Kusukela ebuntwaneni, siye safundiswa ukuthi umlilo kagesi kufanele ulwiswe nanoma yini ngaphandle kwamanzi. Kodwa-ke, njengoba kunezimoto eziningi zikagesi kanye nemibiko yomlilo evelayo, sibonile ukuthi ukukhethwa kwabacimi bomlilo ukulwa nawo empeleni ... amanzi. Bheka isibonelo salokhu BMW i8.
Icala lenzeka eNetherlands lapho iBMW i8, i-plug-in hybrid, iqala ukubhema edokodweni isongela ukuvutha. Lapho befika endaweni yesigameko, ngenxa yamakhemikhali amaningi (futhi avutha kakhulu) izakhi ezakha ibhethri, izicishamlilo zanquma ukuthi ukucima umlilo kwakudingeka uphendukele ezinyathelweni "zokudala".
Isixazululo esitholakele kwaba ukucwilisa i-BMW i8 esitsheni esigcwele amanzi amahora angama-24. Lokhu kwenzelwa ukuthi ibhethri nezingxenye zalo ezihlukene kuphole, ngaleyo ndlela kugwenywe ukuthungela kabusha okungenzeka ukuthi sekuqala ukuba yinto evamile ezimotweni zikagesi.
Ungacisha kanjani umlilo ku-tram? Kuchaza uTesla
Kungase kubonakale kuwubuhlanya ukuzama ukucisha umlilo kagesi ngamanzi, ikakhulukazi uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi lona ukhondukta kagesi omkhulu. Kodwa-ke, kubonakala sengathi le nqubo iyona efanele, futhi ngisho noTesla udwebe ibhukwana elibonisa amanzi njengendlela engcono kakhulu yokulwa nomlilo othinta ibhethri eliphezulu.

Ngokusho komkhiqizo waseMelika: "Uma ibhethri ibamba umlilo, ibhekene namazinga okushisa aphezulu noma ikhiqiza ukushisa noma amagesi, ipholise usebenzisa amanzi amaningi." Ngokusho kukaTesla, ukucisha umlilo ngokuphelele nokupholisa ibhethri kungase kudinge ukusetshenziswa kwamanzi afinyelela kumalitha angu-3000 (cishe amalitha ayi-11 356!).
U-Tesla ungumgqugquzeli onjalo wokusebenzisa amanzi ukulwa nomlilo ongase ube khona kumamodeli awo ukuthi uthi ukusetshenziswa kwezinye izindlela kufanele kusetshenziswe kuphela kuze kube yilapho amanzi etholakala. Lo mkhiqizo uphinde uxwayise ngokuthi ukuqedwa ngokuphelele komlilo kungathatha amahora angama-24, weluleka ukuthi imoto ishiywe "ivalelwe yodwa".
