1916 Owens Magnetic

If you think something is new it is probably old.
Some of you may remember the thread about the CT Electric truck in storage at my shop
I can't find the tread right now but here is a car made in 1916 that we might call the first hybrid although it is not actually a hybrid since it doesn't run on the batteries.
It is quite unique in the way the car is propelled

Thanks for sharing this video Frank, absolutely fascinating. It is a marvel that engineering was so far advance over one hundred years ago and what was actually achieved with the limited resources of the period.

Thanks for the video. Jay Leno is a very interesting guy and down to earth.
