Thanks, Frank, for the suggestions about showcasing the ability of the EVs in relation to using that power in other ways, too. But I would need some very much more experienced folks than I to set that up. Since we cannot probably move that inverter around in our Prius (how much does it weigh?) we would need to have someone volunteer to do that. Keep those ideas flowing, please, members! Thanks. Fran, EVI The lastest that I'm working on is a documentary on the trip. But I will need to find some kind of funding for that. We shall see! ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank Leslie To: 'FLEAA Mailing List' Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 9:58 AM Subject: Re: [FLEAA] request for lead on musicians for EVI
Be certain to use an inverter from a 12V battery in a car so that you can tie in the music amplification to the car. Also be aware that cheap inverters often use opposite phase 55V on the "neutral" and hot sides. This can cause shock hazards if the musician is also using a utility feed. There should be a renewable dealer nearby who would loan you a 1500 watt inverter for the sponsorship credit.

I have been working to make sure that our plug-in conversion will truely be ready at the correct time. By tonight we should have that assurance. But, basically, if you live in the state of Florida we will be in your area some time between early July & mid August. I have learned something from being in promotions that have no ancillary draws. If you are promoting something and you are not at a big greening-the-environment fair or a similar function, then you need a significant attention getter. Maybe you have been allowed to set up in a park or a large parking lot. Music is the biggie that can draw folks like magic. Do you know of any musical bands, however small, who would be willing to play for a wonderful, environmental cause called the Electric Vehicle Initiative? If you help us make the Initiative famous, then your band can say on their resume that they played for the famed EVI of 2008. ;-) We are also looking for artists who have put out really great "green" music that we can run in the background when we don't have a band available. If you have any leads you can email me for now at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Soon I will be asking you to blog us at our very own FLEAA's website!
