[国际新闻] 英国家具商弗雷德·伍德造三轮木头汽车

由于不满一辆辆锈迹斑斑的报废汽车污染环境,英国家具制造商弗雷德·伍德想出一个妙招——手工打造世界上第一辆“永不生锈”的“木头汽车”。据悉,伍德为造双座位、三轮汽车共花去了2000多个小时,它重408公斤,体长4.14米,最高时速达163公里。csuchen.de3 C3 |$ c: E" A/ ]# s8 r

  据报道,现年46岁的弗雷德·伍德来自英国威尔士彭布鲁克郡,是名家具制造商。眼瞅着一辆辆锈迹斑斑的破旧汽车报废后,无情破坏和污染着生态环境,伍德闪出这样一个念头,为何不用木头替代钢铁,手工打造一辆车身全部为木质的“木头汽车”呢?于是他从一辆旧“雪铁龙”2CV型汽车上拆下底盘和发动机,开始利用造船技术自己动手制造汽车。2 @' g$ {6 n3 L+ @

  伍德依据空气动力学原理,精心设计了一个线条流畅的全木车身。随后他又从家具市场上淘来上好的非洲桃花心木,造出一个厚度为6毫米的木质车身。最后,他为爱车涂上清漆,并起了“特亚尼二世”的名字。9 x8 ]1 [; U; r3 b3 G5 c8 D$ I

It took furniture maker Friend Wood, 46, more than 2000 hours to build his three-wheel, tear-drop shaped car, which he has named 'Tryane II'.

The two-seater was put together using the chassis and 602cc engine from a Citroen 2CV. Mr Wood then built up layers of African mahogany around a basic mould using a boat-building technique known as 'cold moulding'.
