(non-political) comments on fuel economy and technology
"RCE" wrote in message ... "Shortwave Sportfishing" wrote in message ... Makes sense now. Thanks, both Tom and DSK. Wanna start up a business building diesel electric drives? im in. I am half serious. I need something to do anyway. Thinking we buy an old boat maybe already with a small diesel, add a battery bank, charging system, inverter and a big old electric motor. I have access to machining, welding and fabrication services, plus controls, electrical and CAD design if needed. Even have some space we could use. We could build a prototype and optimize it for proof of concept .... then .... on to Wall Street. Hmmmmm..... this one has caught my attention. I wonder if Mrs.E would donate her GB? RCE Hybrid cars make sense in other ways too. What if we as a country decided to equip one lane of the national interstates with a power rail that hybrid cars could use. What if we decided NOW on a protocol for accessing a future system and have all current hybrid and electric car designs easily modifiable to use that system if we implement it in the future? This could start in the major cities and spread out to semi urban areas along interstate routes. |
