

I think it's kinda brilliant. Can't figure out where I'd hang my mud-flaps with the girly silhouette on it, but we'll all have to make sacrifice for progress.

Was Carlos wearing the jetpack or the chick? The article is unclear.

A never ending stream of retardation flows from the nations "design schools", whatever that is.
We're constantly subjected to photoshop mockups that are referred to as "inventions" or "concepts" and then drooled over.
Where I come from, imaginary stuff isn't all that impressive. Hell, what kind of short sighted designer are you when you're making shit up and the best you can come up with is "it's powered by hydrogen fuel cells"? Why not say "it's powered by clean solar energy" or even "magical pixie dust"?
That's not even getting into the ridiculous impracticality of an unbalanced wheel design, which as #8 pointed out is going to make stopping an exercise in hampster wheel physics.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was working at the ministry of information, and got all his assignments VIA pneumatic tubes. One day he got frustrated and took all the paper on his desk and put it into a tube.

That's the best design they could come up with?....
I hope they don't get paid for that

This is a Pugeot, so nobody will ever buy one.
Where do you mount the spare tire?
Does the horn sound like a Cowbell?

@6 cant put coins in that

damnit i meant @5, totally ruined the joke

To bad it doesn't rape your ass and mouth while forcing you to jerk of two knobs just to get it moving.

Didn't Mr. Garrison make one of these on Southpark?
19. crazygeek - January 5, 2009 2:01 PM
Yes - more profound wisdom from (FAKE!) Daisy! The world makes sense again.
20. Sorry, had to do it. - January 5, 2009 2:09 PM
Where do you put the spare tire?

Its impossible to stay up all night snorting Xanax. It is, however, possible to stay up all night and come up with a shitty idea for an unrealistic car.
22. Mvivanc - January 5, 2009 3:43 PM
Imagine that thing crashing. You'll ride that if you like to have your head in pain.
Wooohoooooo i'd like to see 2 of those things in a Pneumatic tube accident.
PLASHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
23. CaptainMorgan - January 5, 2009 7:58 PM
It's from the French. What the hell do you expect?
It probably smells like cheese farts and runs on cholesterol and wine. In an accident, no air bags - just a little white flag (or fag) pops up to surrender.

So what happens if you hit roadkill?Does it roll on the glass and do you see it everytime you roll around.
Lame.I want a car with a built in band,no radio stations!
25. Jim - January 5, 2009 10:20 PM
Furthermore, if the driving gears were beneath the seat (like it looks), if you hit the gas going up a hill you'd more likely spin the seats inside the wheels than the wheels up the hill. Lame.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This caused me to have a fifteen hour long flashback of a scene from the movie Tender Dracula where Dracula was working as a cleric, seeking out sense offenders. He finds a puppy and does a forwards backflip off a motorcycle while shooting some of his old pals while they stand in a circle around him.
I woke up afterwards vomitting ghosts, possibly due to a pac man addiction at an early age.

This looks like the garbage can nerds get thrown down hills in cartoons futuristic style.

The summary mentioned that it is not futuristic due to the "big wheels" instead of "jets". I take it you've never seen star wars? LOTS of vehicles had wheels bigger than the rest of the vehicle (especially battle vehicles). Yes, I know, the movies are supposedly set "a long time ago", but they were using technology that would have been "futuristic" to us.
