Not to be outdone by any tall kids from "way up north" . . .
( I NEED a lesson on how to "blueprint" my junk ford to get mpgx4 and
powerx10 (to go 200mph) - I could be available most anytime.)
WAUSEON - The man who drove his 20-year-old Mustang from Napoleon, Ohio,
to Las Vegas and back last year on 39 gallons of fuel will open his
first manufacturing facility Monday to allow others to get 110 miles per
gallon.
Doug Pelmear, owner of Horse Power Sales.net Inc. and Hp2G LLC, will
hold an open house Monday morning in the idle 100,000-square-foot
factory he has leased in Wauseon to begin manufacturing his
revolutionary engine.
The factory, on the Fulton Industries Inc. campus in Wauseon, will be
tooled to initially turn out 20 of Mr. Pelmear's custom engines per day
with one shift of 25 workers.
A Decatur, Ind., specialty car company, Revenge Designs Inc., has
contracted with Mr. Pelmear to purchase 2,000 engines for use in a new
vehicle it plans to unveil at the end of this year at the Los Angeles
International Auto Show. The vehicle is to be called the Revenge Verde
Super Car, which will use Mr. Pelmear's 400-horsepower engine and its
500 foot-pounds of torque to travel up to 200 mph and get 110 mpg -
though admittedly not at the same time.
"The engine is going to be a really great partnership with the car,"
explained Emily Levault, a spokesman for Revenge Design. "The idea
behind this was to give people what they want while putting people back
in their jobs."
Ms. Levault said the Verde will be introduced as both a left and
right-hand drive, so that it can be marketed around the world. She said
details of its pricing have not been released.
Mr. Pelmear has said that he employs more precise tolerances and
manufacturing techniques to decrease heat and energy loss and increase
the efficiency of the internal combustion engine. He said he has more
than quadrupled the industry average engine efficiency of about 8
percent.
Mr. Pelmear's company employs eight people, and he said he'll "take
resumes" on Monday, but won't accept applications, for what would be his
first shift of production workers. Depending on how the plant start-up
goes, Mr. Pelmear said, "we'll probably add another 25 over the next
three months after that." Mr. Pelmear did not say what workers will be
paid.
editorial comment? Bwahahahahahahahaha
