The breatharian car?
The Indian man terms himself a breatharian and says that he hasn't eaten or drunk anything since 1940 and adheres to a strict routine of yoga and meditation.
Yes, we've had solar-powered cars before, but so far they've been way too dependent on clear skies and blistering sun. They're not particularly fast and have an alarming tendency to conk out mid-journey.
On these counts, I guess you could say that they'd be pretty cheap-car-insurance friendly: they don't go fast, you can't do many miles in them and they can only be driven in ideal driving conditions.
All this could change with the advent of the oxygen-sun powered vehicle currently being worked on by combustion chemists in the USA and Switzerland.
Who knows, perhaps they could learn something from our septuagenarian breatharian?
