You can probably sell that idea in today's society.

Are you sure about that?

:rofl: That reinds me of a bet I won at Cheeburger Cheeburger http://www.cheeburger.com/home2/index.asp. Nice home page, look at what it says under the burger :rofl:. I only went there once, but it was when I was in shape :lol:.

I hope the electric technology moves forward and gain control once again.

Who here has heard of the 'Bloom Box' ? Very interesting fuel cell invention that is so efficient and small that a cube it looks like 5x5x5 inches could power a typical household, obviously with supplementary equipment to make it wok however. Seems like a really good thing to make a great hybrid electric vehicle. Runs on anything from Propane, Natural gas, gasoline, hydrogen, etc, etc.

But I have my eye on some other technologies, if they turn out to be not fraudulent, will revolutionize the world... that is, if not 'falsely debunked' by 'special interest groups'. :no:

I've seen the hype zpb, guess we'll find out more in the next few weeks?

lutach 02.27.2010 05:29 PM

Those 10 ton 100KW unit would be good for the Leaf :lol:. A 10 ton Ballard unit would probably be able to supply over 1MW :lol:.

Edit: Forgot to mention one thing...Look at the board of directors for Bloom Energy.

I wonder how long it will take hobby city to come out with a replacement li-ion battery for the car.

zeropointbug 02.27.2010 08:26 PM

Yeah, I don't expect much to come from it. Colin Powell is a board member, so I think, well I don't know what to think of that, all I know is I would be cautious to jump on it. Not really a solution to anything but a good hybrid.

Nah, that's manual labor, which I am allergic to. I prefer a direct calorie-t0-electricity conversion.

Real Brushless Power!

Yeah, the Zombie is a great little electric car, and I was going to mention that they are using A123's in it now but it shows it in this video. I would love to have that thing to cruise around town in.

My favorite fast EV is definitely the Wrightspeed X1, AC Propulsion drive, LiPo battery pack, and 0-60 in ~3 secs. Built on the Ariel Atom chassis.
