Justin Capră-inventor

Justin Capră (born 22 February 1933) is a Romanian inventor. He was born in Măgureni, Prahova, Romania.

He invented and built small vehicles that consumed very little fuel. Before that, he invented an individual jet device, which allows a person to fly by jet.

His invention has never been patented or applied.

Without support from the Romanian government or private companies, he built his tiny vehicles mostly on his own. Capra's most famous car was the Soleta 150 Ecor; it had a total weight of 95 kg and was capable of covering 100 km on 0.5 liters of fuel.He also produced another model, the Soleta I.C.200, which could reach 67 km/h. None of his cars have been produced commercially.
