Australian Student Innovates With Affordable Conversion Kit, Quickly Transforming Gasoline Cars Into Hybrids For Only R$ 15.9 Thousand.

Alexander Burton, a 21-year-old Australian who has been interested in engineering and sustainability since a young age, was awarded for bringing together his passions. The student received the famous James Dyson Award for a unique proposal: the REVR, a conversion kit that transforms gasoline cars into hybrids in an economical and quick way.

Conversion Kit That Transforms Any Gasoline Model Into a Hybrid Car Delivers Up to 150 Km of Range

The motivation for developing the conversion kit came from Burton’s concern about emissions from gasoline cars and the awareness that electric cars still have prices that are unaffordable for many people. Owning a well-preserved 20-year-old Toyota Corolla, Alexander decided to find a way to make his own car more sustainable.

The inventor states he is worried about climate change and its individual impact. He wanted to help by buying an electric car, however, they are very expensive and have considerable emissions impacts due to their manufacturing.

The disc brake system and the wheel, which are coupled to the motor rotor, have the ability to rotate freely. The axles, hydraulic brake system, and gasoline engine continue to operate as before. The flat stator of the axial flow motor retains torque at the mounting points on the chassis through the wheel hub.

As described by the inventor, this drive system offers the advantages of direct drive, resulting in lightness and high efficiency. Its installation can be completed in a few minutes, without the need for specialized intervention. Alexander details that the hybrid car conversion kit includes all essential components to transform a light vehicle into a hybrid electric, covering air conditioning, heating, steering and brake assistance, batteries, and controllers.

However, the innovative aspect lies in the rotors. The axial flow motor technology is already known, but the innovation manifests in the design and structure of the REVR motor. This motor is distinguished by being a flat axial flow motor with a vast internal space, allowing it to be installed directly between the vehicle wheel and the disc brake. Since both the disc brake and the wheel are mounted on the motor rotor and can rotate freely, the vehicle’s original axles and systems, including the hydraulic brake and the internal combustion engine (ICE), remain operational.

Advantages of the REVR Conversion Kit

Simply put, the conversion kit for gasoline cars guarantees the advantages of a hybrid engine: using electricity for daily trips, reducing emissions with fuel, and using gasoline on trips where there are no charging points.

Alexander did not detail how the accelerator pedal works and needs to understand the operation of the steering, brake, and temperature components.

Additionally, he hopes to finish the prototype, perform the necessary tests, and make the kit available by the third quarter of 2024. However, the initial price, given the complexity of the product, would be R$ 26.9 thousand; however, over time and with demand growth, it would drop to R$ 15.9 thousand.

Advantages of the REVR Conversion Kit

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

New microwave that can replace three appliances hits the market: Sharp launches 3-in-1 model that combines air fryer, convection oven, and heating in 0.9 cubic feet for small kitchens

Who is the billionaire who donated R$ 140 billion and gave up almost half of her fortune?

As deserts advance, China installs 1 GW of solar+wind in the Tengger Desert and generates 1.8 billion kWh/year for 1.5 million households, with panels creating a microclimate that stimulates vegetation.

While the whole of Europe debates the four-day week, Germany takes the opposite path and proposes ending the historic eight-hour daily limit to redistribute working hours throughout the week, but the Confederation of Trade Unions rejects the idea and advises against the change.

Renault Kwid: Brazil’s cheapest car turns into a headache at the workshop, has its engine disassembled and shows that delayed maintenance can be much more expensive than many people imagine

Supermarket employees get Sundays off in Espírito Santo, and a chain reports a 10% drop in turnover, while the sector evaluates whether the new model can improve hiring without pressuring consumer prices.

Avelloz left the Northeast to become Brazil’s 5th top-selling motorcycle brand, surpassing 130,000 units sold, and is now targeting expansion in the South and Southeast with new models, a national network, and a focus on the popular entry-level segment.

A PRF Ford Ranger appears in a version prepared for highway operations, with a diesel engine, 4×4 drive, two-way radio, emergency lights, and internal controls that show how a common pickup truck becomes a police vehicle in Brazil for daily patrolling and police support.

The new generation of the Jeep Renegade targets SUV consumers below US$30,000 (R$150,000), a price range for intermediate versions of the T-Cross and Nivus in Brazil. The model was discontinued in the US in 2023, according to MoparInsiders.
