No comment. This speaks for itself, really.

in 10 years time people are going to look back on these setups and laugh their ass off when they have something the size of a AA battery doing the same work as all those batteries..

[Chris Rogers]

not really. if you take a new prius apart there is a similar setup in the rear of it.

whilst looking at that look up EV racing - there is a vehicle capable of a 10sec qtr pass.

Actually, the worlds quickest electric vehicle is a motorbike. Capable of 8.2 for a standing quater mile with more to come.

Also check out http://www.NEDRA.com for more electrical lunacy.

[Stinky Rooster]

I bet you invested in the Moller skycar too didn't ya?

yep looked at that site a while back. suckamps racing was who I was referring to. fellow sells the gear to convert a small car to electric. not cheap but a good site for info.

I looked at doing a subaru sherpa a while back . 110km range on a full charge at 110kmh (72v system) I thought it was pretty impressive.

as for doing it in a weekend- not really a week maybe if everything was at hand.

here's an electric car I'd be happy to own

700hp

4.0 seconds 0-100 etc etc

[Chris Rogers]

looks like a TWR. that said its has a LOT of current drawing devices on it. would love to see how its laid out and hte operatig voltages.

[Duncan]

hahah have to buy one and pull it apart Chris. What voltage does the prius run at, pretty big right?

[Chris Rogers]

prius is 240v from memory. still more than enough to make it move. did a bit more reading on the one above. 4 huge motors on it so it would certainly move. mind you it would not be at all cheap. the controllers for those things are $2.5k a pop.
