Does it always have to be petrol? What alternative forms of propulsion actually existed in the past? Experiments were carried out over 100 years ago - creative and sometimes crazy solutions were the result. For example, turning the key and driving off was out of the question with the Opel Kapitän in 1945: getting a car with a wood gasifier going required a lot more effort. The Stanley Steamer already had a lot of steam in its boiler in 1911. The steam-powered machine needed water, petroleum and, above all, time to get going. GRIP test driver Helge Thomsen checks out three oldies with interesting, sometimes crazy propulsion systems, even if that means: get out the splitting axe! #Grip #GripDasMotormagazin #Oldtimer #Experiment #Experimental Subscribe to our channel: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c...
