Building an electric car for school?

cutiepie.3

We have less than two weeks to build an electric car in class. Our energy sources are two AA batteries. The Chassis size is 12 cm X 30 cm. The driveline options are gears, pullies, wheels, chains, propellers, etc. It also must have an on or off switch. I'm not very experienced in this field so any recommendations on how to get this all to work is greatly appreciated. Thnx :)

Answer
There are plenty of instructions on the web. You just have to know how to search it. Try these:

http://www.ehow.com/how_4910601_build-toy-electric-car.html
here is a video: http://www.greenoptimistic.com/2008/04/19/how-to-build-a-solar-powered-car-for-your-kids/
http://www.miamisci.org/girlsrise/session2/beta/Car.html

The main trick with any of these is going to be finding the parts in a limited amount of time. You may have to see what is available locally rather than on the web. Look in a $1.00 store for a hand held battery fan for a motor. It won't have a gear but you might be able to use the fan to power the vehicle. Good luck

Is it illegal to ride an electric scooter under the recommended age in NYS?

Answer
think of it as driving a car, would you let a 12 year old drive the car

they are under the recommended age but that doesnt mean anyone would let their 12 year old child drive it.

i still think the law applies to scooters and should be treated as such that you should be the appropriate age to ride and operate the scooter

Using a solar panel to charge a 6 V. electric childs car battery?

italo

I have a childs electric car, for the 4-6 year old. It runs on a 6V 4.5 Ah sealed lead acid battery. This car came from Spain and has only a 220V charging unit that cannot, of course, plug into a standard American outlet. When I got it the battery was at 5.4 V and the motor wouldn't run. I initially recharged it with my car charger that had a 6 volt setting. I disconnected it at 6.7 V and checked it on the motor and the motor ran fine, though not under the load of a child riding around. I removed it from the motor hookup and after 24 hours the battery dropped to 6.37V this morning and seems to be decreasing slowly (to 6.35 after two more hours).

Since my grandson comes every two weeks and will be using it only for at most 1-2 hours or less.

Instead of looking for any adaptor or adapting an American adaptor to the wiring, I would like to know if I can use a solar charger. It sits on the dashboard of a vehicle and plugs into the cigarette lighter outlet. It puts out 19 V. in full sun and the solar panel part is 3.5x11.5 inches.

The plan is to buy a cigarette lighter outlet, hook it to the wiring of the battery, and use the solar charger between his visits while the car sits in the patio.

1. Do I have to worry about the 19V output of the solar charger?
2. Do I have to worry about harming the battery if I just leave it plugged in during the two week interim (or more) when he is not visiting in order to keep it topped off?
3. Is there anything else I should know about this idea.

Thanks.


The European charger is 230V ~50Hz 18.4W and outputs to 6V 1000mA 6VA
Here is the link to the solar charger:

http://www.4lots.com/browseproducts/Battery-Saver-Plus-1.0-Watt.html
I also found in my computer box two power supplies for stuff long gone: one has an output of 6V 800mA and the other is 6V 200mA. Would either of these work? My question about the solar panel still stands with the new info in the link.

Answer
The battery is doing what good sealed lead acid batteries do; slow decline in voltage after being disconnected from the charger.. Battery sounds good.

There are several things you can do:

Use the 220v you have in your house wiring, just get the right plug adapter by asking at a GOOD hardware or electric store. I think things that are designed at 50 cycle work fine at 60 cycle.

BEST:Get a European to USA adapter rated at 25 watts or More.

Buy a second identical battery for the car, hook them in series and top off their charge using the solar charge on trickle after doing the bulk charge with the 6v charger.

Using the present 6v charger on a timer.

Buy a decent 6v smart SLA charger on-line or at Batteries Plus, which also might be a good resource for your situation.

Do not use the solar charger for two weeks without modification to the circuit, it could really shorten the lifetime of th battery depending on the solar's output.

Why are young people becoming way more mature than people were say in the 60s,70s,80s, etc.?

Gavin..

Like, not just trying to grow up too fast, or just trying to act older. Like the minds are actually maturing way faster.
No, this question isn't full of irony.

Answer
In hard times, young people appear to grow up (mature) faster than in good times. Between 1945 and 1973, the United States enjoyed a post-war economic boom that was unprecedented.

Cheap oil and gas were readily available and the suburbs expanded. Millions of Americans were catapulted out of poverty and into the clean, comfortable middle-class for the first time in history. Their kids were able to enjoy lives and creature comforts that were unknown to them like televisions, cars, transistor radios, motorcycles, electric guitars, amusement parks, fast-food restaurants and video games, just to name a few.

However, that period began ending around 1973 or '74. Since that time, life has been getting tougher for a lot of American families once more and we are seeing some of the results of it with rising gang activity and more teenagers quitting high-school and going to work instead. That's what most American teenagers did before the Second World War too.

Actually, throughout most of history, kids were treated as miniature adults. They began going to work as soon as they could walk. It was only the economic prosperity periods of the 1920's, and especially the post-World War II era that enabled them to enjoy a true childhood instead.

If we don't have a strong, middle-class centered economy, powered by cheap energy sources, things will inevitably start going backwards again. . . and that's what seems to be happening right now.

(I heard Bush has put a motion detector for those sneaky sneaky mexicans) And i hope they put a electric current through the fences soon) I WANT THEM TO HAVE A SHOCK IN THEIR SYSTEM!!!!

Answer
A letter to the President

Dear President Bush

I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this.

I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.

So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over. Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.

2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.

3. All government forms need to be printed in English.

4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.

5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.

6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flagpole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.

7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.

8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.

9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.

10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from
President Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.

11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my housetop, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.

12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.

13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.

I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that President Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P.

Thank you so much for your kind help.

Advantage of electric powered car by means of transportation?

Destiny

I want to know what are the other good benefits of an electric powered car aside from being ecofriendly to a country or to the society..:D i want also to know if a car which is powered by electricity is faster than an ordinary one..

Answer
An electric car can accelerate faster than a ICE vehicle due to full torque at 0 rpm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=369h-SEBXd8

Batteries are usually placed on the bottom of an electric vehicle. This lowers the center of gravity improving handling and making it far more difficult for the vehicle to tip over: http://www.commutercars.com/

An electric car is about 6 times as efficient as an ICE vehicle:
"The [Tesla] Roadster's motor efficiency, battery-to-wheel, is 92% on average... For comparison, internal combustion engines have a tank-to-wheel efficiency of about 15%." http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Tesla_Roadster

An electric vehicle can travel further on the energy used to refine a gallon of oil then an ICE vehicle can travel using the refined product: see "How Much Electricity is used to run gasoline cars?" at: http://www.evnut.com/gasoline_oil.htm

An electric car is a zero emissions vehicle (ZEV.) If the electricity comes from a clean source the EV will be part of a Zero emissions vehicle transportation system. Even the combination of an electric vehicle and a coal fired power station is cleaner than a gasoline vehicle. http://www.electroauto.com/info/pollmyth.shtml
"Might as well leave the oil in the ground!" http://planet.betterplace.com/forum/topics/electricity-vs-oil

The electric vehicle can actually get cleaner as it gets older if the source of its electricity becomes cleaner. An ICE vehicle gets dirtier as it ages and the engine carbons up.

The electric vehicle uses a domestic fuel. Almost all the electricity used in the US is from domestic sources. (Some electricity is produced in neighboring countries and some is made from oil produced in foreign countries.)

If an electric vehicle has power transmitted to if from the roadway it does not need batteries: http://www.thedailygreen.com/living-green/blogs/cars-transportation/electric-highways-electric-cars-460909

Electric vehicles can easily be fitted with regenerative braking allowing them to recover some of the energy contained in forward movement. This increases efficiency and reduces wear on any braking system.

Electric vehicles have very few moving parts in the drive train and operate at far lower temperatures. This means maintenance will be far less than an ICE vehicle, parts will wear more slowly, with fewer parts repairs will cheaper and not usually required.

Electric vehicles have no oil or air filters, to change the control systems are electronic and not mechanical to go out of adjustment. There is no radiator to overheat or freeze. It requires no antifreeze.

Electric vehicles use an existing infrastructure, the power grid, for fuel. Some reports suggest over 84% of our present fleet of vehicles could be charged with existing equipment if they were charged at night. Electrified roadways would eliminate the need for charging or be used to charge vehicles as well as power them. http://www.redherring.com/Home/pages/print/posts/?bid=deb0b00e-4e3d-46d8-920f-3eb04aa32b13&mode=Full

what happen to the electric car?

kid_dj

I see the hybrid idea but what about having your own personal solar panal that you plugged the car into? (just a idea)

Answer
------------------
The electric car never went away. But the best battery technology for electric cars, called NIMH, was purchased by some big oil companies, who are refusing to license NIMH batteries for electric cars. This stopped the electric vehicle movement for several years.
*
Now, however, a new battery technology for electric cars has emerged, the lithium-ion battery. And many new electric cars are in development. We may even start to see some of these cars in the next year or two. A sampling:
*
From China: The Happy Messenger - only costs $10000, goes 150 miles per charge:
http://www.greencarcongress.com/2005/12/chinese_ev_comp.html

Also from China: the BYD car, designed to be affordable, with a 250-mile range:
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=106930

The GEO EV, from Korea. It goes 155 miles on a three hour charge:
http://joongangdaily.joins.com/200505/18/200505182238171109900090609062.html

Also from Korea. The ENERGINE Electric-Pneumatic hybrid.
It runs on air and electricity. No gasoline:
http://www.energine.com/e_main.php

From Japan. The Subaru R1E. Charges to 90% in 5 minutes, costs under $18000:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8995780

Also from Japan. The Mitsubishi Colt EV. It can charge in 20 minutes, and is priced under $20k.
http://aftermarket.autoblog.com/2006/10/12/mitsubishi-looks-ahead-with-an-electric-i/

A chinese EV slated for import to the USA next year. It gets 200 miles/charge, and costs $28,500.
http://www.milesautomotive.com/products_xs200.html

The Tesla sports car:
http://www.teslamotors.com
*
And if you don't want to wait - and if you don't mind not having the very latest technology, there are many small entrepreneurs doing electric car conversions right now, that you can buy for as little as $5000. Details are on this page:
*
http://squidoo.com/cheap-electric-car/
*
Don't believe what people are saying about batteries. Even the old tech batteries (lead-acid) are very affordable. The battery pack in my EV costs under $1000, and lasts for 20,000 to 30,000 miles. That's only four cents per mile. Electricity to charge the batteries only costs one cent per mile. That's way, way cheaper than gasoline.
*
Best of luck!

Should I buy an electric car?

Q. I heard it cost only 3 cents to drive it than 16 cents on a gasoline car...might not seem much but in this economy? *Sigh* every penny counts.

Answer
Long time electric car driver here. You will hear a lot of negative information about electric cars - do not despair. Most of the negative arguments against electric cars are badly out of date, exaggerated, or even just made-up. Examples:
*
OUTDATED: The coal argument. Most electricity is NOT made from coal anymore, in the US. Just a third of our electricity was made from coal in 2012 (source: US Energy Information Administration). And it was all baseload power - this means the coal plants all run at 100% output already - they can't run any harder, or make any more pollution if you plug in an EV. (Other types of plants come on line instead.)
*
OUTDATED: The battery argument. Old technology batteries needed replacement every 5 years. New technology batteries don't. Hybrid cars, for example, use updated battery technology. Some of the earliest hybrid cars today have up to 400,000 miles on their original battery packs.
*
You are right about the low cost of fuel for an electric car. The 13 cents/mile savings you point out adds up fast. In a year of driving (15,000 miles), you would save about $2000.
*
After just five years of ownership, you've saved $10,000. So if you bought a Mitsubishi i-MiEV, or a Nissan Leaf (both cost about $21,000 after tax credit), it's like getting a new car for $11,000. Or if you bought an electric Smart car ($17,500 after tax credit) it's like spending just $7,500 for a new car.

Can we expect a gas-electric hybrid car by 2012?

Blizzard outside, 6 kids, HELP!?

baby oh's

I am in my home in broomfield, CO. It's 10 degrees F outside and all our electricity and heating is out. The only power we have is from my battery powered laptop. My husband is on a business trip until sunday, so I am snowed in by four feet of snow and I have my six little kids with me!

All you can see is white outside and nothing in the house. OUr heating is out and so we are freezing our butts off.

I have no phone service.
Tell me what I can do I have a huge problem.

My kids are ages 6,4,4,3,2 and 13 days, yes I have a thirteen day old with me.

Two of my kids have the vomit bug and they are sick as dogs, plus I cant see to find any flashlights or candles.

Everybody is so scared and I have no phones, no close way to get help, and no possible way I am going to dig my way out of four feet of snow and get my 6 little kids, two barfing their guts out and one only 13 days old out in the freezing a*s*s cold weather to get into a car and drive to somwhere safe. Please help!!!
Gee, well I cant exactly email anybody right now as most my family has no email adn there is no neighborhood/city website to get an email adress!

I am trying to keep us as warm as possible, but I am almost out of warm winter clothes for my little sick children that make a mess every 10 minuets, and I can't get mad because it's not their fault they got the stomach flu in the middle of a blizzard!!

I just hope you will all pray for me, my kids, and all the other fammilies in my town!

Thanks so much!
Okay, we made it through the night!

But now three are sick and I cant even cook breakfast so they are all eating box cerial!

I feel so bad, but they are just happy as could be looking out the window at 5.5 feet of snow!

Poor things slept in the bathroom! My three taht are sick wanted me, so we move a mattress into our king size master bath room, two that were not sick slept in the bathtub with five down filled blankets! they were fine, they LOVED it!

On the other hand, my three sicklings are sleeping on the matress, and a put baby in his carrier by me. They are much better now, but still sick. I have them eating applesauce and so far, so good!

But thank you all for answering! Although we are not out of danger yet!!!

our front door is frozen shut!!

If you have any extra Ideas, please help!!!

Answer
(1) email friends (as many as you can), neighbors, colleagues, etc. Explain. Ask them to call the police, fire, red cross, disaster services, electric company, etc. to send help.

(2) repeat Step (1) with your electric supplier. Their email number is probably on your bill. If not, google it.

(3) Repeat Step (1) with your local police, fire, red cross, other local emergency services.

(4) Have all your children put on winter coats, two pair of socks, and a hat. Keep your littlest one huddled up to you, in a child carrier, underneath your jacket, as much as you can. Try to stay in one or two rooms for the most part, to conserve body heat. Hang an extra blanket from the windows to retain what little heat there is. Keep the door shut.

(5) If your neighbors have power, try emailing them for help. Google their addresses if possible. You would not want to go there and leave your children unattended, or take your kids through that much snow.

(6) pray. Others will see this and pray too.

Hope this helps!

Have you ever had your car broken into?

<3Juicy.Co

Or house?

My Moms business was broken into last night.

Answer
My car was broken into by a couple of kids once. My husband to be and I were one block away from our apartment at church....going through the pre-wedding meetings with the pastor. I left my bosy (ages 10 and 8) at home with the neighbor upstairs checking on them. They were a little nervous so they kept looking out the window....the last time, they saw my dome light on and someone rummaging around in there. They ran upstairs to get the neighbor and by the time the police got there, the heathens were gone. All they took was a bunch of change in the cup holder. Luckily.

My house...I can't prove it, but I think someone was staying in the apartment I shared with my ex-husband during the day when we were at work and the kids were at school. We'd come home to find cigarette butts in the toilet (neither of us smoked and my kids were young...5 and 7. Pop would be missing, crumbs would be on the counter, the shower wall would be wet....and our electric bill went up quite a bit. It was a double..one of those apartments where the garages are in the middle and the apts. are on either side. Our neighbors swore they never saw or heard anything but I knew something was up because I came home once to an unlocked door and the fridge door was wide open. It was enough to convince us to move.


My son had his car broken into. They stole the face plate to his CD player (rendering it useless) and broke the locks on the drivers door and the trunk. My hubby also had his tires slashed....about 20 reports came in that night about tires being slashed.

Can anyonce please let me know Cost of living in KL, Malaysia. I have been offered monthly pay of RM8500.?

panks2506

Is this enough money for the family of three ( me , wife and kid 2Yrs ) so that I can save some ? Your inputs are really valuable for me to take decision, I'm currently in India.
Thank you very much Dante for so much of useful information !! It will definately help me in various ways!!!

Answer
http://www.expatforum.com/articles/cost-of-living/cost-of-living-in-malaysia.html

Thats a good article on cost of living in that area...

It says the cost of living for a house is around 100 to 150 euros now based on your said income of 8500 ringgits = 1,697 euros you should be more than ok.


But according to this gentlman it would seem somewhat more expensive...Decent (furnished) condo in one of the Damansaras or such as TTDI/Sri Hartamas (per month):-
One-bedroomed : RM2,000 perhaps less.
3-4 bedroomed : RM3-4,000
Electricity : RM80-RM250 (depending on # of occupants)
Water/Indah Water : RM20-RM50
Gas : RM30-40
Eating out at local foodstalls : RM5-RM10 per person per meal
Eating out at western restaurants : RM25-RM100 per person per meal.
Draught beer in a pub : RM8-RM12 per mug (1/2 pint). Look for "happy hours"!
Premium cigarettes : RM9 per 20-box.
Taxis from the named suburbs to city centre : RM15-RM20 each way.
Car hire : RM120-RM150 per day (but much better rates for long term lease)
Petrol : RM1.80 per litre

I'd personally recommend you look around in TTDI, especially if your wife and daughter join you, as this is close by the huge shopping complexes of 1 Utama and Mutiara Damansara, which will be convenient for your wife (no need to go downtown for anything). There are also international schools in the vicinity, and it's generally quite a pleasant (green) and safe area where good English is spoken by almost 100% of the residents and shop/business keepers.
Many ex-pats incline to Mont Kiara, but this is rapidly becoming an oppressive concrete jungle.
There are usually units to rent in Villa Flora or Kiara Park at (fairly) reasonable rates, both of which are well-run, secure condominiums, and a few minutes from the Kenchala (sp) link, which will scoot you into and out of town.

Apparently its all about location...Well, if you don't really mind the inaccessibility to foreign grocers, pubs or a decent Montessori, I'd recommend, since your office is in KL, to stay in somewhere like Sentul or Gombak. You can get a decent 2-room apartment for about RM700. Electricity, let's just say you have no air-con but you have a computer, fridge, hot-water shower, electric kettle and iron, perhaps RM100. Food I don't know how to quote, but to get 3 decent meals a day (and I'm talking about keeping it about RM20 per person per day) it would cost about RM2000 for 3 people. The rest for transport it depends, you taking LRT, car, taxi or bus? Let's just say you take the LRT, I'd give it about RM100. Well, I guess all in all, to just survive decently, you'd need about RM3000 for you and your family.

Its a multi racial country. Living in the cities you get everything that Singapore has but less expensive. Living in smaller towns, its cheaper. Travelling from North to South by driving takes 7 hours via highways with tolls. Cost of living: Heavy Breakfast RM4.00, Heavy Lunch + Juice RM9.00, Heavy Tea time RM 4.00, Heavy Dinner + Juice RM 10.00 and Supper RM 5.00.
We Malaysian eat hell of a lot. There are stalls, shops everywhere and every time is food. Even McDonalds is 24/7.

Cities Rent a room Rm300 per month, towns RM300 the whole house. No guns, only the government has it and the underworld drug dealers. Death to all drug peddlers. You can't find gunshops and very limited shooting range. Even rich people can't get guns. Excellent schools and hospitals. English widely spoken. Imagine Malaysian nurses can easily migrate to Australia, just pass the IELTS tests. That's quality. Learn more for those interested. Especially the British, UK the senior citizen should just sell their London home and live in Malaysia. Small homes in London cost 1 million pounds that's RM 7 million.

What are some effective but easy ways people can save energy?

ksenia

Answer
Monitor your electricity use by buying a Kill-A-Watt or other such monitor.

http://the-gadgeteer.com/review/kill_a_watt_electric_usage_monitor_review

'An average household uses about 4300kWh of electricity each year. This results in emissions of over 2 tonnes of CO2 per household, or ¾ tonne per person - just for domestic electricity supply. In comparison, total CO2 emissions per person in the UK are around 10 tonnes, and emissions per person in India are about 1 tonne. Luckily, it is possible to cut domestic electricity use in half with simple energy efficiency measures.
'This table shows how electricity use is divided up in an average house (excluding electric heating):

Lighting 19%
Cold Appliances 18%
Wet Appliancs 15%
Cooking 15%
Consumer Electronics 19%
ICT (computers, etc) 9%
Other 5%'

Bought faulty car off eBay. Do I have rights?

J*M*H

Last Monday I bought a car off eBay that I thought was going to be a good deal. I got it for £850, and it came with 12 months MOT, but no Tax. It's a Fiat Stilo. This is the advertisement (copied and pasted) -
02 Plate Fiat Stilo 1242cc 16valve

One owner from new, in good condition inside and out for an 8year old car
(Dint on front passenger door & scratch on drivers side as pictured, not major)
Just had water pump and timing belt kit
12 Months MOT
No tax
Drives like new
Electric windows
Central locking on key

No PX
I am open to offers
Cash on collection only


Here's the problem, when I started to drive the car back, I noticed there was something dodgy about the clutch. As I was changing gear it started over revving, so the clutch was slipping. I also noticed that the steering wheel was making a funny 'clangging' noise when I turned the wheel.

We took the car down to the motor garage the next day, and he confirmed that the clutch is going and it definately needs replacing. I've had this confirmed by one more garage and a mechanic friend. We also found out (when giving it a service) that the reason the clutch was slipping was and knackered was because the gear shaft was coated in oil, probably because the gaskets gone and pouring oil out!

The other problem is that the back passenger door on the drivers side doesn't lock properly! If I manually push the catch down when it's open, it doesn't lock. I can literally push the catch open with my fingers. Which would explain why the door flew open when driving yesterday - whilst my kids were in the back!!!

What I want to know is -

Can I make the guy pay for the repairs to the car? Since it's not very drivable, and he stated 'Drives Like New'?!

Also, should the car have passed it's MOT with the door being like that?

The guy says it drove perfectly for him, but I can't believe that as it is noticeable!

Thanks

Answer
In the £850 market you have just learned that you need to test drive first. I bought a £950 car last week, I even put £5 of petrol in it to give it a decent test drive. Found lots of faults not mentioned in the advert, thankfully all minor and now mostly fixed for a few quid. Cars at that age an mileage all have problems, you need to find the ones where the worst problems not mentioned, though numerous are like my car, CD player, remote, interior lights, brake light, cruise and air con all broken and not mentioned in the advert. Mechanically though it really is good as new and that is what matters at that price. Sorry but it's a tricky market, learn, pass the car off to the next mug who hasn't learned and get a true bargain banger.

what should i charge to install an electric double car garage with an opener?

David

my neighbor, older man, needs a new garage door. I do know how to install one. This one is the BIG one. He needs the all the electrical done as well. I am an electrician full time, part time construction worker. So, some advice a to how much should I charge my neighbor without working for free... Got 4 kids and bills myself to pay, thank you

Answer
cant go wrong with 40 bucks a hour, half charge what a company would charge. 10% markup for finding and buying the door and material. take a couple of ur kids and put them to work.

hybrid electric cars and cost and building one?

Ashley1nOn

i was wondering im only a teen.. i wondered if you are driving the electric cars/gas....yes you are saving money on gas... but how much oney are you having to spend on your home electric bill just to recharge your car.. different areas have different price in electric bills and where i live the price is pretty steep. .so just charing the car is going to cost you home wise....then of course you have to pay for all of the instalation of the elctric system.. you have to get the battery change out...i have heard that there rattled in these hybrid cars when the swtich from gas and go to electric...



my main question is.... are you really saving when you buy hybrid cars........or should you wait on the hybrid cars to come out(later date) so all the kinks in the car are gone...


also wih building a car.. a group of kids and i have a dodge challenger(mine 09 suppercharged i got a new one cult enegry10 srt8 yayyyyme) but what we have done was get a used hhybrid car and took the battery out we have been working on the car for a while to get it to efficenly work on the challenger... it runs smooth and great.... the only problem is that you have to switch it over to hybrid or gas before you turn the car on.... we were wondering is there anyway we could get the car to switch over while the car is on say we are at a red light and want to to it back to gas... what would be a better way to have it.. its a diesel hybrid what we call it.. we did alot of modifacation to make sure it works properly and runs smooth because we still wanted a hot muscle car sound...


so is there anyway we can get the car to switch over while we are driving....



thank you very much,
the future of cars



sorry for my bad spelling


oh and we can get the car to get 23mpg on the electric and 17mpg for just the gas

Answer
You pay 1/4 as much (to go the same distance in the same car) for electric as you do for gas.

Installing a 220V 30A breaker doesn't cost much at all. That can charge an electric car at 15 miles per hour (15 miles of range for each hour of charge). That's as much as you need. For faster charging than that you need to install a special box.

Hybrid cars will get less expensive as the price of the batteries goes down. How much you save in gas depends on the price of gas and how much you drive. Can you predict what the price of gas will be in the next 7 years? Of course not, no one can. But I'll tell you this, it aint going to go down. At $4.00 per gallon, your savings in gas usually out weighs the higher car payment.

Listen dude, we don't know what components you're using in your car or how you have it wired up. How are we supposed to know how to rewire your own creation? But I'll tell you this, taking off from a red light, it's better to have electric and diesel at the same time as opposed to just diesel.

People often think of hybridizing as a way of saving fuel, but that's not actually the case. It's a way of increasing the power without burning that much more fuel. Some car manufacturers use it as a way of getting super high gas mileage by using a super small engine and still having enough power to move. But you could just as easily use it as a speed mod. Like a super charger or nitrous, only instead of burning more fuel and shortening the life of your engine, you burn the same amount and lengthen the life of your engine.

Why can't there be a continuously charging electric battery car....?

Seebob

When I was a kid, I had a light on my bike that was powered by a generator that worked by rotating against my spinning front wheel.
Since a motor car has 4 wheels, why could you not attach generators to each wheel, which would continuously recharge the battery.
Once the car has started, it will be powered by the rotating wheels.
I'm no scientist, just a thought, tell me where I am going wrong.
I forgot to mention, there would be a series of batteries, not just one 12 volt battery.

Answer
That's how car batteries work now. But they don't have enough energy to move an entire car.

They could salvage some of the kinetic energy to prolong its charge but it is nowhere near enough to keep the battery completely charged. It would defy the first law of thermodynamics, you can't get something for nothing

It's like the battery is providing some energy. The generators are siphoning some of that and putting it back. The only way to put put back all of the original energy would be to take ALL of the kinetic energy from the car. But then it wouldn't move.

Generators don't provide energy from nowhere. You may not notice but the generators make the car decelerate once the engine stops pushing it. It's this resistance that is converted directly into electricity. Since you barely notice it slowing the car, it's easy to tell there's not much energy there so it's not enough to totally recharge the car.

I had the same problem with my BMW Z3, turned out it was the electric seats draining the battery (switch stuck). Whilst searching for a solution I heard of trunk lights that don't go out-fans that don't go off etc on many BMW models. Have a look around your car and see if anything is out of the ordinary. It is not the battery it will be something in the car that is not operating properly-if you can't find it yourself get it down to a dealer/garage.

Hope this helps!

starting electric RC racing car?

Patrick N

I am looking into an RC racing car(1/10th scale) and I have a budget of $400. I have decent experience having other RC cars and such, and my neighbor with a track has told me I drive his cars very well. I am looking for a buggie, truggie, or truck. it doesn't matter if it is brush or brushless, I prefer brushless, and I need a good battery and a good charger. NO LiPo. Please help me out as I am new to these cars.

Answer
i would strongly recommend Traxxas. they have the best cars, trucks, buggies. i have several of their products and have never had a problem with them. i would recommend their VXL Brushless series. they cost around $250-300 depending on where you buy from. a good 6-cell pack will cost you somewhere around $50-60, and Traxxas has a charger for $50. if you want something cheaper the Traxxas Slash is a really fun truck and costs about $200 and is upgradeable to brushless.

if you dont know where to buy from here are some sites:

Flybo Electric Car under 10K!

marcy_mik

Does anyone have one of these cars? I want to know what you think of them. They have 2 seaters & 4 Seaters very cute. I found them on an Organic website for $8500. today.
http://www.NHallnatural.com

Answer
The Flybo is being imported as a NEV (neighborhood electric vehicle) sometimes called LEV (low speed electric vehicle). This means it has federally regulated top speed of 25 MPH in most states and 35 MPH in some. They can be driven on streets with a 10 MPH difference in the speed limit i.e. 35 MPH speed limit for the 25 MPH version.

The Flybo can not go on the freeway because it goes to slow and doesn't have the crash protection required. It will work fine for dropping the kid (only 2 seats) off at school, running to the store for groceries or a surface street commute to work. Or if your daughter has her license she can commute to school and you wont have to worry about her getting into vehicular trouble.

I konw someone who has an NEV. He uses it every day to commute 6 miles to work and back. For the one part of his trek that requires higher speed he just simply uses the surface street that runs parallel to the highway. It takes him an extra 5 minutes to get to work (but who's in a hurry anyway) and he has not put 1 gram of pollution into the atmosphere which is his goal. And even better it cost him less than 15 cents a day in "fuel" aka electricity.

For more information on NEV check out Miles Automotive, ZENN and GEM Car web sites.

If you could would you Build an electric car?

Ryan

If you could build an electric car would you choose to or stay with oil? As oil prices are now I believe that everyone should want an electric car.
I saw a thing on the News a few weeks ago and a kid in Michigan built an electric car on a minimum wage job. He spent 6,000$ converting the car to electric but it would be well worth it in the end. Instead of paying upward from 40-60 dollars a full tank of gas a week he paid only 15-20 dollars a month. Now if you spend 40$ as a base every week on gas for a month that's 160$.

On a website I found how to convert a car to Electric from between 5,000$ and 10,000$. This would be an investment to me.

I figure we need to switch to electric as it's a renewable energy source. What do you think?

Answer
She it I do is wrong about batteries on several points.

About charging the battery wearing it out, and needing to replace it, he's talking about lead acid batteries. They're awful batteries, but they're good at one thing -- starting engines -- so they took over the world! Correct batteries for electric cars were developed by none other than Thomas Edison -- his NiFe "Edison Cells" last many decades, we have some at railway museums that still work fine. A cousin to the NiFe is the NiMH used in some hybrids.

Best recharge time 6 hours? Come on, it was 90 minutes on the EV1, and I can charge my camera batteries in 15 minutes http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GF2L7E/ref=wolfharper-20

The battery won't "just go dead". The battery meter will tell you exactly what you got, so you'll know. And unlike a gas car, when an electric gets into trouble it can still limp for miles. Last I looked there are power plugs everywhere. Pull up at a restaurant, ask the manager if you can plug in, enjoy a meal, good2go. Try that in a gas car.

Why would someone cause so much trouble over this little thing?

Jake (AKA

I have an electric scooter, and I let my friend ride it. He took his little cousin for a ride on it, and in their journey, they rode through an alley behind where my Mom works. Well, a person was backing up, and they had to stop because he was passing by. Well, this person started to freak out, and started screaming at a nearby person, asking if they saw that. Well, this person said they did, and they said "that's Boo's son on his DANG scooter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (people call Mom Boo.) Well, they started freaking out, and they called Mom to the lobby and started screaming at her to control me (even though it wasn't me). It was all Mom could do to keep them from calling the police! (They love to call the police. Once they even tried to call them because Mom drove the Blazer to work and I took it home like she asked.) They said that he was flying through the alley, and someone could've been killed! Well, Mom made me get the car and chase him down to confiscate the scooter, and she was mad. She started freaking out and yelling at my friend. Well, I know my scooter, and I know that alley. That scooter barely goes 15 mph on flat ground with one person. That alley is very rough, and there were two people on it. It was probably going no more than 10 mph and I doubt that it was even going that fast, as much as my friend cares about his cousin. I talked to him, and he said he wasn't going that fast. Also, the worst thing that could happen even if he was going that fast is a dent in the car and some minor scratches unless some freak thing happened. Everyone is still mad, and my and my friend are mad too- he's mad because everyone is overreacting and yelling at him, and I'm mad because they called my scooter "dang." Why is everyone making such a problem out of this simple event? The way I see it is that it's the car driver's fault since she should've been watching where she was going when backing out from a parking spot. I wonder if it was a car going through, would they call the cops? I don't see the problem. I already asked this in another section yesterday, but only got one answer so far.
Mom is equally as upset as the rest of them.
Andrew- Same friend, different scooter.
1. My scooter is street legal.
2. It's *my* Blazer, thank you.
3. I have a license.
And also, if a car is backing into traffic, the traffic has right of way. Anything else?

Answer
Because they did wrong and know it.
Because they could have seriously hurt or killed a couple of kids - and know it.
Because they can blame the kids - and know it.

What do I need to ride a moped in Arizona?

Roxas806

I am 15 years old and about 2 months (licence and permit still out of reach), I am looking for a simple alternative from walking and standard bikes in order to commute to friends' houses.

Do I still need a special license, a permit or just a normal license in order to operate a moped even if it is not on roads and highways, only within neighborhoods?

Also would I need to register anything? About how much money would I need to spend on additional fees?

Finally, Is a moped even what I am looking for? Is there something easier and cheaper that can accomplish the same tasks, just goes about 20-25 mph and is not like those electric things that only last 10 minutes on charge.

Answer
A driver's license at a minimum.
I suggest a bicycle.

No, I'm NOT kidding, bicycles go where others can't.
I rode one 20 miles to work when I was 18, before I earned enough for a car.
Average speed:13.33mph.

The Electric Car , a dream?

James Wrig

Many of the dealerships are sold out of the leaf, what can we do to get these cars built faster? could building Electric cars in Britain save it from bankruptcy? and get British people working more instaed of letting immigrants take most of the production work??

Answer
Electric cars are a dream and a vision of the future without polluting vehicles that rely on foreign oil for their power. They are a dream of quiet, clean and affordable transportation. They are the dream that will allow us to electrify roadways and manage traffic flow for many more vehicles than we can have on our present roadways.1

Nissan, the owners of the Leaf, are making the dream a reality by building factories in the US (Smyrna in Tennessee) and the UK (Sunderland) that are expected to open in 2012. These factories along with the plant at Oppama in Japan will increase production to meet the existing and future demand.2

The amount of production work being taken by "immigrants" is perhaps another issue best taken up elsewhere. If we go back far enough most of us came from somewhere else.

I am thinking about buying an electric car.?

Charlotte

What is a safe, affordable electric car?

Answer
Due to the fact electric cars are very NEW to the market, insufficient data is available on which electric cars have the fewest major breakdowns and are thus the safest to drive. The electric cars available on the market today include:

Chevrolet Volt
Nissan Leaf
Geely C30 Drive E

A lot more electric cars are due to hit the stores in 2012 including ones by major manufacturers such as Toyota, Honda, Ford, Hyundai & BYD. So if you want to wait one more year, you will have a much larger selection but as of now, the above 3 pure electric vehicles are available for sale.

Should I let my 11 year old son get an air soft gun?

EPendrak

He's 11 years old and he wants an electric air soft rifle. He would give me the money, then I'd purchase it for him.

Answer
Well there are a lot of things to consider. I've been playing airsoft for over 3 years now. Is he doing it for can shooting, or for airsoft skirmishes with his friends? Airsoft is one of the safest games out there. Out of all the skirmishes I've been in the worst injury I've seen was a small scrape when my friend was shot with a airsoft sniper rifle and it skimmed across his hand. The one main thing you need for safety is SAFETY GLASSES. Don't be freaked out when you hear about kids being shot by police or have had police draw guns on them when holding a airsoft gun and having it be confused with a real gun. All of those stories are because the kids were being stupid such as pointing it at cars when they paint over the orange tip of the gun and freaking out motorists. If you are worried about that Wal-Mart and Dicks Sporting Goods carry clear plastic airsoft guns. Quality costs money. Most cheapo airsoft eletric guns don't last very long. If airsoft is brand new to him and he just plans on can shooting get him a spring pistol, a good airsoft eletric gun is a Crosman pulse R72. http://www.crosman.com/airsoft/premium/SAPR72 it can come clear or black and is pretty decent. Im pretty serious with airsoft so i own tactical equipment and full metal airsoft guns, but a Crosman Pulse R72 is a good starter. My friend started airsoft at 11 and hes loved it.
