I have an '84 Cressida sedan that I want to retrofit with a 250 cc, Honda engine, a set of Ford Super Duty Truck Alternators, Electric Motors mounted in the...
I'm not sure the help I'll offer is what you need, and don't take this information as anything more than an opinion. For used DC motors you can look at machine...
I am hoping to create a hybrid drive system where the gas motor stays at a constant rpm, to maximize the efficiency of the gas engine. Changes in powerplant...
I would definitely need a currency inverter, the Ford truck alternators produce alternating current, which would be the primary power source for the vehicle....
take a GMC Suburban, fit it with a Capstone Microturbine and 5 GMC Nova White alternators and 15 Optima deep cycle marine batteries, 4 80 hp electric motors...
... Why use a Suburban??? why not just start with a brinks truck... the suspension would already be beefy enough for the extra weight of the batteries and it...
yes, and there is a Ford Escape hybrid coming too, right? Did you notice in that article that in the section about the Nissan Titan, they mention that the...
HA HA I remember this one. I believe it was the Maxima commercial that used the same speil. Seems like Nissan uses this coating on quite a few of their...
What I would really love to do in the world of hybrids, and the reason I'm embarking on my rebuilt my old Toyota project, is because I would love to build the...
... because ... I ... pack ... if ... this ... I misspoke on that last post, the Optima Deep Cycle Marine batteries produce 900 amperes, at 12 volts, not 900...

The poll gives no good choices for a commercially available low emissions vehicle. I have spent some time working with adjustable speed AC drives and motors on...
The most viable and immediate option for a commercially available low emissions vehicle is a no brainer. You can go to a Honda or Toyota Dealer and buy a...
I see lots of talk about hybrids, which is a good concept, and other varieties of alternate fuel vehicles. In fact, I believe it is Norway (I may be...
Paul... I've been asking this question for ~30 years... There is no real answer... Reminds me of the line in the movie robo-cop... where the bad guy says: "I...
When I put "Gas/Electric Hybrid Standard Transmission," I was referring to currently available systems, such as those on the Toyota and Honda Hybrid vehicles,...
... we pay ... Well, you're only half right here. The peak efficiency of a modern gasoline engine is in the neighborhood of 30% (call it 20% to 40% if you...
Perhaps an example would help to illustrate what I was saying. Let's assume, for the sake of this example, that we have an engine that burns 100% of the fuel...
best option in terms of well to wheel environmental impact, and cost of ownership: Small turbo diesel. Manual trans. Fuel comes from oil wells. Second best :...
... European, maybe. Current U.S. diesel fuel is too dirty... cancer-causing particulates. We don't have a lifetime to figure that one out -- even a few people...
Hello Isaac... this may be off topic but I have a question for you... I have been seriously thinking about ways to both heat my home and generate electrical...

Yes, that falls into the category of "cogeneration," which is a general term that is used to refer to situations where something useful (waste heat related) is...
Have to disagree. If gasoline burns completely, as a result of complete vaporization, the only byproducts are CO2 and H2O, no Carbon Monoxide (CO), no...
I have another theory concerning the question. That theory goes something like this... Big Oil likes money, and lots of it. If our vehicles actually obtained...
It's fine with me if you'd like to disagree, especially if you can come up with some factual information, but you might want to read up a bit on chemistry and...
