Screaming Fun Proving the future can be both mean and green
By MARK VAUGHN
AutoWeek | Published 02/19/06
Yes, the Ariel Atom with GM or Honda power is about the most amazing thing
on wheels right now, but here is something both amazing and environmentally
friendly-the Wrightspeed X1. Ian Wright is CEO of a Silicon Valley start-up
called Wrightspeed (http://www.wrightspeed.com) that wants the world to
drive electric Atoms. Electric Ariel Atoms.
Working with AC Propulsion of San Dimas, California, Wright installed a pack
of lithium-ion batteries and an AC Propulsion three-phase AC induction motor
into an Atom to make the most screamingly fun 236-hp green statement ever.
We know, we just spent the morning screaming.
Wright says 0 to 60 mph comes up in about three seconds, a thrill ride you
have to experience to believe. You will smile through the bugs in your teeth
all day.
But this car is not just a drag racer. Since it is basically a full-on Atom,
the car maintains the Atom's exuberant handling and balance. We weighed it
in AC Propulsion's headquarters after our drive and found it to be 1536
pounds fully loaded, minus people. Weight distribution is 32.01 front and
67.99 rear (leave it to engineering geniuses to be that precise). The heavy
rear bias is kept in check by AC's ultra-sophisticated traction control,
which even comes with an "off" switch.
This car's handling exceeds its thrilling acceleration, which says a lot.
AC's
regenerative braking is so precisely controlled that we never really needed
to touch the brakes during our drive. Wright says he can use the regen to
stabilize the car as he drifts it through corners. The possibilities are
endless.
And it goes 100 miles in city driving.
But Wrightspeed is just a start-up, which means you can't buy one of these
cars yet. Whether you ever will be able to buy one depends on the vagaries
of company financing. But if this car represents the future we will all have
once the oil runs out, we say goodbye gasoline!

Until 1987, the billions of batteries that had been marketed in myriad sizes
and shapes all had one thing in common. To make electricity, they depended
exclusively upon chemical reactions involving metal components of the
battery. But today a revolutionary new type of battery is available
commercially. It stores electricity in plastic.
Plastic batteries are the most radical innovation in commercial batteries
since the dry cell was introduced in 1890. Plastic batteries offer higher
capacity, higher voltage, and longer shelf-life than many competitive
designs. Companies are testing new shapes and configurations, including flat
batteries, that can be bent like cardboard. Researchers expect that the new
technology will free electronic designers from many of the constraints
imposed by metal batteries such as limited recharging cycles, high weight,
and high cost.
The development of plastic batteries began with an accident. In the early
1970s, a graduate student in Japan was trying to repeat the synthesis of
polyacetylene, a dark powder made by linking together the molecules of
ordinary acetylene welding gas. After the chemical reaction took place,
instead of a black powder, the student found a film coating the inside of
his glass reaction vessel that looked much like aluminum foil. He later
realized that he had inadvertently added much more than the recommended
amount of catalyst to cause the acetylene molecules to link together.
News about the foil-like film reached Alan MacDiarmid of the University of
Pennsylvania. He was interested in non-metallic electrical conductors. Since
polyacetylene in its new guise looked so much like a metal, MacDiarmid
speculated that it might be able to conduct electricity like a metal as
well. MacDiarmid invited the student's instructor to join his team in the
United States, and this collaboration soon led to further findings. The
University of Pennsylvania investigators confirmed that polyacetylene
exhibited surprisingly high electrical conductivity.
Scientists recognize that various materials can conduct electricity in
different ways. In metals, electricity is simply the manifestation of the
movement of free electrons that are not tightly bound to any single atom. In
semiconductors, like those that make up transistors and other electronic
devices, electricity is the drift of excess electrons to form a negative
current or, alternatively, the drift of missing electrons or positive
"holes" in the opposite direction to form a positive current. Typically, the
excess electrons or the holes are donated by impurity or dopant atoms.
MacDiarmid's team reasoned that the ability of polyacetylene to conduct
electricity was probably promoted by trace impurities contributed by the
catalysts involved in the Japanese student's process. In their laboratory,
MacDiarmid's team confirmed that it was possible to chemically dope
polyacetylene to create either mobile excess electrons or holes. That these
electrons and holes could move explained how polyacetylene was able to
conduct electricity.
When polyacetylene was exposed to traces of iodine or bromine vapor, the
thin polymer film exhibited still higher electrical conductivity. The
researchers discovered that by purposefully adding selected impurities to
polyacetylene, its electrical conductivity could be made to range
widely-behaving as an insulator, like glass, to a conductor, like metal. The
discovery that plastics can behave like metallic conductors and
semiconductors was a chemistry first.
The key breakthrough leading to practical application as batteries occurred
in 1979 when one of Professor MacDiarmid's graduate students was
investigating alternative ways for doping polyacetylene. He placed two
strips of polyacetylene in a solution containing the doping ions and passed
an electric current from strip to strip. As expected, the positive ions
migrated to one strip and the negative ions to the other. But when the
current source was removed, the charge remained stored in the polyacetylene
polymer. This stored charge could then be discharged if an electrical load
was connected between the two strips, just as in a conventional battery.
Chemically, the plastic battery is different from conventional metal-based
rechargeable batteries in which material from one plate migrates to another
plate and back in a reversible chemical reaction. In a conducting plastic
battery, only the stored ions of the solution move-the plates are not
consumed and reconstituted. Since conventional battery life is limited by
the number of times the plates can be reconstituted, this difference
portends a longer recharge-cycle lifetime for the plastic batteries.
One potential application for polymer batteries is in battery-powered
automobiles. Two key measures of a battery's suitability for automotive
application are the power density, which determines acceleration and
hill-climbing ability, and the energy density, which determines the number
of miles that can be driven between charges. Polyacetylene's power density
is 12 times that of ordinary lead acid batteries. Its energy density is also
higher-about 50 watts-hours per kilogram versus 35 for lead acid batteries.
Although plastic batteries are competing against other advanced development
batteries with similar capability for this application, they have the unique
potential to be made of low-cost, environmentally-benign materials.
Supporters feel that a polymer battery can be part of the battery-powered
car of the future.
Polyacetylene, however, is not an ideal battery material. It degrades in
air, is chemically stable only in liquid solutions, and is brittle and not
amenable to injection molding methods used for forming plastic parts in
production. The University of Pennsylvania team, along with industrial
associates licensed to use their technology, searched for conducting
polymers of greater structural strength, thermoplasticity, flexibility, and
lower costs. Allied Corporation synthesized a new material,
polyparaphenylene, a black powder capable of being formed into plates by hot
pressing, that could be doped to conduct electricity. Several other
potentially suitable plastics were discovered thereafter.
One such material was polyaniline. In 1984 and 1985, the University of
Pennsylvania group received patents on the use of this material for
rechargeable batteries. It is inexpensive, and, unlike polyacetylene, it is
stable in both air and water. Polyaniline is the material used in the
plastic batteries that first became commercially available in 1987.
In just 8 years, plastic batteries went from laboratory discovery to
commercial availability, a remarkably fast evolution. With advances
continuing at a rapid pace, there are great opportunities for increasingly
important applications of this new technology.

From:

Roger Pham writes:
18/Feb/2006
The following is a quote from a publication by Resources Canada:
"Lithium is the lightest of the metals in the periodic table with an atomic
weight of 6.941. It is a naturally occurring substance that is widely
distributed in trace amounts inmost rocks, soils and natural waters. Lithium
minerals occur mainly in granitic pegmatites. Spodumene, alithium-aluminum
silicate, and naturally occurring lithium-containing brines are the main
sources of lithium. SQM reports that world use of lithium for batteries
accounts for 19% of global use, lubricating greases for 16%, frits for 12%,
glass for 9%, refrigerants for 8%, aluminum alloying for 6%, pharmaceuticals
for 5%, polymersfor 5%, and other uses, including those in ceramics and
enamels, another 20%."
Lithium probably will remain expensive due to the cost of extracting it.
However, Lithium batteries should be highly recyclable, so that battery cost
can be recouped when trading in for a new lithium rechargeable battery. With
widespread use of Lithium car batteries, expect the cost of Lithium to rise
much higher due to escalating demands, therefore the strategy is to delay
plugged-in hybrids and focus on gasoline-electric hybrids with small battery
packs first, or else no one will be able to afford electric car. NiMh should
continued to be used, and the new report about Firefly Lead-Foam-Acid
battery also sounds promising.
Jim Stack replies:
Richard Harding askes a great question, where is all the lithium. Check out
this link
http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/commodity/lithium/450301.pdf
It shows a lot in Chile,China, Russia and Australlia.
The USA is also on the top of the list. Jim

Press release on "Too Hot Not To Handle" executive produced by Laurie David
and airing on HBO on Earthy Day, April 22nd. This Hour-Long Documentary
offers chilling scientific evidence of a deepening environmental crisis as
well as practical, everyday solutions to reducing its causes.
Public awareness and unease about the mounting dangers of global warming has
grown dramatically in recent years, but realistic solutions for living more
energy-efficient lives remains frustratingly elusive for most Americans. TOO
HOT NOT TO HANDLE is a cautionary documentary executive produced by
environmental activist Laurie David that presents a level-headed, scientific
and extremely compelling case for ending the current era of oil dependence.
The 60-minute film debuts on Earth Day,
SATURDAY, APRIL 22 (7:00-8:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.
A primer on global warming, TOO HOT NOT TO HANDLE explores the phenomenon's
current and future impact and offers achievable approaches to solving the
problem. The documentary features contributions from more than two dozen
noted authorities on the environment, including renowned researchers,
university professors, authors, local government leaders and business
people. These experts present straightforward explanations of the root
causes and potentially dire consequences of the greenhouse effect, the
warming of the earth's atmosphere created by a buildup of carbon dioxide and
other gases.
Over the past century, consumption of carbon dioxide-emitting fossil fuels
(coal, oil and natural gas) has risen to staggering levels, especially in
the United States, where 5 percent of the world¹s population is responsible
for 25 percent of the world's CO2 emissions. TOO HOT NOT TO HANDLE offers a
wealth of chilling evidence that the greenhouse effect is steadily worsening
and the Earth is warming faster than at any other time in history.
Among the shocking facts revealed are:
· Deadly heat waves in the U.S. have increased three-fold since 1950 and
today kill more people than hurricanes, tornadoes, lightning and blizzards
combined.
· The average temperature in Alaska has risen 5 degrees, putting 99
percent of its glaciers in danger of melting for the first time in 5,000
years.
· Rising sea levels are eroding our shoreline and may eventually
displace up to 50 percent of Americans.
· Catastrophic storms, such as 2005¹s devastating Katrina and Rita,
which draw their strength from warm air, have increased dramatically in the
last half-century.
· Deadly viruses like West Nile, enabled by higher average temperatures,
are spreading to new parts of the globe.
But Too Hot Not to Handle is more than just a sobering preview of what will
happen over the next century if unbridled consumption of fossil fuels
continues. It also explores creative and potentially lucrative energy
options that can lead to a better quality of life and increased prosperity
in the future.
Encouraging viewers to think ³outside the barrel,² the film¹s experts give
viewers an extended look at the innovative ways Americans can reduce global
warming and literally change the world with Earth-friendly options. TOO HOT
NOT TO HANDLE travels across America to meet ordinary (and not so ordinary)
citizens who are already using creative approaches to cut down on petroleum
consumption, including:
· Ethanol: American farmers use corn and other natural, organic
materials to produce this gasoline additive used to increase fuel
efficiency.
· Biodiesel: Country and Western superstar Willie Nelson is an early
adopter of technology that enables cars and trucks to run economically on
recycled vegetable oil.
· Hybrid cars: The film follows a group of hybrid owners who enjoy an
informal competition to see which of them can surpass their astonishing (and
achievable) goal of 100 MPG.
TOO HOT NOT TO HANDLE also takes viewers to Texas, where windmills have
sprouted in place of oil fields, and to New Mexico to see an experimental
solar power plant. Scientists predict that a small area of the Mojave Desert
could one day supply the U.S. with all the electricity it needs. Large
scale municipal efforts, as seen in Portland Oregon, reduce carbon emissions
while increasing local prosperity and quality of life, through a variety of
means including comfortable and convenient public transportation and a
"green" city building policy that rewards developers for using
environmentally sensitive building standards.
"To stabilize the climate, we'll need to cut emissions by something like 80
percent, says Michael Oppenheimer, Ph.D., professor, Geosciences and
International Affairs, Princeton University. ³But it doesn't have to be
done overnight. We can do it gradually, over the course of this century. I
don't think Americans lack ingenuity or innovation. We can reinvent
ourselves in ways that would be really extraordinary.²
TOO HOT TO NOT HANDLE is executive produced by Laurie David, a passionate
crusader for environmental causes including an end to global warming.
"The film emphasizes realistic changes that will add up to a huge reduction
in carbon emissions," says David. "Our goal is to inform viewers and
motivate them to make every day adjustments that will pay off in the
future."
David recently launched the "Stop Global Warming Virtual March" with Senator
John McCain and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (whose Riverkeeper organization
honored her in 2003), an effort that unites community and business leaders
with everyday Americans to urge the U.S. to address the ticking time bomb
that is global warming.
More information can be found at
http://www.stopglobalwarming.com
As a trustee of the Natural Resources Defense Council and a founding member
of the Detroit Project, David has spearheaded numerous public education and
action campaigns, and produced several television commercials that helped
ignite a national debate about gas-guzzling SUVs. She also co-chairs NRDC's
Action Forum and Executive Forum. Rolling Stone magazine listed her as one
of the top twenty-five leaders fighting global warming.
She is married to comedian Larry David; they live in Los Angeles with their
two daughters.

Hydrogen Generation and Fast Fill Fuel Station Dedication
February 1, 2006
Riverside , CA
The latest hydrogen refueling station to join the California Hydrogen
Highway network opened to the public in Riverside, "A Model Clean Air City"
on Wednesday, February 1 st, 2006. This station joins Santa Anna as the
first 2 cities to receive their fuel stations as part of the SCAQMD 5 city
hydrogen station and vehicle program that also includes Ontario, Santa
Monica and Burbank . Unlike most of the other 17 hydrogen stations in
California today, this station truly is open to the public and anyone with a
hydrogen powered vehicle can fill up here 24 hours a day. Air Products and
Chemicals, Inc. performed the station construction and utilized a Proton
Energy Systems electrolyzer to produce hydrogen on site from grid
electricity. Quantum technologies built 30 hydrogen vehicles for the project
and provided 5 Toyota Prius's that were modified to burn hydrogen for fuel
instead of gasoline to the city of Riverside. Funding and project management
was provided by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD).
Riverside Mayor Ronald O. Loveridge was on hand and accepted numerous awards
of recognition on behalf of the city for this grand opening event. Cynthia
Verdugo-Peralta spoke on behalf of the SCAQMD during the program. Daniel J.
Rabun of APCI delivered a highly motivational speech about the state of the
hydrogen economy. Andy Abele of Quantum Fuel Systems Technologies Worldwide,
Inc. explained the fuel system upgrades to the Prius's that were on hand for
test drives.
Many hydrogen powered vehicles were on display for the event and one even
drove all the way from Colorado for demonstration. Honda had two of their
FCX's, GM brought a HydroGen 3, the National Guard brought their fuel cell
pick up, No less than 6 hydrogen Prius were available, Jim Heffel brought
both his Cobra and Ranger, while Intergalactic Hydrogen brought the original
H2-H2 HUMMER.
The City of Riverside is on the cutting edge of the clean fuel / clean air
movement and will provide both business and citizens with the fuel of the
future today. This station helps provide the infrastructure to support the
Hydrogen Highway and promote future development of zero-emission, hydrogen
powered vehicles.
