That article you referenced and the video are about different developments.

The video concerns a new EV that has been announced as being available
right now in China with solid-state batteries.

This is the first time I am aware of that any vehicle has entered series
production with solid-state batteries.

the Giga-press and are lighter than the previous steel ones.

I'm not an engineer, but I think that having accelerated air from the props

With a single prop the air from the prop would only add lift in the area near

Actually Mark, 18650s are so last-year, they are using 2170 cells now

[EVDL] VW is claiming new EVs will use 48-volt systems

2016-02-06 Thread Paul Wujek via EV

Does anyone have any thoughts on VW using 48-volt systems in planned EVs?

Here's an article that claims that number 
(http://www.autoblog.com/2016/02/05/volkswagen-golf-eighth-generation-information/#slide-endcap), 
and I've seen others that repeat it.


This seems a very low voltage for a modern EV.

What kind of effects will this have on the design?

Re: [EVDL] 66yrold e-scooterist death> doored, run-over & truck-dragged Ottawa.ca

2016-01-17 Thread Paul Wujek via EV
This happened in Ontario, Canada where there is a law in place that cars 
have to be at least a metre from bicyclists.


I also take this to mean that bicycles should always remain at least a 
metre from cars, parked or not.


If staying a metre away from cars puts my bicycle in the traffic lane 
that's fine with me and following cars will either have to give me room 
or stay behind and wait for me to pass parked vehicles. I've been doored 
before.

Scooter rider dies after being 'doored' by car in ByWard Market
January 13, 2016  Andrew Seymour

[image
http://wpmedia.ottawacitizen.com/2016/01/man-dies-riding-e-bike.jpeg
A man has died after he was hit while riding an E-Bike northbound on
Cumberland St. In the Byward Market Monday, Jan. 11, 2016
]

The death of a 66-year-old man on an electric scooter who was run 
over by a

truck after he was “doored” in the ByWard Market on Monday is a tragic
reminder about the dangers cyclists and those on e-bikes face, says an
Ottawa safe cycling group.

Ottawa police said the man was riding his scooter northbound on 
Cumberland
Street at about 4:30 p.m. when the driver of a Toyota that had just 
parked
along the curb swung open his door. The man on the e-bike collided 
with the

door and was then thrown off his scooter, where he landed in front of a
northbound pickup truck.

Witnesses reported that the man was dragged several metres before the 
truck

stopped. Firefighters had to lift the truck to free the man, who was
pronounced dead at the scene. A handicap sticker was visible on the 
back of

the scooter.

Police did not release the man’s name Tuesday.

“It is very important for drivers to be aware when they are opening 
their
doors to be looking for cyclists,” said Heather Shearer, a board 
member with
Citizens for Safe Cycling. “Also for drivers overtaking a cyclist — 
if the
space is tight, try to imagine this is a possibility and try to stay 
back

until it is safe to overtake.”

Shearer said drivers need to remember there could be someone on a 
bike next
to their car, even in winter. Winter cycling has become increasingly 
popular

and cyclists are on the road year round, she said.

Shearer said cyclists should give themselves at least a metre from 
parked

cars to help reduce the risk of a collision.

“For cyclists it can be intimidating to stay away from the doors and 
take

the space that you need, but your safety is more important than anyone’s
convenience,” said Shearer.

The e-bike rider is the second person to die after being “doored” in 
Ottawa

in the past five years.

Cyclist Danielle Nacu was killed in October 2011 after she was hit 
with a
car door while cycling on Queen Street. The 33-year-old was knocked 
off her

bike and into the path of an oncoming vehicle.

A new law that came into effect in September increased the fine for a 
driver

found guilty of dooring a cyclist to $365 and three demerit points.

No charges have been laid in Monday’s collision, although police were
continuing to investigate ...

[EVDL] article: Harnessing 'Spooky Action at a Distance' To Make a Better Battery

2015-08-06 Thread Paul Wujek via EV
This article postulates that elements of a cell can be charged using 
quantum entanglement (if you don't know what that means please read: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement).



http://motherboard.vice.com/en_uk/read/theorized-quantacell-quantum-batteries-may-offer-super-fast-charging


According to the article one cell could be used to charge essentially 
the whole pack in parallel.



Some musings about the implications if it becomes possible to make 
batteries this way:


 The neat thing about entanglement is that the entangled particles 
can be *any* distance from each other.


 The cells of the entangled battery could be separated by any distance.


 If we can charge through entanglement then if follows that we can 
discharge the same way.



 You could take one cell in the car and leave the rest at home 
charging at the same time the car is travelling.



 The cells that aren't in the car could stay at the factory and 
just get charged off the grid, as a service.
