Pathetic effort, the whole car will be toast once the engine is started. Wood and heat is a bad combination.

Don't know what u studied but u reason like an engineer. Very good point.

...the world has drastically changed, Nigeria must change with it or perish. A wooden car or backward innovation is NEVER an alternative to highly sophisticated transportation system like Hyperloop. Though I appreciate his skills, I am just not impressed...

When the exhaust pipe heats up, the kind fire wey the car go catch eh.

You guys forget that the first airplanes were made out of wood and the second commenter, if you are an open minded engineer, you will probably know that there are heat treatments for wood. Sometime you have to think outside the box.

ganiyu26:

Not good point bro, do u remember the part wr they tot us that woods are bad conductor of heat? Am also sure if the inner is lag with something like fibre nothing will happen to the wood. Good innovation there sourcing local material for it idea!

oweniwe:
I'm trying to imagine how the car will look like after a front, rear or side impact.

How the wood will stay in place at 100km.... Cos vibration of the body will vibrate some nails out of the frame.

Im not hating o. Dem try.

He first saw pictures of this car on Facebook but was lucky today to actually see the car. Made in Bida, Niger State. Government should come to the technical n financial aid of the brain behind this piece for advance development.

I don't know why Nigerians are easily deceived by grammar. Wood can get hot and not burn as long as there's no naked flame. Even fuel can get really warm and not catch fire. Turn on a minimum of 4kva gen for 6 hours, put ur hand in the diesel or petrol and it will be warm, really warm.

It's possible to have a wooden car with accurate protection.

Don't be a pessimist sir.

U got it wrong bro. And I did not see any jaw breaking words in his comment that will throw me off balance and be deceived and indeed I look at people with high penchant for unfamilliar words as clowns even if their opinions are reasonable. Back to the topic. First, I will like to let u know that I'm an engineer by training. I applauded the poster which I had quoted for the fact that he was very fast in identifying the likely limitation of the so called invention. Anybody with little idea of thermal conductivity of materials has no reason to counter his opinion. This is for the fact that metals, by their nature, are good conductors of heat and this property is of utmost importance in its use for heat-related systems. When metals are heated at one end, the heat is easily transfered to other parts and this has the effect of easily dissipating the heat to the environment depending on the ambient temp. The final effect is lower temperature on the metal. Have u ever heard of heat sink? Do u know the integral part of heat sink? The wood, on the other hand cannot conduct heat and as such, when heat is applied at one end, the heat can't be distributed to other part to facilitate easy dissipation and this result in excessive heat at that point. The effect of this is that the wood fibres are easily weakened if not burnt. The issue of wood will not burn if it is not exposed to naked flame is also not tenable in the field of thermodynamics. A quick experiment; go to any nearby carpenter, get some wood chaffs or saw dust. Put them inside a pot placed on fire and allow it for a moment. U will agree with me that the wood chaff will easily get roasted when compared to metal fillings. So guy, get ur facts right before u label anyone a pessimist.

Ahn ahn guy see as you wan fall my hand. Me sef go school o. The car could be all metal and wood used to cover up the metal (with exception of the engine area) to make it like it's all wooden.

phillthy:


You both are wrong. That wood is a conductor of heat does not necessarily mean it will go up in flames...

What if the heat is prevented from getting to the wood?
