Would be interesting to pull up the newspaper articles of the time, to see if he really did drive the Fierce Arrow, like he said he did. Yu bet, if Tesla pulled all this off, folks, "Men in Black" woulda decended on his "Box" and hidden it away. Along the same lines there are folks trying to prove theat the Wright Bros. WERN'T First in Flite. A local, BPT CT Fellow, Geo. Whitehead, had built a plane, and flew it in 1900, in CT. Local papers supposed to have covered the event. There are guyz her that are building a replica of the plane to prove a point. Havent followed this story very closly. I think, before throwing away those #$%^ heavy batteries, that somebody better do a "Show Me" on all this fun stuff. Capt. Nemo of " Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea "Fame, Written LOONG before submarines became technically possable, was quoted that the World wasn't ready for his invention, would use it for evil. He was right! Jules Verne had a predictable point. Bottom line. Fun to read. But, I'll go with the line on the Misouri tags "Show Me" Make me believe. Like a drive in an EV-1 gave me a great admiration of GM of our America. They DID it! Built the Gold Standard of EV's. Waved it in our faces, and took it back! I can't own the great work of their Tech People, of which one is a dear friend of mine.HE is as frustrated with the turn of things as we ALL are with the way things are turning out. The EV-1 will fade into history, with people remembering how well it worked, and Howcome it never made it into production? Or if 'enuf polititions with balls enough to pass clean air laws with some teeth, before it's too late. Don't hold yur breath! Before ya haft to! Keep doing our research into better batteries, sep-Ex an" AC drives, Evercells an' all that fun stuff. I'm interested in AV drive with Evercells for the Next EV.Copying the mail on this. Sheer as my test pilot, as well as others doing this stuff.,AC wise. My twe watts worth Bob
