June is Bike Month volunteers wanted <<snipped from the Realgoods message board and FW here>> baked treats for REV2005 volunteers, part of June is Bike Month ...
Is there a solution to (brainwashed?) public's antipathy towards ZPV's? Having attended electric vehicle and CarFree festivals recently I am wondering if...
As I myself am apathetic toward ZPV's, maybe it would be useful to look into why. Here'd be my list: 1.) First, terminology. I'm not familiar with the term...
Some good questions there. Check out "well to wheel" efficiencies. The results are pretty depressing, particularly if you hold shares in a fuel cell company! ...
Well, when you recharge your ZEV (zero emissions vehicle), where does it come from and how is that energy being produced? Is your impact on the environmen...
Yah -- what seems to kill fuel cells is reformer efficiency. If a reformer is 30-40 percent efficient in converting a hydrocarbon fuel to hydrogen, combining...
... remember ... A perfectly sensible take on electric cars, but if you used the same technology (ie good aero design, light weight, good tires) for a diesel...
... Yes, my thoughts exactly. ALTHOUGH: It's interesting to see the overreaction of the American public over gas prices reaching the "unthinkable" level of...
First a bit of chemistry. When we burn coal we mainly create CO2. We get a caloric value of about 29 MJ/kg for good coal. The coal could be considered as being...
Ah - but for countries that don't abide by the Kyoto Protocol, there is no penalty for producing CO2. At least not at the moment. Perhaps this is why some coal...
Well done, both 1 and 2. Because the well to wheel efficieny is less, you need more hydrocarbon for a given energy at the wheel, and so you have to store the...
Well, um, why not just use a conventional IC engine? Other emissions? And, um, lemons? Meaning, you plant a lemon tree in your CO2 sequestration module? How...
"I built 3 atmospheric CO2 sequestration input modules last year, I get lemons from one of them." Hmmm....you had to build yours? I had one spontaneously...
What reason most interests you in converting to or using ethanol? Lower Fuel Price Benifit to National Security Benifit to Economy Benifit to Environment ...
But when did you stop beating your wife? _____ From: highefficiencyvehicles@yahoogroups.com [mailto:highefficiencyvehicles@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Greg...
LOL, this is so funny. DUH DUH DUH, the largest CO2 engine is the ocean (limestone is formed). the more the Ice caps melt, the larger the surface area of the...
All - It has been brought to my attention that some are confused by my last comment, and are puzzled and offeded by the statement. I apologize -- I had...
We should do all we can to reduce our dependance on mideast oil. It would be interesting to see what people think on the topic. What reason most interests you...
Given the repetitive nature of the posts, I'm beginning to wonder whether our friend Matt here is a real-live person or not... I think I'm going to put a...
The Think looks like a pretty sensible city vehicle, and the price is,well, getting there I suppose. One of these with a 10 hp standby generator (a future...
With my new home being what it is, I got to a point where I just couldn't see myself trying to bring home everything I need to fix it up in my little Mini......
Hmmmmm. So far...... tune in again next week. Actually, it looks like we really are going to see sustained higher fuel prices for the foreseeable future....
Let's analyze for a moment. The Bush family fortune is VERY tied up in oil. Bush is ending his term after this go-around. What better pension plan than oil...
Yeah, didn't we hang a sign on the front door saying something about "no conspiracy theories?" ... Iraq ... tied up ... pension ... higher ... effective ... ...
The Commuter 90 is no more. I got to the point where I'd finished all my drawings and figurings and realized I could not manage to build a car that got 90...
Your new specs suggest a 2000 pound weight car. I have thought about a similar project but I'm now building a 58 corvette replica on '96 camaro running gear. ...
