James


I am seriously thinking of getting a Nissan Leaf but I have a few questions.
1. Is there a time expiration,
2. Is it limited to the first x number of people?
3. I live in California so I have the same questions about the $5000 credit for California.
4. Are you able to get a lump sum payment or do they spread the return out over a few years?



Answer
2014 or 200,000 vehicles sold by the manufacturer.

Congratulations on being so rich as to owe $7500 in income taxes. If you don't pay that much in income tax, you don't get the full credit. Year of purchase only. In other posts you said your family makes $55K and you have 1 child--that's a tax bill of around $3000 a year, so you'd only get an extra $3000 back.

California's rebate is first come first serve.

What is the difference between social networking and social engineering?




edetwi


Do you feel like it is becoming harder to tell the difference? With all the billions of ad dollars, can the network engineers possibly resist becoming social engineers to make people push the right buttons at the right time?
Silly Naguru. Describe it, don't parse it. Are you a computer?



Answer
Naguru never gives anything but a ridiculous answer. They are usually worse than this, way off topic, and so stupid you know he just wants the two points.

But capitalists who are advertising, like the one you see to the right side of this screen, are not doing 'social engineering'. Social security and Obama-care are forms of social engineering. So was the denial of rights in the southern states to freed slaves. And so, too, the government forcing us to use our corn for fuel, but cutting electric use by outlawing incandescent bulbs by 2014, so that it can also force us to use electric cars without creating any more electricity. Before you know it, we will be using candles as they did in the novel Anthem. That entire little book was about the social engineering of people to make them forget the concept of 'self'; after all, that is the best way to control people, by making them forget they are individuals, e.g., making them think they are immoral to have desires.

No, the capitalists who make us push the right buttons are simply using the technology of their day. In Henry Ford's day he made us by the Model T by designing it the way most people needed it. You could even jack up the back end and use the transmission to power your farm equipment. How convenient--just like the advertising to the right of you that targets your every need, whim, and desire.

Social networking is just the modern form of the phone. My little brother used to spend 2-3 hours a day talking to his girlfriends on the phone. Now, his children text and use Facebook.

can i replace a lead acid motorcycle battery with a gel one?

kids electric cars batteries image



Lightnin Q


both batteries are 6 volts but i want the battery to lay on its side, so could i just fit a gel battery, or would i have to alter any of the electrics? the original battery is a Turbo 6N6-3B and the gel battery is from a 6 volt kids' electric car.


Answer
Yes you can, but be aware of a few things.

Gel batteries are more fragile. Because there is no ventilation (completely sealed) they can be damaged easier by being overcharged. Imagine if you build up pressure, where does it go? Gel batteries should not be charged with a voltage higher than 7.1 volts. Most alternators and staters will charge at 7.3 - 7.4 volts. This may seem like a minor difference, but high voltage (normal for other types) can damage a gel.

An AGM (Absorbed Glass Matte) Sealed Lead Acid Battery might be a good alternative. These are also sealed, so installing on the side wouldn't be an issue. They are confused for gels very often and they are also called 'dry cells'. The three main battery types can be compared as such: flooded is like a glass of water. Gel is like a glass full of stiff jello. AGM is like a glass water with a sponge in it, to absorb the water. Only the flooded is spill-able. The AGM does have small ventilation slits on the case, for pressure release, so they can charge just fine from any charger.

I hope this helps.

Is there some one out there that can design and produce and sell electric cars for the public?




remsonbuil


when I was a kid in the fifties there were electric milk cars /floats delivering lots of crates of milk, to the houses in the city.up the hills and down.they were powered with ordinary car batteries.they had a lot of weight on them, but they had no problem going.quiet and no pollution.where are they today?electric cars are the future, and I do not see why our government can't invest in this technology and set up factories to produce and sell to the world before some other western country does.Just because we might be at the forefront of some other leading technologies does'nt mean we have to stop there, does it?


Answer
With the President being an 'oil man', you can pretty much hang up the prospects of him pouring any money into electric car technology. If he were interested, he would have at least asked Congress to allocate funds in the last 6.5 years. Maybe the next President has the ability to see farther than 6 months into the future and invest for our future. If nothing else, our future cleaner air and less dependance on foreign oil.

I know what you are saying about electric vehicles yester-century. There were electric vehicles around when the combustion engine came along. Thanks to the oil companies, they died.....probably a painful death. The resurrection is a slow and agonizing process, but it IS happening!!

Few years ago we had horse powered cars, then came the steam powered engines, and now we have fuel powered engines.

There are some cars in the market that work with electricity today, or solar energy, but none of them have yet addressed the needs of the market, what are your thoughts? Are we going to see or more probably our kids are going to see a new set of vehicles propelled with some sort of energy that replaces petroleum based fuel?



Answer
I think plug-in hybrids like the Chevy Volt will be a big deal.

For the short trips, it's all-electric. No gas needed.

For longer trips, you have a small gas engine to generate electricity for the electric engine. And that engine doesn't have to be gas either. E85, biodiesel, butanol, etc.

The possibilities are endless.

How does an average household spend their paychecks - i.e., how much money do they spend on food, rent, etc.?




curious st


How much does an average household spend on food, rent, entertainment, utilities and other big expenses. How does this vary across states and urban/rural areas.
Where can I get more information on this topic.



Answer
I'll give you the averages for Texas and Florida for a family of Four (two adults, two kids)

Texas:
Rent: (2 bedroom apt) $800/month
Groceries: $750/month
Electric: $150 - $350/month (depending on time of year)
Entertainment: $100-$300/month
Daycare: $800/month

Florida:
Rent (2 bedroom apt) $1300/month
Groceries$750/month
Electric: $200-$400/month
Entertainment $150-$350/month
Daycare $1000/month

And don't forget your other expenses like Car note, Car insurance, wether you have to pay a Gas or Water Bill etc etc.

*Moved from Texas to Florida last year. The area REALLY makes a difference. The Texas rates I listed above were from Houston, but living in Central Texas in a small town, it was considerably less (so was the cost of living). We are now in the Ft Lauderdale Area, and everything is more expensive here.

Do you think the V8 and other large engines for automobiles will be outlawed in the next 10 years or so?

electric cars for kids 8 and up image



Warl�ck77


Sometimes I worry about buying a car with even a small V8, with new technology being explored for optional power. Maybe something will be introduced into automobiles that will push the V8s into oblivion.


Answer
Outlawed? No. Not Made? likelyâ¦. Just when Hot cars like Camaro ZL1 & Shelby Mustang come back with horsepower, the price of gas goes nuts. Result? The days of the high school kid with a muscle car are dead. You will have to pay $40K+ To even sit in a hemi car. The v-8 wonât dissappear. Detuned on power & offered with the new variable valve timing systems like dodge uses. Then for ordinary driving it will run on 4 cyl. and when you floor it, all 8 cylinders kick in. Thus the best of both worlds. High power & good mileage.

The threshold for gas guzzler taxes might be raised, and fuel costs may make them weekend toys and work vehicles only, but no. An 8 cylinder Corvette gets better fuel economy than a 4 cylinder Subaru STI. It just is NOT that simple.

Also, V8s donât get inherently worse fuel economy than 4 or 6 cylinder engines. There is more to it than that, and the big low-end torque of a V8 can actually help fuel economy if paired with really tall gearing. It depends on how the engine is tuned, the mass and aerodynamics of the car itâs in, and the transmission and differentials that it is mated with.

Yes, electric motors WILL push V8s into oblivion. They have even better low-end torque than a V8, so much so that the problem with using them in performance cars (like the Tesla) is that if you want to have multiple gears (most electric cars thus far are direct-drive) you need one hell of a tough transmission. An electric motor can hit a transmission like a sledgehammer making all itâs torque instantly, while a V8 starts off at nothing, itâs comparatively gentle.

Why do Rich People Win, Poor Kids Lose, in Obama’s America?

best electric cars for kids 2013
 on Nitro radio controlled cars petrol remote control car rc helicopter
best electric cars for kids 2013 image



Bill 92691


Want a clear indication of President Barack Obamaâs priorities? Take a look at the spending decisions emerging from his Administration today. In the battle between $40,000 dollar-electric-car-buying yuppies and at-risk kids in the DC Opportunity Scholarship Program, rich people won, and they have President Obama to thank for it.

The Winners:

Today, President Obama put the taxpayersâ money where his allegiances lie. The Daily Caller reports that the White House intends to increase taxpayer-funded subsidies for those who purchase new-technology vehicles, including the Chevy Volt, to $10,000 per buyer, up from $7,500.

In case you havenât been shopping for a Volt â and odds are, you havenât â the vehicle carries a hefty $41,000 price tag. So what kind of person benefits from that tax credit? General Motors says the average income of a Volt buyer is $175,000 per year. And according to Bill Visnic, senior editor for Edmunds.com, âThe Volt appeals to an affluent, progressive demographic.â In other words: rich yuppies.

The Daily Caller reports that the subsidy âwould cost taxpayers $100 million each year if it is approved by Congress, presuming only 10,000 new-technology autos are sold each year.â And if the President reaches his goal of putting 1 million of those kinds of cars on the road by 2015, the subsidy could cost $10 billion.

Why is the subsidy necessary? Itâs no big mystery. Despite the slick marketing, high-gas mileage, and environmentally friendly cachet that comes along with them, the cars just arenât selling. In January, General Motors sold 603 Volts â almost twice as many as in January 2010, but less than half of its total sales in December. And in 2011, GM missed its projected sales volume for the vehicle, shipping 7,671 of the vehicles â well short of its target of 10,000.

Automakers, of course, have a lot riding on the vehicles â but so does President Obama. His Administration has banked heavily on the vehicles being an important part of his energy policy and the ânew green economy.â That strategy, though, is failing. No matter how much the President wants consumers to buy electric cars, most consumers donât want them. But whether they like it or not, those consumers are subsidizing the buyers who do.

The Losers:

While the rich are riding in their taxpayer-subsidized electric cars, the losers in President Obamaâs America are at-risk kids languishing in under-performing schools in Washington, D.C. As part of his FY 2013 budget, President Obama eliminates funding for the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program, which throws a school choice lifeline to children who would otherwise be left hopeless in Washingtonâs public school system.

Thanks to the program, more than 1,600 low-income children in the nationâs Capital are using vouchers this school year to attend a school that they choose. The program has been a stunning success. Heritageâs Lindsey Burke writes:

According to federally-mandated evaluations of the program, student achievement has increased, and graduation rates of voucher students have increased significantly. While graduation rates in D.C. Public Schools hover around 55 percent, students who used a voucher to attend private school had a 91 percent graduation rate.
How much does this kind of success cost? A mere $8,000 per student, compared to the estimated $18,000 spent per child by D.C. Public Schools.

To be clear: $10,000 in taxpayer funds to subsidize the purchase of an electric car versus $8,000 to give a child a choice in education. We know what the President chose. Which would you pick?



Answer
You have a lot of time on your hands, don't you.

The Daily Caller is a conservative outlet.

Americans know where the Republicans stand when it comes to supporting the wealthy in this country - they can't do enough.

As for the poor, Mitt Romney could care less!

Should I buy a scion fr-s?




Dylan


Why or why not? If not, what else should I consider buying?


Answer
I was considering a new sports car recently so I test drove the 2013 FR-S, 2013 MX-5 Club Sport, 07 350z, Mazda RX-8, 05 Evo and STI, and the 2012 Mazdaspeed 3. I'm still in the process of testing other cars. I still have the Focus ST and VW GTI set in my sights to try out.

Here is my review of the FR-S. The electric steering surprisingly has some feel to it and it is sharp. The power is more than enough for daily driving and passing and it still feels quick. At 5'11", my head hit the rear glass window and my toes had no room to move when put under the front seat. My friend who is 5'9" fit more comfortably in the back, but his hair still touched the rear window. If you drive over a bump, his head would hit. Realistically, your passengers that sit in the back should be 5'7" or less in height.

The interior was well laid out and very ergonomic. It was obviously cheap, but designed well.

Here was one of my biggest problems. The trunk space. The width and length was fine. And the back seats fold down to create a larger trunk but the issue was the height of the trunk. You can barely fit a water bottle standing up in the trunk. I'm not even sure if a heavily packed school back would fit. A gallon of milk standing up will probably not fit unless you lay the milk sideways.

The other huge problem I had with it was the clutch in the manual transmission version. The clutch is extremely light. It is as if it does not even exist when you are pushing down on it. I hate that there is no feedback in it. It takes away from the driving experience.

The other issue was the price. It is listed around $24,600. However, dealerships are selling them for much higher prices because of the demand. The Toyota dealership I went to was asking $36,000 for the FR-S I drove. They claimed to sell one of the first ones they got for $41,000 a few months back. There is no wiggle room or haggling allowed on these cars.

Being a Toyobaru, I expect it to be a very reliable car with a good resale value and low maintenance costs. Being RWD, you cannot drive it in snow and it is slippery in rain. Toyota and Subaru made it worse by putting skinny Prius tires on the FR-S, making it slippery even on dry pavement.

Overall it is a good car for a single person with no kids and no need for a large trunk.

The best car I have test driven so far was the Mazda MX-5 Club by far. Again, it is for a single person. And the trunk is just as small as the FR-S'. But it was just so much fun to drive. I had a smile on my face during the entire test drive. And that engine loves to rev high. It is very peppy.

Is it legal to drive with your kid in a Baby Bjorn carrier?




reagan1861


I always wondered, and then I saw on some tabloid progam that the guy from Red Hot Chili Peppers was driving around with his kid strapped to him in a Baby Bjorn carrier. Is that OK? Since you would have the seatbelt on, technically the kid is belted, too. Or is it illegal? What if the airbag went off? Of course this guy was driving an electric car, so probably the max speed is like 10 MPH.


Answer
100% illegal. All children under the age of 18 must be seatbelted in their own seatbelt (can't share) and children under 4 years old and 40 lbs must be in a state approved carseat. Children under 1 year old and 20 lbs must be rearfacing in the carseat.

Would you allow yourself to be connected to the internet through a wireless interface?




Cacaodoc


You would be susceptible to all things computers are susceptible to. But online communication would be as easy as thinking it.

What if?



Answer
The electronic revolution of the past century has been a tangled affair. Remember when phones were always wired into the wall? When the internet required one more cord from the back of your computer? Wireless is the future, which is all well and good for information transfer. But what about energy itself?

Intel powers a lightbulb, wire-free.
New research is bringing energy transfer into the wireless world. Soon, a central hub could be charging your batteries, laptop, televisions, electric cars, you name it⦠right through the air. You might never untangle a wire again. Cool, right?
Wireless energy is built on the principle of resonant coupling. The devices use copper coils that, if tuned to the same frequency, can resonate with one another. One coil is plugged into the wall, and creates an electromagnetic field; another coil nearby resonates with the first field, picking up some energy in the process to fuel your electronics. The magnetic field lets energy flow regardless of obstacles in the way, so the current can travel through walls. Currently, the type of radiation involved can only resonate within a few meters.
Over the past few years, a number of companies have been racing to put wireless energy on the market. Last week, researchers at Intel showcased a wirelessly charged iPod speaker. In 2007, researchers at MIT revealed a similar project that powered a lightbulb remotely. The physicist and project leader Marin Soljacic (winner of a MacArthur âgenius grantâ Fellowship) went on to found the start-up WiTricity, which is leading the pack in developing a commercially viable product.

MIT's wireless lightbulb from 07. Credit: Science
The godfather of wireless energy transfer was Nikola Tesla, a brilliant and fascinating figure in the history of electrical engineering. In the late 1800â²s, Tesla showed that electromagnetic energy could be transferred wirelessly. He also postulated that some day, all of our electronics would be able to harvest energy that is naturally present in space. Thatâs probably a little further down Intelâs pipeline.
But wireless energy transfer is far from perfect. The coils still need to be shrunk down so they can be easily integrated into everyday electronics (unless you want giant metal rings all over your house). The distance limitation is a major hurdle, with the fields limited to a few meters at this point. The energy transfer isnât the most efficient process; MIT researchers transferred about 45% of the energy input, while Intelâs recent project showed an 80% transfer. That kind of energy loss poses a significant roadblock to the commercial viability of these technologies, as energy ainât free.

A WiTricity image of how the fields work
Everyone is racing to work out these kinks and become the first company to put something on the market. Intel hasnât announced any pipeline for their wireless tech; WiTricityâs business development guy claims that theyâll have something ready within 18 months. Regardless of who wins the race, Soljacic holds a patent on the research that started it all, which could let WiTricity play the old intellectual-property card. But what about Teslaâs grandkids?
Speaking of kids, wireless energy could help to make the household a safer place: no more wires for children to trip over, drop in the bathtub, or chew on. Okay, I donât have kids, but I imagine they cause all sorts of trouble with wires.
Sci-fi depictions of the future always riff on how the technology will be fueled. I always loved the idea of the future being powered through the giant steam ducts hidden behind every wall in Terry Gilliamâs Brazil. The 80â²s and 90â²s made an insurmountable tangle of wires seem like a more likely scenario. But now, wirelessness prevails. And if Tesla was right, maybe we can even lose the wall outlet.

Are pure electric cars and plug-in hybrid electric cars easier and cost less to maintain? Do they still have?

best all electric cars 2012
 on Apreli: Exotic Sports Cars
best all electric cars 2012 image



Edward


radiators, spark plugs, motor oil? When the battery in a plug-in hybrid electric car runs low, does the car automatically start the onboard generator without the driver doing anything? How long does it take to recharge a electric car to travel 15 miles roundtrip to work?


Answer
Electric cars are operated by electric motors. This is a fundamentally different engine than the heat producing internal combustion engine. They are essentially permanently lubricated and therefore don't require oil changes for the engine. Electric motors do not burn a fuel so do not require spark plugs. They are rotary engines so operate virtually vibration free and silent so do not need tune ups or mufflers. Commercial vehicles like the Nissan Leaf have regenerative braking so they are very light on the traditional brake system causing far less maintenance. One owner of a RAV4ev said that he did not have to perform any vehicle maintenance for over 5 years.

"Pure electric cars" as the term is used are battery electric cars that do not have a traditional engine or a generator. The power is transmitted to the vehicle and stored in batteries. Some electric vehicles may have a radiator that is used for liquid cooling of the battery system. The volt does but the Leaf has an air cooled battery system.

Some vehicles like the Volt are closer to series hybrids than a pure electric car. They have an electric motor that is the primary mover for the vehicle. They also have the traditional engine with all its associated maintenance. They never require charging to operate but the batteries will only last about 40 miles. After this the engine starts a generator automatically to continue the operation of the electric motor.

Parallel hybrids like the Prius are never plugged in and charge the vehicle when less energy is needed to power the vehicle. All energy comes from the fuel. (although the 2012 version can be plugged in for some fuel savings.)

Electric cars economy and charge times will vary. The Nissan Leaf EPA rating is 34 KW-hr to travel 100 miles or .34 kWh /mile. A 15 mile journey would then require (15 x .34=) 5.1 kW hr. You need to add about 5% for charger inefficiency so the total charge required would be approximately 5.36 kWh. If charging from a standard wall outlet (15 amp {1} x 120 volt power supply = 1800 watts or 1.8kW ) then the total charge time should be (5.36/1.8=) approximately 3 hours. If charging from a single phase 220volt x 22.5 {1} amp power supply = 5400 watts or 5.4kW ) then the total charge time should be (5.36/5.4=) approximately 1 hours.

What are we going to do with all of the batteries generated from electric cars?




Pied Husse


From the article:

"the industry has not figured out how to dispose of 500 plus pounds of the highly hazardous lithum batteries per car."

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/01/09/electric-car-subsidies-transferring-wealth-from-poor-to-rich/



Answer
First of all, of course, any valuable elements of batteries will be recycled. Automotive batteries are currently the most consistently recycled product on earth.
*
Secondly, lithium batteries simply do not contain anything very toxic. Below quote from http://www.myelectriccar.com.au/batteryeco.html
*
QUOTE: "Lithium ion batteries are made from nontoxic lithium carbonate (often used in ovenware), nontoxic cobalt oxide (used as a pottery glaze), nontoxic graphite (used in pencils), and a polymer (plastic) membrane. The most toxic components in the final product are the electrolyte and lithium cobalt oxide, neither of which are persistant in the environment and both of which are increasingly being replaced by more benign compounds. "
*
Unfortunately, the alternative - petroleum - is indeed quite toxic.

How much miles per gallon does it have and how many gallons are there in the most fuel efficient car?


Answer
The Honda Insight is EPA rated 42 MPG combined highway/city and a cruising range of about 400 miles.

The most efficient hybrid car is the Toyota Prius which is rated 50 mpg combined and has a cruising range of over 500 miles on a tank of gas.

There are electric cars that will do better but you asked about miles per gallon which implies there is a gas powered engine somewhere.

The Chevy Volt is rated 94 mpg combined EQUIVALENT when running on just the battery and 36 mpg combined when running on its gas engine. The Volt can do about 35-40 miles just on it's battery, after which the gas engine will kick in to charge the battery.

Can the Nissan Leaf and Smart Car Electric Drive use the same charging dock?




Sean


Okay so my girlfriend and I are considering getting electric cars. I want to get the Nissan Leaf and she prefers the Smart Car Electric Drive.

I'm wondering if we had a charging dock installed for one of the cars, if we could use the same for the other car? Or do we both have to get separate charging docks?



Answer
Probably, although it depends upon where you are located as the US and Europe have established standards (although different from each other) to enable public charging ports.

The power that comes from the wall is standardized in any event. The new standard in the US is the J1772 plug configuration on the vehicle and the mating part that comes from the wall. The charger on each car will adjust the incoming power to the batteries in the specific vehicle.

The chargers will also adjust to the incoming voltage and wattage. Which leads us to the standardized charge "levels" What you would be installing would be a level II "dock"

"LEVEL 1 CHARGING
⢠Portable âplugâ
⢠120 VAC standard outlet
⢠Delivers power from the wall to
the vehicleâs on-board charger

LEVEL 2 CHARGING (OVERNIGHT CHARGING)
⢠Fixed charging station
⢠208-240 VAC fixed installation
⢠Delivers AC power from the wall
to the on-board charger

LEVEL 3 CHARGING (DC FAST CHARGING)
⢠High powered fast-charge station
(like a âgas pumpâ)
⢠400-600 VAC fixed installation
⢠Delivers DC energy, bypassing
the on-board charger "1

Headed to Australia in about 1.5 years... advice on preparations?

One of the goals I've set for myself is to travel to Australia before I turn 30. Knocking on 28 right now, and so it's time to get everything set in motion.

I'm going to aim for Feb/Mar 2009. I plan to go along the Boomerang Coast... Sydney, Melbourne... may start at Brisbane. I've a few friends there.

Any must-sees along the way? I've never been out-of-country before. Do I need any vaccinations? How long does it take to get the visa cleared, and how much does the visa cost?



Answer
One must see and not too far out of your way is the Great Ocean Road running west of Melbourne. You could probably get a coach trip but it might be good to hire a car in Melbourne and drop it off at say Mt. Gambier, or you could head north from there through the wine growing country of South Australia.

The other thing is that you should spend 2 or 3 days in Canberra. The War Memorial & Museum is only beaten by the Imperial War Museum in London, they say. Also take a look at the Parliament House, built partially underground (!) in 1987 - 88 and open to all comers. Security checks apply but you can take all the photos you want - not while the houses are sitting of course.

An International Drivers Licence could ease the hiring of a car quite a bit. I looked into car hire recently and the larger companies actually did offer the best rates I could find.

We use Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Diners Club cards and a few others and there are plenty of automatic teller machines around the place and most of them are cross - compatible.

There are no endemic diseases here so vaccinations are not really a problem, we might be more worried about things you can bring with you! (Just kidding) A flu shot might be worthwhile.

Visas, well I've never had to get one but I'd allow a good 8 weeks, best to have it stashed rather than get worried whether it was going to arrive in time. A travel agent can advise you, but Australia has several consulates in the USA for instance and you can find them on the net.

If you are coming from the USA, don't bring electrical appliances, Australia uses 240Volts which will burn out US stuff before you can blink. Small dual voltage stuff like electric shavers are OK, but you will need an adapter plug. Your portable battery operated AM/FM radio will work fine. Some chargers for laptops and cell phones will work on 100 to 250 Volts without needing to set a selector switch, look at the charger. Hotels/motels offering internet connection are getting a lot more common even in rural areas but they tend to be at the higher end of the market.

Your cell phone might work if you get an Australian SIM card - check with your supplier. Cell phone coverage is good in the capital cities and larger towns, not so good in the small towns and along highways. Telstra has the best coverage.

Look at this site for electrical and phone information -

http://www.kropla.com/

http://www.accesscomms.com.au/Reference/powerplug.htm

Many Australian hotels/motels have hair dryers hard wired into bathroom walls and some have a 110 volt socket too. You can usually borrow a clothes iron and board from reception for free or a small fee and there is usually a guest laundry with auto washer and a drier.

Is this insurance fraud?




Mrs. Sandr


my husband and i rear ended someone at 2-4 mph,we hit their passenger corner with the our driver corner.
Now we are being billed fro $10,000 chiropractic bills for husband, wife and 2 toddlers. we received $1,000 bill for repair to the car but the estimate was only $300 (they took the car twice 6 month apart!) we are receiving $500 in maid bills.

it just seems drastic to me. taking kids to chiropractor, hiring a maid and taking the care to get fixed twice.



Answer
yeah. my fiance just went through this, actually. if the car repair place does not fix it correctly the first time, it is up to THEM (the car repair place), not you and your insurance, to fix it the second time. you paid to have it done right, it is not your fault that they didn't fix it right the first time. besides, the driver probably caused more damage to his car over the next few months, but that's not necessairly his fault if the car repair place didn't fix it right the first time. hiring a maid is in no way related to a car accident... what, are they going to start sending you their electric and water bills too? i suggest you go to your insurance agent's office pronto and get this sorted out. if they aren't being helpful, they might be ripping you off, in which case you'd better get yourself a lawyer. how can they possibly justify you paying their maid bills? it sounds like they are taking serious advantage of you, which is especially sad considering they have kids and are teaching them to pull crap like this. as far as the chiropractor bills are concerned, you deserve to know EXACTLY for what everyone is being treated, and you need documentation proving it is related to the accident. i was hit a few years back in a very minor accident, but i did sufffer some bad whiplash from it. but i just got some pain killers and it was gone within a couple days. the other person's insurance did have to cover the meds, but i didn't milk it for all it was worth. you need to step up and get documentation and proof of all this crap because it sounds like you are being cheated badly. if it turns out they are cheating you, you should not only be reimbursed, but you should also sue for the insurance fraud that caused you so much financial/emotional trouble.

is long haul truck driving a tough job?

electric cars for kids 12v
 on 12v Kids Mega Quad Bike - �149.95 : Kids Electric Cars, Little Cars ...
electric cars for kids 12v image



sasa s





Answer
Can be. Like someone else said, if you have kids/family at home, it's hard to meet your family obligations when you're gone all the time. Most long-haul jobs want you gone a minimum of 2 weeks, and you can plan on being out a month at a time if you want to see any money. There are regional/local opportunities out there that make it easier to be home more, though.

If you're single, laid back and pretty flexible, it's not that bad. When I started I was single....I put all my stuff in storage and I'd stay out here 3-4 months at a time. I met my husband out here and we still do the same thing, only we're not as lonely/bored at times! We run hard for months and take our time off in 1-2 week "chunks" wherever we feel like it....if we want to go to Vegas or see the Grand Canyon, we schedule time off in that area, rent a car/hotel room and GO!

You don't have to eat in truck stops- there are 12V coolers and hot-plates that plug into your cigarette lighter. Or you can put an inverter in your truck (converts 12V into household current) so you can plug in a mini fridge, microwave, crock pot, electric grill....not to mention a TV/DVD/game system, etc. Most Wal-Marts on the road have truck access and you can do your grocery shopping there, fix meals on the road and eat much better (and cheaper!) than in the truck stops.

Some truck stops are clean and have decent showers, some of them are crap-holes. But you learn where to go and where to avoid. You can usually ask on the CB whether or not a place has decent showers....you may get a good answer, you may not. Just wear flip-flops in the shower and carry a spray-bottle of disinfectant cleaner to spritz the shower floor & surfaces if you're going somewhere that doesn't look so nice. The water's clean and it'll get YOU clean, and that's the main thing.

It's by no means a glamorous lifestyle....there is bad weather, traffic, idiot drivers, jerk dispatchers/shippers/recievers. There's breakdowns, delays, sitting-and-waiting for no-particular-reason. There's loneliness and boredom. There's the difficulty of finding medical care if you get sick. There's driving in the Northeast, LOL....or any big city for that matter, it can be a headache. You will have days where you wonder why in the world you picked this career.

But if you're lucky, you'll have other days where you see beautiful places, see interesting things, meet good people, and realize that you're lucky enough to be free from the 9-to-5 rat race that most people suffer through. You'll sit in rush hour traffic in Chicago, and realize that even though it's aggrevating, at least YOU don't have to sit in it EVERY SINGLE DAY on your way to work, like the poor schlubs in the cars all around you. You won't get to work and have some boss breathing down your neck, or obnoxious gossipy office workers playing games of office politics.

It's all in how you look at it, your preferences and your priorities. I love it, clearly other people hate it....all I can say is try it and see what you think.

DC Motor size for a project?




Greg Z


What size DC motor and controller should I use to power a small car (simmular to a Little Tikes Car) with a 200lb person in it? Please include all specs of the motor. Thanks.
try to keep it cheap



Answer
The power can be determined for several situations:
How fast to go when cruising, and the friction and wind load under this condition.
Maximum acceleration with weight of completely loaded vehicle.
Maximum climb rate with weight of vehicle.

If it is just walking pace and no grades and minimal acceleration, I would say 200W. The motor size will dictate battery size too. It will need gears to match the motor speed to the wheel RPM. If you intend to run with this size motor and a 12V battery it needs to be a large 12V x 60-100AH battery to work well, though that will run for quite a few hours. A bigger motor is better with a 24V battery, and more as it gets bigger still.

Usually these things are determined empirically - experience with other similar vehicles determines what is satisfactory. It is best to look at similar ride on cars. Some kids cars may be more like 50W with a small battery but that doesn't work for long or well.

Consider electric disability/mobility scooters. These are only expected to run on flat hard surfaces, an the sizes mentioned above are something like the top end of these. I expect golf scooters are more powerful as they are intended to run on grass with grades. The third link shows an electric wheelchair for tough conditions with almost 1KW of motor power.
Motors will be specified for RPM and mechanical power in watts (the torque can be calculated from that. They are also specified for voltage to provide this RPM and maximum allowable current. Other important considerations are the cooling (if it has a fan it may not be able to run slowly without overheating), the gears built in or how to mount gears, bearing life, waterproof. Mobility and other scooters mentioned are often available second hand, and would be a good source of all the parts you need. You also need a speed controller and a battery charger to suit, and probably wheels and steering., axles etc.

The links below might give some ideas.

Make my mustang faster (srs)?




Like a bos


I've got an 04 GT with a few mods
Headers, high flow cats, straight pipes, corsa tips
cold air intake, electric supercharger
diablo sport tuner
4.10 rear end with locker

i go out racing last night the only thing i could beat was a few other mustangs, everything with a small block chevy or mopar raped me. my friends keep telling me to get a ls1 car like a camaro or corvette but i love my blue oval. what can i do without breaking the bank to get a leg up on these guys

i got beat by a 99% stock 98 camaro with only a EGR block off and axle back exhaust from a 30 roll

before anyone laughs about the electic supercharger i bought it originally as a gag.. then on a dyno day we messed around with it.. we ran the vehicle with a baseline of 310hp to the rear wheels, if we removed the intake tube from throttle body it made 318hp to the rear wheels, adding the e-charger without it being on and with the filter it made 308hp to the rear wheels, turning the echarger on it made 321hp to the rear wheels, doing the same but removing everything infront of it we made 325hp to the rear wheels.. so a successful gain of 11hp to the rear wheels.. so it's not like it adds boost it just helps clear the flow of air after the filter.. i've since removed to toggle switch and it runs whever the car is on.. i've driven from atlanta to dallas fort worth with it on the whole way no problems at all



Answer
Street racing I take it? Racing from a dig. Thanks for helping keep my insurance rates up. It's "kids" like yourself racing on the streets (don't care if it's a long straightaway in the countryside) that get cops after guys like us that just want to take our musclecars out for a cruise and a lot of cops looking for any reason to pull us over. Take your go-cart to the track and quit street racing. Until then nobody should be helping you get faster.

Indeed it is possible, kind of...
a lemon juice acts much like a car battery, just insert some zinc plates into it and connect up with wires to for a circuit and you have enough energy to light up a tiny bulb!

However i doubt it would have enough energy to run a tiny car electric driven motor with the additional weight of a lemon strapped to the roof... hmmm maybe if you held the lemon to take the weight off it might work ^_^

What is the scientific explanation of electric toy goes on and off on its own?




Lily_1981


My boyfriend recently passed away. (four months ago)
The other day, I had a small electric toy going off on its own. The toy is very small and it is battery operated. It was all of sudden turned on by itself without nobody touching it.
My friend says that my loved one came back paid me a visit. Well, as nice as it sounded, I am a big skeptic of this whole paranormal stuff. So what is the Scientific explanation of small electric toy (battery operated) turns it on by itself? thank you



Answer
Most likely a loose wire, either to or from the battery or connecting the "on/off" switch. A small vibrations near the toy, caused by someone walking nearby, a chair being moved, or any other motion that could vibrate the floor, could cause the loose wire to move just enough to make an electrical connection, turning the car on. Another vibration may have moved the wire enough to disconnect it, or it may have just slipped back on its own.

What are the chances of surviving 5 accidents?

First let me say, in any of these anyone else or myself were at all hurt. Every accident ended up totaling the car as well. Each accident was caused by me having a seizure and no I am not driving now so no comments are needed about me staying off the road.
. The first accident was me crashing into the back of a school bus. No kids were in the bus at the time. I slammed into the back of the bus, crushing the whole hood and engine of my car. I lifted up the back end of the bus and my car was covered to the windshield.
The second was caused by, flying up over a curb and running into a brick wall. The front end of the car and the engine were crushed together against the wall.
The third was running into a 20 foot wooden electric pole, knocking the pole to the ground and rolling over. I woke up hanging upside down in my car by my seat belt. I tried getting out on my own but had trouble because I was disoriented and unable to find the lock for the seat belt. The passenger side had the roof crushed down to the seat and arm rest about 6 inches away from my body. Then of course the front end was pushed in as well.
The fourth I was driving on the express way and blacked out. When I blacked out I went to the left and dragged the driver side again the cement wall. I woke up shortly after, still driving with half the car dragging on the ground. I drove off the express way and got into a walmart parking lot a ways down the road so I could figure out what to do. In that crash the whole driver side was smashed in, the window was shattered and half of the car was dragging across the ground.
The fifth one was driving down the express way again going about 70 and blacking out. I crashed into the back of a car causing the car behind me to crash in my back end and spinning me across four lanes. When I was spinning across those lanes I hit a hummer and ended up crashing head on into a tree down on the side of the road. I woke up from that already standing outside my car trying to figure out what to do.
As I said in any of these accidents I never got a scratch on me or anyone else. I am wondering what you think the chances are of me and everyone else surviving those. Also, after hearing this does it make you think of guardian angels? Or even God preventing everything bad from happening for some reason?
I forgot to say what kind of car each accident was done in. The first was a 2001 crown victoria, the second a 2000 nissan altima, the third a 2005 Mitsubishi lancer, the fourth a 2006 bmw z3 convertible and the final vehicle a 2008 chrysler sebring convertible. By the way in the final crash the air bags did not go off.

Do you think the government should force manufacture of fuel effciant cars?




Nate H


They have electric roadsters that do 0-60 in 3 seconds and have a 100 mile plus range lineing up for production. Just add a small desile generator and some solar panels and it will get 100 to infinity miles per gallon. Why don't they mandate hybred and solor car manufacturing! Think they should make a limit on how much fuel a vehical can consume? Like 1 gallon per hour private and 3 commercial?


Answer
You can't mandate something like that.

The consumer dictates what will be built. The companies respond to that.

When gas got to $3.00 a gallon, SUV and pickup sales went down to its lowest levels since 1995. People were looking into more efficient cars. Toyota and Honda had already thought ahead and been producting them. The government encourages it by giving tax breaks and allowing them into HOV lanes. The US car makers were still churning out SUV's and fell behind yet again. Now Toyota is poised to become the number one car maker because they're able to think ahead, innovate, and respond quicker to the market.

Now that gas is back to $2.06 a gallon, people are going *whew* and are driving SUV's again. But there is a percentage that are thinking ahead and are selling their SUV's and buying the Toyota's and Honda's.

You can blame the SUV and Minivan market in part on the increased safety levels required by the government. Since they require car seats for each kid, a family with three kids needs a larger vehicle so Minivan's were born. Guys were harassed about driving a "minivan" so the car manufacturers created SUV's to satisfy a guy's ego.

Then you have the Hummer type ads. You've seen them. Where they harass the moms now, calling them wimps and pressuring them to buy Hummers. What a bunch of crap.

What are the good restaurants at Epcot and Hollywood Studios in Disney?

Is the restaurant where you sit in car seats any good? Has anyone ever eaten there?


Answer
There are a few restaurants in each park that are very good places to eat. Here are a few of our favorites:

Disney Studios:

Sci-Fi Drive in - eat in cars while watching old sci-fi movie footage. Food was great, price not outrageous (as compared to other Disney restaurants), and the atmosphere was really cool. We ate here when we visited in March, and my kids loved it.

50's Prime Time Cafe - Eat in a kitchen with "Mom" or "Auntie" as your server. Better eat all your veggies and keep your elbows off the table, or you will hear about it. Food was good, pretty much what you would expect from a 50's type restaurant.

Hollywood Brown Derby - Signature dining for Disney. More of an upscale place to eat. Good food, but more of a fancy meal than a fun one, in my opinion.

Mama Melore's Restorante Italiano - Outstanding italian food, Great atmosphere.


Epcot:
Le Celier - Canada - Good steakhouse. The food was excellent and the price was not as bad as I expected, for a restaurant on Disney property.

Nine Dragons restaurant - China- some of the best Chinese food that I have ever had. Nice selection, decent prices.

La Cantina De San Angel - Mexico - Excellent for Mexican cuisine, and I am not a big fan of the spicy food. You sit along a waterway and eat with an exploding volcano in the background. One of our top 5 in all of Disney.

Biergarten restaurant - Germany - I love German food, and this buffet was worth every penny.

The only restaurant I do not recommend in Epcot is the Electric Umbrella or the American Pavillion in the U.S.A. These were not so good when we tried them, food was dry an pretty tasteless, not worth the money.

Those are our favorites for the places you asked about, but there are a whole bunch more. I would suggest checking out the disboards. The disboards is a message boards website all about going to Disney. You can get restaurant reviews and suggestions, resort reviews, tips for avoiding crowds, and more info than you can possibly imagine. I would also check out the Disney website and use their dining finder. Tons of info there as well.

Hope this helps, have a great trip!

How has Biodiesel affected you or your truck?

I am seriously considering using a b20-b99 blend for a 10 year old Ford F-350 powerstroke truck. If anybody has had problems with this in a stock engine please let me know. Thank you!


Answer
I still think that people are so ignorant when it comes to electric
cars they only think of one way to make them run and that's batteries.
Its like you lost your mind and have no innovated ability to think of
more than one source of power. Every year people spend millions of
dollars to go to the gym they hop on bikes and treadmills and
ellipticals and pedal away for hours and then pay their gym for it.
Then they hop in their car and pay gas to ride home. The answer was
right in front of your face when you watched the Flintstones as a kid.
Do remember the car on the Flintstones. Hmm, not so stupid now is it?
Do remember how boats got across the ocean? Have you ever held your
hand outside the window and felt the power of the wind resistance
against your hand? The faster you went the more force you felt
pushing against your hand right. Have you noticed that the quality of
solar powered panel technology has increased tremendously in the last
twenty years. The quality of of generators and electric engines is
also there. Our government has manged to keep all of this from you
because they believe you are all ignorant and set in your ways. They
could make cars that run with out wheels but our government would
never allow it to be mass produced. If you had the means to build a
car that had electric generators that produced electricity via wind
power, Human power "recumbent bike pedals", Solar power and maybe some
lithium batteries you would have a car that would go thousands of
miles without ever needing to be charged or fueled.
But will this ever be allowed. Its amazing that china and japan have
magnetic trains that never touch the track they actually float be we
never use that technology. Its no wonder they do not put any emphasis
on science. They want us to remain ignorant and in the dark. They want
you to keep forking all the billions of dollars in tax revenue. They
want the price of fuel to sky rocket because most of them own the
stock. The only way to overcome the greed is to take matters into our
own hands and break the grip of Fuel mongrels from ourselves by building
our own fuel free cars. I just showed you the way. Now all you have
to do is " Just Do It!"
My method overcomes the perpetual energy law crap because you get extra energy, Via Human power and solar power! The sun is the source of unlimited free power and so what if you have to pedal your car for it to go long distances. I just saved you from getting fat as hell.
