Canada Has High Hopes In Regards To Kestrel Marijuana Auto
The search for choice powers and modes of transportation that are environmentally friendly has taken a new, green turn. Motive Industries, a Calgary, Alberta-based business, has a new bio-composite electric-powered automobile in the works, as outlined by Fast Business. Kestrel is the name, and hemp is the green construction material. It's a cannabis-constructed vehicle.
Kestrel the scion from the Hemp-car Program
As with anything else involving hemp and weed, the Kestrel weed vehicle has stirred attention. Back in 2001, Hemp-car.org tested a car that ran on hemp biodiesel, which the Kestrel currently doesn't do but might in the near future. The Kestrel – at least in early stages – could be made partly from hemp, but won't run on hemp biofuel. If only the United States would legalize the growing of industrial hemp, they could enjoy such vehicular greenery. Considering the industrial hemp necessary has no psychoactive properties and is not a drug, Hempcar.org found America's lack of response bewildering.
Motive gets the hemp from Alberta Innovates
The Kestrel gets its hemp raw material from a Vegreville, Alberta farm via Alberta Innovates Technology Futures. The hemp makes for an extremely lightweight but solid vehicle. Parts are effortlessly recyclable and the construction is as strong as glass composite, writes Fast Business.Motive is not ready to start ripping Kestrels off the assembly line just yet, but testing a prototype should certainly start before 2010 comes to a close.
Henry Ford had this idea in 1925
"The fuel of the future is going to come from fruit like that sumach out by the road, or from apples, weeds, sawdust -- almost anything," said the prescient Henry Ford to the New York Times during the Good Depression. "There is fuel in every bit of vegetable matter that can be fermented," Ford continued.
Among the weeds Ford acknowledged was hemp. This is a safe assumption because he made a automobile out of resin-stiff hemp fibers. It ran on hemp-based ethanol. American farmers faced economic calamity during the ongoing recession, and Ford envisioned a movement toward "Farm Chemurgy" that would cultivate plant and vegetable material as vehicular fuel sources and body construction elements. There would are mutual benefit. However, Congress eventually passed the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937. Once the DuPont business and newspaper uber-baron William Randolph Hearst had their say, hemp was buried beneath pages of unnecessary laws. Ford's path of innovation was closed.
