Engineering students develop 110 km/liter diesel bike

exactly mridula, it's a gd wrk dne by them

wers it now..?

It is a achievement, really a good job. Congrats for the students. Surely, this should be commercialized.

I found the article online (at http://www.siliconindia.com/shownews/Engineering_students_develop_110_kmliter_diesel_bike-nid-84382.html?utm_source=clicktrack&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=mostread).

There are several questions on the bike:

(i) Whether the bikes were test-run (with the tank first being emptied, filled with one litre) and run for 110 km in front of several witneses including the writer of the article( with all travelling alonside in other vehicles) with photographic and videographic evidence.

ii) Whether the copyright issues have been taken care of, with reference to the Bullet and Kinetic Blaze product parts, which have been modified for producing a new bike

iii) Whether there would be demand for this light bike with reduced power and reduced cc. And how people would evaluate it comprehensively on the basis of all its features (including riding comfort and styling) as against other bikes.

iv) Whether, as Mridula points out, the price of diesel would rise if more people utilize it (seems to me that the diesel price would follow the law of demand-supply)

v) What other technology would be introduced by other bike manufacturers to compete with the mileage and cost-per-km if this goes into mass production?

I believe the bike can be commercialized if the above questions (test-run, copyright, demand calculation, price hike, accounting for future competition and technology) are addressed.
