Have you ever been around these bigger than a house mining trucks? I have, lots of times in factories. Every wheel has an electric motor. Thats the deal here. An 80 pound 100 hp motor in the wheel, or wheels. Put a few batteries where the gas tank was, a few more where the engine/transmission was in the front for balance, the extra space is for golf clubs and a fishing pole. Next year these new motors are going into production, and they can be retrofit to old cars, and you can tie your crazy ass brother to the transmission you take out and throw it in the lake.
Can I do my bitch-ass sister instead?

Oh, Dad went through those very straits during the Korean War. Ported in Kobe, Japan - might have gottten his ashes hauled while ashore buying that china he shipped home to Mom.

Yes, but not tied to the old engine, actually you sell the motor and transmission for scrap.
DeleteI like seeing things like this. It has to be very pricey. I will just say the lithium battery on my bike performs very well. lead acid would make these things work just fine.
ReplyDeleteMet this guy and he knows math who said he consistently gets 50 and a bit more at times in what I think was a type of eco Chevy Cruze or something like that. No electrics.
OF: There you are, wondered if you were lost up a creek somewhere. I have no idea on the price, if it can be competitive. Hypermilers. Your friend is one of those "Tommie's". Like the deaf dumb and blind pin ball wizard, they can feel the engine through their feet and hands, and squeeze incredible mpg out of them. PBS did a thing on Hypermilers a few months back about this guy that has an old Honda civic and he wrings 60 mpg out of it all the time just with his driving style, windows up, never use the AC, coast every chance he gets, avoids full stops at all costs, it was pretty funny.

You realize that by these writings you have met the criteria for conspiricy, the DA will make the case. You have to give up the idea, at least for this year.
DeleteI can think of a person or two I wouldn't mind using as lobster bait. The fact there are no lobsters in Lake Superior and an engine block isn't a lobster trap is irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteNan, it's worth a try for sure.
