[Vo]:The Lightning: Electric car with wheel motors, nano-titanate batteries

2008-06-07 Thread Stephen A. Lawrence
I hadn't heard of this one until I stumbled across it while looking for something else in Google. It's a high end niche car but none the less I thought it was interesting. Wheel motors, used on all electric locomotives, have, as far as I know, never been used on a car (in recent memory, at

Thanks for bringing Sai Baba back to my attention, Ed. How foolish of Money could not be a problem for a miracle worker, of course -- it takes only the slightest ability to affect the laws of chance, or the teeniest ability to predict the future, to allow one to amass as much wealth as you

Howdy Ed, A very quality analysis of the direction taken in the thread. I always understood Sai Baba to be a mystic but I can agree a mystic may not be considered a mystic as long as his heart is pure and the gold is 24 karat.. Ole Balaam had this problem too, but God helped him out a little
