- I know what day it is and all, but you really have to check out George Berbari’s Flywheel Driven Vehicle. Here’s a USPTO patent that shows a block diagram of the system. (hey, wasn’t Flywheel Drive a BTO Song?)
- It’s geared more towards the boating crowd but still an interesting read: Battery types, Flooded vs AGM and GEL
- Research into total cost of vehicles, including the cost of manufacturing. They are pretty down on hybrids, but considering that the technologies are relatively new I suspect that the numbers would be much different in a year or two as the advantages of mass-production kick in. Our EV conversions should get extra karma or something.
- Step one of the all-hamster powered electric car. (it’s only a matter of time)
Id love to see Georges car work. I know him in fact he is my step daughters father
