re: re: re: re: Breakthrough Li-Ion battery - compared to GMs Volt |

IMHO,you guys have really
wandered off the map...
But, here is concept from GM
regarding the Volt
which has many drawbacks from my POV. My money* is on the Phoenix
SUT
over the GM looser. (Remember the EV-1?) Wondering how all the GM
R&D folks feel when they see a much more advanced concept that will
be competing with their model?
(*at $45k not just yet, maybe
in a few years of production when some of the development cost is paid
back and if cost comes down to the price of Prius)
Phoenix Electric Nano Battery SUV
The G Living Network Presents
The Phoenix Motor Cars super Nano Battery powered Suv and Truck. This
interview is with the lead sales rep from Phoenix motor cars and he
talks about the break through this car represents. Fully charge the suv
in 10 minutes, and then drive 135 miles before another 10 minute
charge. Charging stations at Starbucks and more.
RE: George Cloony's car
-- it's probably
this one --
A New Zealand guy, Ian Wright
has a concept car that cost ~$150K the X1 that beats a Ferrari or
Porsche...
Another breakthrough with
nanotechnology applied to batteries is mPhase's
super-hydrophobic Li-Ion battery electrode plates that can isolate
the electrolyte until there is a demand.
Just think what could happened
if Altair and mPhase joined forces in the battery technology world.
If you watched the bush Demo
video, GWB is saying how it is possible to reduce oil consumption by
20% in ten years.
We all know that the oil lobby
is very powerful in this country. How will they react?
Ken posted a link to
demonstrate how government bureaucracy works with slowing
down DIY wind power generation
I can see the same thing
happening with nano-batteries and EVs.
RE: the RUF link, bottom
line was this:
It
will be impossible to start the RUF system as a system with privately
owned rufs from the start. Nobody would invest in a new infrastructure
without knowing if anybody would like to buy the vehicles for it.
For that
reason, it is the intention to start it as a Public Transport system.
Since the
guideway is very slender and relatively inexpensive, such a system will
be less costly than traditional public transport. It would also be a
success compared to traditional transit because of the very high level
of service offered in RUF.
IMHO,
Infrastructure is rarely
inexpensive. There is much more to it than just a slender
guide-way.
Public officials will be negotiating right-of-way and eminent domain
issues. This will not be inexpensive.
