HUMAN ENERGY PLUS ELECTRICAL ENERGY PROVIDES MOBILITY AND STATIONARY
POWER
1.1 POWER LEVEL: Up to 2,500 Watts of human powered electrical generation
and up to 10 Kw-Hrs of stored electrical energy are combined to provide
both vehicle power (up to 50 Kw) and standby power up to 3 Kw supplied as
120 Volt AC. Prototypes have powered freezers and lights for days when
Utility power was unavailable.
1.2 SPEED OF OPERATION: The vehicle is designed for speeds in excess of 200
Kilometers per hour (125 MPH), although in most jurisdictions the maximum
speed allowed may be 50 K/Hr or less.
1.3 RANGE: The battery complement and the speed of operation along with
the amount of added human electrical generation will cause the range
to vary from 50 Km (30 miles) with a 2.5 Kw-Hr battery pack and no
additional generation up to 250 Km (150 Miles) using the 10 Kw-Hr battery
supplemented by human generation. Your results will vary with the speed
of operation.
1.4 BATTERIES: Basic model battery pack uses rugged AGM-type lead acid
batteries operating at 48 Volts DC with a stored energy of 2.5 Kw-Hrs.
Lithium Ion batteries with various chemistries depending upon the vehicle
purpose can be implemented up to 10 Kw-Hrs of stored energy or greater;
with standard low-voltage DC motors the stack voltage is 48 VDC nominal
while for more powerful AC motors the voltage can vary from 200 up to 500
or more volts DC.

Add a solar panel roof and you will have the world sold. This shit is dope.
cant wait to test this out during WINTER!
Cant hear the V8 cos of the music!!!!
I would love to take a ride in one of these, especially since my car has been down because it won't pass emissions test to get registered. America needs HumanCar!
I wish I could find some info on it, like how fast or far can you go with just using the pulling motion? Do you charge it? Or how long does it take to get power winding it like in the vid? Too many unknown for me to buy it.
I will build you one .
@@Gadget-Tree can u still build me one please ?
Cranking a car to turn on is an old concept dating back since the late Victorians and early Edwardians. They knew what they were up to. Great idea of you to take the cranking from the front of the car to doing it on the actual steering wheel. You make the Victorians proud (they were suspicious of the internal combustion). Great homage to the ancient (real classical) cars. Thanks for sharing and peace.
Yeah it's moved by weed
Can I ask, does rowing generate more energy input than cycling? Why go with a rowing action?
I guess more energy input but you will excert a lot lesser energy on your part(due to a much longer stick as compared to a bicycle pedel)
@MrPufins they do, on a car it's called an alternator. As the wheels spin, they recharge the starter battery. Hybrids have something a little more powerful, and a little closer to what you're thinking of. Whenever you go downhill or break in a hybrid it recharges the battery. The problem with a system like the one you're describing is that you still need to put the energy to get from A to B into the car, and not all of the energy can be recovered by a generator.
1:34 that squirrel was like "AHHHH!!! I don't want to be ran over by an air humping colonel sanders!"
I think this is a brilliant idea. Like some have said, doesn't look like it'd hold up in a crash, but it's just a concept. Brilliant idea with the electric motor. For all of you who wants to know how it would do going up hill? An electric motor has more torque then a gas motor. It would do just fine, unless it were a 3 mile hill. Then you might get a little tired. With big capacitors and decent batteries you could make this thing pretty much a beast! Love it!
This is amazing and so simple! It goes fast enough to do everyday things, like go to the supermarket, visit your friends or just have day out!
This is just simply amazing. This would help the world so much. It would help us to wean ourselves from the use of fossil fuels to power our vehicles which would lower energy costs around the world and possibly lower the USA's national debt or at least slow down our spending. And on the plus side, it would make the driver exercise and get into shape and falling asleep at the wheel would almost never happen in one of these. I would love to have one when they are available to the public.
@1:35 The squirrel is like "WHAT DAH, THAT'S NOT A CAR"
1:34 that squirrel almost became the first Human Car casualty.
This is revolutionary. I would buy one. Put a cab on it ofr rainy days and go to work. Great exercise, and only have to fuel up at a Resturant. NIce work!
@Sh4d0w94x There's a hand brake that gets the car moving after winding it. It also stops the car aside from moving it.
Thanks for proving the physics of momentum and gravity by showing the car going only downhill
great for commuting and with all that Carbon fiber and fiberglass, its truly lightweight!
I want to see this on the flat ground. I noticed it is all filmed in the mountains going down hill. I think this car is cool and works but I happen to know a little about flywheels and kinetic energy and this movie is a little deceiving to me. But still all in all a good idea and great looking car. In real life and flat ground to gain and sustain your speed like this video shows you would have to pump the handles a lot more that this movie shows.
Alan Riser I see no reason to think that this video is deceptive, or to claim that it only filmed the car going downhill. The vehicle also uses a battery (as explained in the description) so it does not need to be pumped constantly.
This vehicle was also featured in a National Geographic video and I believe they said it could go over 90 mph on flat ground and 30 mph up steep hills.
I looked on the official website and it can go over 60 miles per hour even around corners and can go faster depending on the people driving it and their speed needs. :)
Bicycle will always remain greatest invention
I think it's very innovative. Having batteries, electric motor and human power combined into one is quite efficient. This is something that should be incorporated in city vehicles. Imagine the great shape we'd be all in and better air.
It seems both a lot of fun and poetic. And it's great cause it keeps energy, you don't have to "row" all the time.
I see the birth of a new sport coming: HumanCar Racing, driven by two. It will be fun and environment-friendly. :j
@nsa162 I could be wrong but I think its street legal because its classed as a bicycle and not as a motor vehicle (non combustion engine) thus having no need to install seat belts but depending what country you are from you are required to wear helmets if this is the case...like I said I could be wrong but that's my take on it
That hing has a 5 star crashtest safety rating too!
the video makes me want to cry... the musice is beautiful, the people are friendly, they arent doing this for money, you can actually see something green, and the video can not offend people in any way
And with a few cranks it rolls down a mountain road, amazing!!
But really, I know they drove on some flat roads but show it going up any kind of incline then I'll be impressed.
i want one! looks like it would be amazing to take out on a nice summer day and it can help people work out
@TheKaos90 no i think you hold a clutch then pull that lever many times, which has a high gear ratio sorta like the hardest gear on a mountain bike, once the shaft gets to high rpm let go of the clutch and your gone
great work! It may just be the start of something new!
@huber2008 There is a limit to how fast it goes. The motor is only so powerful, but a team of rowers could probably get quite far before being wiped out.
Great starter concept. Now all it needs are some refinements like windshield, windows, roof, heavier chassis, bigger wheels and tires, seatbelts, airbags, air conditioning, heaters, defrosters, CD player, supercharged V8........
Congratulations I feel very proudly of this investo the regards dese Argentina
what happens if you are differently abled or not physically fit or incapacitated in some way?
its a really cool idea and a nice move towards freeing us of oil dependency.
Watching this in 2016!
@Ekaterinburg13 It's glued on.
That just looks like a fun little car!!!
So cool! This would keep us all in shape for sure!
It's great that something like this is coming out and this is a great alternative energy auto...but the question i have is "What happens to you if you get into an accident?"
i think maybe have it so the passenger can generate the power while the other drives to increase efficiency or have like modes so either both or just one does the generating
@yoJedPaul you notice how he pulled back on the handle bar things. It has an electric motor that he charges up with drives the car. It pretty sad you can't see from what the video shows
WOW!!!!!!!!
1) save gas
2) have cleaner air
3) good exercise
4) sweats out the alcohol when your drunk
5) shit load of fun
2023… yo your grandpas is ripped ….. kid: yeah he’s a humanncar😂
this is freaken awesome .....I want one
This is great for the enviorment, economy and even health.
guy in the car at 0:12 : Weeee i'm riding.....what the FIRETRUCK ! where's the brake!!!
It goes great downhill. I wanna see them go back the way they came!!!
Very awesome work! Obviously a prototype, but nonetheless it gets you from point A to point B without having to worry about gasoline prices.
That’s awesome! Is there a practical reason for the rowing action as apposed to foot peddles and a regular steering wheel, which would seem to be a little more approachable the average consumer?
This is a beautiful concept and the moment i get enough money to buy one i definitely will. Maybe in the mean time people who do have money will buy enough of them to bring the price down. Anyway absolutely brilliant, others see problems you see solutions
What a great invention. This is so cool! congratulations....
@MajorMiya Nah dude, aftermarket. It's got Stage 2 exhaust as well
this is straight out of the 'flintsons meet the jetsons' movie lol
Cool idea! Although I have to say, this concept looks like it works only for flat and downhill; uphill not so much
What about a bus for small trips- sightseeing in city and country side. (lightweight bus body up to-35 passengers ) We have lightweight composite body's available . Would be pleased to work with Humancar on such a concept of an (hybrid) human powered bus (tourism and sports)
On way to totally friendly environment cars, this is just the beggining! :)
give this man the nobel prize.
ur awesome man, the earth needs more ppl like u!!!!
This thing is pretty impressive.
dude i think that the Car is supper cool man ! think about it you will never go over the speed limit which means no more tickets!!! i wonder if we are really gonna see it in the future.....
love the background music too lol dubstep nice.
nice rims, rollin in style
Sort of like the old railroad pumper cars, except you don't have to pump all the time. I like it.
this is very cool!
and a great invention
Those roads would be hella creepy to drive at night with the human car.
I can just imagine the Grudge girl popping out somewhere and your there trying to regenerate power before all lights are gone!
Gotta make it home before it's too late! Ah!!!
you can exercise while riding a car, amazing
imagine Jeremy Clarkson going "0-60 in a matter of...wait still clocking!"
dude that is awesome!!!!!!!! i want one of these!!!
Nice opening track!
Santa Claus here seems pretty happy with his new slay!
@dehBix I realized that as well, pretty good track too.
Ah Grandpa wants a Motor Soap Box Car for Christmas lol. A new 1001 ways to die.
@lakazev if you went to the link in the title you might be able to find the answer to all these questions you're asking.
Well, The important thing heres in order to meke it competitive with traditional cars are the Power and, the Weight/Power ratio...
@grimtendo in the description it says how fast it can go..apparently 100 mph max which is more then enough really.
How's it work? On a coil spring, like the pull back and release toy cars of childhood? Cool idea!
Your arms will get pretty beast that way!
That's amazing! Keep on inventin for a better world
only a few questions, what about monitoring the speed? quick adjustments to speed such as braking? Is it powered completely by the person or is it capable of say a solar charge? could it survive a crash? basic stuff but very interesting concept
@trueshinchan Flintstone or not, that is AWSOME !
@cvsnowy its like 50 dollars preorder for the production model
If anyone wants to know the price it is 15,500 (I think that's just for the 2010 model)
taken from their website.
you can get your gtl on
gym- get ripped arms by pumping steering wheel
tan- no roof (perfect crisp tan)
laundry-even wet cloths get dry with that natural air conditioner
This is awesome!! good idea! i will get 1 of these when they are out man
So freakin sick!! I want to make one!!
@Ekaterinburg13 the reason his hat stayed on is because they were only going 10mph? but its a great start...
Where do you put The Club?
i'd love to have a car like this... no need to worry about gas! THUMBS UP!!!
WoW this makes me so happy for the future! why dont we just make some Flinstone cars and then we will be perfect! this just reminds me of a toy i used to have that all you do is winde up and then it goes by itself for like 10 feet.
@MrAlekz it says equivalant so it is all human power
Nice! This world is evolving quick...
They should invent something with a motor in it that runs of off gasoline! That would be genius!
Hope we can get human powered jetpacks soon.
I really want this vehicle.
that looks like so much fun to drive around! I would love to go on a drive with you guys! I can't wait to show this video to my dad. He'd get such a kick out of this invention. I am wondering if it puts any strain on the back with the movement you need to make to get it going.
THATS THE COOLEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!!!
The Prof. looks like the epitome of the crazy cartoon scientist... I expect him to have a ship in his basement that floats by balloon power and is propelled by a giant fan.
Seriously, though I kinda wish I had one of these.
This guy is a genius, I think it's pretty cool.
omg imagine your're late for work. dude. youd also be sweaty from all that pumping
