    Serial Hybrid Project

    I wonder if Calcium Chloride would work because iirc it's an industrial waste product (from which process i don't recall).

    EV-1 Conversion

    I read your elegantly written thesis. I found no typos or grammatical errors - I didn't check the maths - not my strong point.

    Hey Jason, You should have put those fans on the back side of the boot(trunk). Then instead of sucking the back seat passengers into the trunk you would have had electric jet-assist! :D

    Does anyone have numbers on Hydrogen?

    This (which is posted already somewhere here): http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/27/dbm-energys-electric-audi-a2-completes-record-setting-372-mile/ would suggest that batteries can be good enough not to necessitate going the hydrogen route. However, some hydrogen storage (beit as hydrogen...

    New Water Powered Toy

    It's a plot to get the water aerated for free. A bit like Tom Sawyer charging people to paint his fence. "Pay me $100 to have a go". Giant fish tank bubbler! :D
