Jon, <sarcasm> Well just get a generator working off a Hot-Cat (http://ecatreport.com/e-cat/no-hot-cat-progress-with-thermoelectric-process -yet) and for extra credit, drop the engine, drive train and cooling system in favor of Hub Motors (http://kellycontroller.com/car-hub-motor-72v-7kw-p-465.html). Then you ought to be a to go at least 6 months without a fill-up.
Should be able to do that in a weekend. </sarcasm> Regards, Eric Well, this is pretty off-topic, except that these machines are basically big servo motors and drives. I have a Honda Civic hybrid and have driven it for about 4 years. I just had to have the hybrid battery replaced at Honda's cost this winter. I get 49 MPG in the winter and hot summer, and am getting 57 MPG right now, in mixed city/highway driving. I fill the gas tank a bit more than once a month! I could actually use an all-electric for all this, but then I'm going to Wichita in June, so an all-electric might be less optimal for that trip. (I did build an all-electric VW Beetle hack job in 1985 or so, and it ran remarkably well. The body was full of big holes, though.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing AppDynamics Lite, a free troubleshooting tool for Java/.NET Get 100% visibility into your production application - at no cost.
