How should married couples operate at home with finances and kids?

Alisia

My husband pays the mortage and Direct TV bill. Im responsible for electric, water, food and the internet not to mention we have 3 boys so food is costly. I make less than him and at times im behind with disconnection notices. We never discuss bills (well we use to, but it turned into a daily conversation and nothing else) and get paid bi-weekly on the same dates. We both have have car notes/ insurance to deal with outside of household bills and we handle those separately as well. What drives me crazy is that he has a butt load of credit cards and brings home things that are not needed at the time when Im behind on my part. If he handles my part is like a big deal. We dont have a joint account, mainly because I owe student loans and he's almost top shape with credit. He also locks his credit cards and checks in a safety box ( advise from his mother since my credit sucks) I end up getting into anyways with scissors. Sad, but true! Anyways being married two years, but together a total of 8yrs, this sucks and I almost want out, What the heck is the method of marraige here?!!! Another thing is with the boys, he will cook and make sure they have showers and etc, but when they fight or need him for anything he tunes them out for espn on the daily. He lives on our couch basically and crawls into bed when he's ready. I need help I dont know if Im being stupid or If I need to chill and ride the wave. We are both 28 and Im almost at the point I have one life to live and this is not it :/ more to this, but Im not trying to write a book.

Answer
I think whatever method you chose, is up to the two of you and should be fair. If you are going to keep separate accounts and designate bills, perhaps it should be apportioned to income and reviewed periodically just to be sure that it's "fair".

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

Yvonne Ces

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!

Do drivers of hybrid cars in the UK pay any tax on their fuel? and if so how much?

dave

Answer
All hybrid cars on the market right now are petrol/electric. However, no hybrid car on the market right now are plug-in capable to the mains, so the only fuel source is the usual petrol/gasoline that every other car uses. So, hybrid drivers pay the same petrol tax that every other petrol car driver pays, built into the price of petrol at the pump. Some calculators:
http://www.abd.org.uk/fuel_tax_calculator.htm
http://www.petrolprices.com/fuel-tax.html

Otherwise, they still have to pay the usual VED (excise duty), based on their CO2 emissions. You can look up that info here: http://www.vcacarfueldata.org.uk/index.asp

If gas is so expensive why don't the government encourage uses of electric or hybrid cars?

Joey

Answer
Is gas expensive in the US? Our national average price is now just under $4.00 per gallon. In the UK the same fuel would cost you over $8.00. But what is the real price of gasoline and what is the Government's role in the cost of energy?

Government has a very close role with corporations. That was once a definition of "fascism" but like a lack of privacy what was unacceptable yesterday is often not even discussed today. In a perversion of the term, in a modern "Democracy" part of the art of politics is in manipulating the population. It is sometimes hard to discern a governmental position as often politicians seem to be saying one thing and civil servants doing another and lobbyists advocating yet another.

Actions may speak louder than words. A recent study has shown that world wide governments are subsidizing fossil fuels (those things that have been around for 150 to 300 years) 12 times more than renewable energy.1 It is hard to find alternative answers when you are not looking. National funding for new research is being dictated by Petrochemical companies.2 In this way Vision is competing with established Power gained though Wealth. Wealth often gives political power but not necessarily Vision.

But "the government" is not one solid mass. It is composed of individuals. Sometimes this is to the consternation of Fossil fuel companies who feel that the a government that has been bought and paid for is going against their wishes. Sometimes it may be simply another limited bargain for other perks. Many places do have tax credits for economical vehicles. These tax credits are coming at a time when most people are not thinking of buying electric cars and supplies of such vehicles are very limited. The government is funding building of some renewable energy associated factories but mostly for those with political connections. The government is also moving many of its military operations to use more renewable energy. But this may be more a move designed at self preservation than largess.

What could government be doing? An advertising campaign could clearly spell out the advantages and disadvantages of electric vehicles. Electric motors are quiet, vibration free, have few moving parts, are maintenance light, highly efficient, high torque from 0 RPM, lighter, lower the center of gravity in a vehicle and are in many ways a better drive-train than any other available choice. The problem is getting electricity to the motor. Trolleys solved the problem 100 years ago with over head transmission. They were so successful that it took a conspiracy to destroy them.3 Today's technology is electrified roadways and wireless energy transfer.4 This will be far cheaper than installing public charging stations.5 But it would require government support and possibly funding. It would provide another way to collect highway taxes, would lower the cost of each vehicle (by eliminating most batteries) eliminate the need for charging stations, eliminate any issue of charging availability and charging times.

Smart cars: Are they worth it?

Puttycat

Sure it saves gas, but I don't think they're worth it for the following reasons...

1. The car looks embarrassing

"Yeah man, I can pick up a lot of hot chicks riding this babe! Hope they won't confuse it for a clown car though..."

2. You can't load a lot of equipment

"Well, I guess I'll have to tie these extra grocery bags on the side of the vehicle..."

3. They're unsafe

"Don't worry man...If I ever get into a wreck my airbags will protect me..." *gets hit by a deer and dies*

4. They are too small

Kid: "Mommy, I wanna play with the go go power wheel toy"
Mom: "No honey, that's my car..."

5. Not a good car to evade cops in a police chase

*cop rams smart car and kills driver*


I know I'm exaggerating (and failing at being funny), but I just wanted to get your thoughts....
@ Bluto: LOL well, I knew some trailer park, cheap, low class smuck would get offended (I think you fail about being clever with your sarcasm BTW). Yes nimrod, I know there good for parking, but does parking make this car a must have despite it's shortage of passenger seats, a lack of items to load, or immediate death?

Answer
What will a "Smart Car" be in the near future????

It will almost certainly be a Hybrid or Full electric
some have suggested cargo space will be lost to save weight, I don't think so
There are synthetic plastics in development that based on spider silk, could be ten times or more stronger than steel.


some current Smart cars have plastic skins and short life Electric power cell
Against a old metal body petrolcar, a plastic car has little chance in a pissing contest if you intend to play chicken.

What is a good attention getter for electric cars topic (speech)?

Timmy

I'm saying they're not economical

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.

What remarkable events occurred on the leap years days of history?

Simon

Answer
These all happened on Feb. 29

1288 - Scotland established this day as one when a woman could
propose marriage to a man! If he refused, he was required to pay a fine.

1704 - The town of Deerfield, MA was raided on this date by French
Canadians and Indians who were trying to retrieve their church bell that
had been shipped from France. The bell was to hang in the Canadian
Indian's village church. Neither the raiders nor the residents of Deerfield
were aware that the bell had been stolen from the ship. The Deerfield
folks had purchased the bell from a privateer, unaware that it belonged to
the Indian congregation. Although 47 people were killed in the incident,
we could say that the 120 captured were saved by the bell.

1860 - The first electric tabulating machine -- the forerunner of the
calculator -- was invented by Herman Hollerith. We think it was
unfortunate that Mr. Hollerith chose to make his invention on Leap Day,
causing the machine to only calculate numbers divisible by four.

1904 - On this day in Washington, DC, a seven-man commission was
created to hasten the construction of the Panama Canal. Work began
May 4th. It's always hard to get something going by committee; so we
guess that's why it took seven men two months to get the work going.

1920 - Dateline -- Budapest, Hungary: Miklos Horthy de Nagybanya
became the Regent of Hungary just six months after leading a
counterrevolution. He probably gained control because everyone else
was distracted while trying to pronounce his name.

1932 - Bing Crosby and the Mills Brothers teamed up to record "Shine"
for Brunswick Records.

1936 - Fanny Brice brought her little girl character "Baby Snooks" to
radio on "The Ziegfeld Follies of the Air" on CBS Radio. Miss Brice
presented the character and later sang "My Man" on the program. She
was 44 at the time, and was known as America's "Funny Girl" long
before Barbra Streisand brought her even greater fame and notoriety
nearly 30 years later.

1940 - Hattie McDaniel was the first black person to win an Oscar. She
won the Best Supporting Actress award for her role as Mammy in "Gone
with the Wind". GWTW also won Best Picture, Best Actress for Vivien
Leigh's performance and Best Director for Victor Fleming, Best
Screenplay for Sidney Howard's writing plus awards for Color
Cinematography, Interior Decoration and Film Editing. Other Oscar
winners on this night were Best Actor, Robert Dunat in "Goodbye, Mr.
Chips", and Best Supporting Actor, Thomas Mitchell in "Stagecoach".

1944 - The invasion of the Admiralty Islands began on this date as U.S.
General Douglas MacArthur led his forces in "Operation Brewer".
Troops surged onto Los Negros, following a month of Allied advances in
the Pacific.

1944 - The first woman appointed secretary of a national political party
was named to the Democratic National Committee. Dorothy McElroy
Vredenburgh of Alabama began her new appointment this day. 1944 -
The Office of Defense Transportation, for the second year, restricted
attendance at the Kentucky Derby to residents of the Louisville area to
prevent a railroad traffic burden during wartime. We imagine that horses
were allowed in from elsewhere, though...

1952 - New York City pedestrians were told when to walk and when
not to as four signs were installed at 44th Street and Broadway in Times
Square. Each sign flashed "Walk" for 22 seconds, then "Don't Walk" for
ten seconds before the "Don't Walk" turned red for 58 seconds more.
We're told that eight out of ten people obeyed the signs ... not bad for
New Yorkers who will walk right through one door of a car and out the
other to get across the street quickly.

1960 - A report from the White House stated that America's kids were
getting too fat! I'll have a cheeseburger, fries and a shake.

1964 - Dawn Fraser got her 36th world record this day. The Australian
swimmer was timed at 58.9 seconds in the 100-meter freestyle in
Sydney, Australia.

1964 - The United States was in the grip of Beatlemania! "I Want to
Hold Your Hand", by the lads from Liverpool, was in its 5th week at #1
on the pop charts. It stayed there until March 21, when it was replaced
by "She Loves You", which was replaced by "Can't Buy Me Love",
which was finally replaced by "Hello Dolly", by Louis Armstrong, on May
9, 1964. 14 straight weeks of #1 stuff by the Beatles! Yeah, yeah, yeah...

1964 - Hang on to your racquets on this one, sports fans: A shuttlecock
drive record was set by Frank Rugani this day. Mr. Rugani slammed the
birdie 79-feet, 8-1/2 inches in a test at San Jose, CA. A giant leap for
badminton. A little leap for all mankind.

1972 - The U.S. Justice Department had recently settled an antitrust
lawsuit in favor of International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation.
On this date, newspaper columnist, Jack Anderson revealed a memo
written by ITT's Washington lobbyist, Dita Beard, that connected ITT's
funding of part of the Republican National Convention with the resulting
lawsuit settlement.

1972 - Swimmer Mark Spitz was named the 1971 James E. Sullivan
Memorial Trophy winner as the top amateur athlete in America.

1972 - Karen and Richard Carpenter of Downey, CA, received a gold
record for the hit single "Hurting Each Other". When they tore the golden
platter from its protective frame and plunked it on the player, they heard,
"Hurt So Bad", by Little Anthony and the Imperials. They were so upset
by this that they ran out to the back yard and used the record as a
Frisbee for the rest of the day. (Some of the preceding is based upon
actual fact.)

1988 - "Day by Day", a situation comedy, premiered on this date on
NBC-TV. It was one of the "yuppie sitcoms" that were all over the TV
dial in the late '80s. This particular one was about a suburban
overachieving couple who dropped out and opened up a day-care center
in their home to spend more quality time with their children. The quality
time lasted just under five months.

1992 - Mr. Big hit it big this day, moving to #1 with, "To Be with You".
It would be the biggest hit in the U.S. for three big weeks.

Famous birthdays:
1736 - Ann Lee (Ann the Word or Mother Ann) (religious zealot:
founder of Shakerism in U.S.)

1792 - Gioacchino Rossini (operatic composer: The Barber of Seville)

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

On the Jewish Shabbos can a person be in an electric wheelchair or a regular one?

Nikki

Is operating machinery or anything like that against the law?
So breach you are saying they canNOT because that is being merciful?
Does pushing a wheelchair count as work?

Answer
Life takes priority over all other Commandments except two. No matter what, you may not bow down or worship other gods and you may not commit adultery.

If you can use a non-electric chair then that is preferred. In that case, you could use your non-electric chair on Shabbot without breaking any commandments.

If on the other hand you can not operate a non-electric chair, then you may use the electric wheelchair as necessary for health reasons. However this does not mean you should be using the electric chair to take the kids for a walk or for other non-survival needs.

On this particular subject, the three Denominations of the Jewish faith have strongly different views.

The Reform would not even think about the issue. Do what you want.

The Conservative would go with was said above plus you could use the electric chair to come to services. They have the same attitude about cars in the USA, you can use them to come to services. (In Israel you must walk.)

The Orthodox would go with the above and since going to services is not a life-or-death matter, you should not use the electric wheelchair to come to services. However, if you did, they would not throw you out.

I don't have garage sales unless I have a ton of stuff to put out. I'm a huge garage saler but don't even bother stopiing if there isn't much out there. Most of m items I kept under $2 unles it was still new in box or something...I'd sa 1/2 of what the retail value was. I also did boxes where everything in one was $1 or another was all .50. All hanging clothes one set price. Makes it easier on you and the customers and give a good deal when the buy multiple items but don't get ripped off by cheap skates.

What are some advantages of getting a Hybrid car?

Q. ..and which one is better? Is there any difference in hydrid cars? I'm thinking about the Toyota hybrid...

Answer
Snob appeal. Just kidding. My sister has owned a Prius for the last 2 years. She bought it "new" and I've heard not one complaint. Go with Toyota because they are one of the first to have perfected a Hybrid priced for the masses (more or less..I'll have to buy 2nd hand) This old world is suffering from pollution, so any little thing can be a positive. I've seen some really innovative electric cars on-line, but have never seen any for sale and one the road. Then electricity rates will climb! Mark my words.

Q. hey me agian I have one more question for the world I'm looking at geting a new rc car but I'm trouble on what I should get a nitro or a electric I have a electric and iv driven a nitro but I what reall what is a car thats fast offroad but not just for going straight I need speed for dirt I love tuning cars like a dirt bike I love climbing hills (fastly) and I love jumping anything I see and I mean anything pile of rocks, mounds of dirt, burms, and dirt hills so I know I need 4wd but should I get electric or nitro electric kind suck cuz you need to charge batteries constantly and they don't quite have the roar a nitro does but their easy to maintain and fix but a nitro has great horse power and really goes offroad and climbs every thing and really has that roar but I thera alot of mantanice to be done plus you have to buy gas alot and I don't have a job to constantly get gas but I'm sure my parents would get some if I bug them enough so if any one whants to help me what do you think I should get and I relize a brushless motor will make electrics fast I'm not stupid I have a brushless motor and I don't need names of cars I should get I have no controll on what I get because I'm guessing my parents will be geting me one for the holidays and no I'm not some little kid I'm 16
and I'm not looking for racing fast or showing off fast I'm looking for what hill or bump in the ground can I turn into jump and see how high I can get fast and I'm looking for durability

Answer
Go with the electric - The up front cost might be higher but as long as you can charge your batteries you can run your car. If you run out of fuel you are dead until you get more. At $16.00 per gallon it is very spendy. LiPo batteries have the highest energy density but require special care in charging and discharging. A good ESC is a must - properly sized for the expected current draw. Don't skimp on the charger unit either.

Fastest electric car in the world?

Buddha

I have a bet with my friend that electric cars can accelerate faster than gas cars. So far he's pointed out that the Bugatti Veyron can go 0-60 in 2.4 seconds, and the fastest electric car I've found is the Shelby SuperCars Aero EV, which can go 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. I'm sure there has to be a faster elctric car I can't find, because their torque is much higher and instantaneous compared to gas cars.

Can my daughter ride a scooter ?

Pizza

My daughter is 11 years old and rides an electric scooter.Her mom thinks its the most dangerous thing in the world.I would like to get other peoples opinions and answers to see if see can ride it.She is tall enough and is perfect weight.She also always wears a helmet.

Answer
In my neighborhood, all my kids ride an old Honda Sprint. I only allow it because the traffic is fairly minimal. I trust them to look both ways at stop signs, be careful of cars backing out of driveways, watch for other kids playing ball, etc. At 4:30 they park it until 6:30 to avoid people returning from work. They can ride after dinner until dark.

Why is your wife so concerned? Is it traffic? Bad neighbors drag racing? Is your daughter not responsible?

Personally, I don't see much of a difference between riding a scooter and a pedal bike.

I am Going green. What Car is right for me?

:)

I want to get a car that will not use up much gas, but I don't want a hybrid. Its too expensive. I am still young and its gonna be my first car. Any ideas? Thank you.

Answer
convert a gasoline car into a fully electric car for only eight thousand dollars. you can get a company to do it for you, but it would cost more.


or just ride a bike...zero emmissions, fun, and you get exercise!!!



and to the guy who said small cars are death traps, think again...
look at this list, most unsafe vehicles of 2009...most of them are pick ups and suv's...

http://ca.autos.yahoo.com/p/1146/most-dangerous-cars-of-2009


edit: lmao, a hummer h1 is the greenest vehicle you can think of and electrics are more enviornmentally damaging? hahaha wow, you have to be kidding me...could you atleast say a honda fit, or something?

first of all, electric cars and hybrids batteries and electricity isn't as dirty as you think. first of all, the motors in these vehicles use much less electricity than your clothes drier. second of all, even if you did get electricity from coal, you would still be cutting your carbon footprint because electric motors are much more efficient than gasoline engines. but i hate it when people use the coal power plant excuse, we can't live forever with coal electricity. switching to electric cars isn't enough, we also have to switch to wind power, and solar power. infact, you can run your entire house off the grid with solar panels, while charging your electric vehicles. so you would basically be getting free electricity without making any polution.

and btw, when you RECYCLE batteries, you don't send them to a landfill...you send them to a recycling facility where the materials are reused for other batteries or other products.


hahaha btw, the you said a hybrid's batteries only last 100 000 miles...but then the battery's warranty is 150 000 miles on the toyota prius...so, i have no clue where you get your facts.

also, there are fully electric toyota rav4's with over 250 000 miles with their original battery pack. huh, 100 000 mile life? says who? and that's only with nickel batteries. lithium ion batteries last even longer.



hahaha wow, and you said electric car's are more expensive to operate?!?!?! get your facts straight!!! electric cars are ONE PENNY PER MILE to run!!! no idea where you got your $3.00 figure, do some research chevelle

electric car?

sinisterho

They built it in 1888. In 1896 the Woods Motor Vehicle Company became the first American manufacturer of the electric car. It was a good product; by 1904 one third of all the cars in Chicago, New York City and Boston were electric powered. And then by 1912 there were 20,000 electric cars and 10,000 electric trucks and buses in the United States. What happened here? Where did they go? And why am i paying 3.45 a gallon for a gas powered vehicle?

Answer
The people who had leased the ones from Ford loved them. They fought to buy them after their leases were up, but were not allowed. Big Oil wanted those cars out of here so they could inundate us with huge SUV's and get everyone hooked on massive gas consumption. They went out of the US.

Too bad.

Things to look for in a electric car?

Jazz

I want to get a electric/hybrid car for obvious reasons :P
I was just wondering what to look for and any cars recommended at a reasonable price.
Thanks! ^-^
Ie; don't have to pay for gas and environmentally safe

Answer
People tend to purchase/lease electric cars for several different reasons. Although electricity is slightly more expensive than gasoline the EV is far more efficient than a petrol vehicle. So the fuel is cheaper than gasoline, but some are interested in the strategic benefits of not having to use gasoline, or the environmental considerations.

You mentioned not having to buy gasoline. This could be an advantage because of the low operating cost or because you are concerned that at some point it may be difficult or hard to find gasoline. You may be concerned from a larger social perspective that our balance or payments are strained because we must buy foreign oil or we must have a larger military to protect foreign oil supplies. Both of these put a strain on our National Debt.

But even if we could find cheap domestic oil should we even be using fossil fuels? Their chemical solution to an energy supply comes with the hidden cost of filling our environment with pollution as we use this energy. That cost is building up ... with interest.

We don't tend to hear people discuss the aerodynamic styling or color of the vehicle as is sometimes mentioned with petrol vehicles. These other considerations are more important to some than driving range, fill up times before or using the infant state of existing infrastructure for recharging the EV (presently around 5000 public recharging stations vs 140,000 gas stations in the US.)

Depending upon your rational you may find different features important.

---Low rolling resistance and aerodynamics will help to support the economics found in the EPA ratings. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/best-worst.shtml You will probably want to pay most attention to the KWH used per 100 miles (translates quickly to kWh/mile.) The price of the vehicle may also be a factor. A smaller lighter vehicle with a smaller, lighter battery will tend to have a lower energy requirement. You may be interested in the cost of installing a charging station in your home or the cost of charging outside your home. Every commercial electric vehicle has a regenerative braking system. Conversions, electric kit cars and some hybrids may not have it.

--Hybrids either parallel like the prius or in series like the Volt will either use or depend upon gasoline for part of their trip and use existing gasoline infrastructure to increased the vehicle's practical range. The trade off is less economy. They are a compromise so you have to be very serious about what you need, what you want and your driving requirements and match these to the right vehicle. The all (battery) electric vehicle will take you furthermost from gasoline infrastructure and some choose to hybridize the family transportation (an all electric vehicle and a petrol vehicle rather than the cars.)

--Environmental considerations may take you beyond the vehicle alone to consider installing a wind generator or photovoltaic panels on your home. You may want to know more about how the vehicle is made and where the factories are located. You may wonder about the life of the battery and plans for its disposal/ recycling. http://www.edmunds.com/fuel-economy/what-happens-to-ev-and-hybrid-batteries.html

Buying an electric car will take you out of the "center of the pack." You may want to limit how far you want to go in that direction. Hybrids will keep you connected with the existing gasoline infrastructure (at a price) additional features and packages may make the driving experience easier in case of emergency or if you require roadside assistance. The Volt has its appeal for this reason while the Leaf has many features only found in more expensive cars. The Mitsubishi i is a solid and very economical car. The Honda Fit ev and Ford Focus ev are both by large manufacturers and electric drive train adaptations of vehicles originally designed as gasoline vehicles. You will have to look twice to see if they are electric.

There are many hybrids now on the roads. Some have real value like the Prius and the Volt. Some are hybrids in name only and the fuel economy shows that the word "hybrid" is only being used to sell the vehicle. Others may want a unique car that stands out. They may be looking for a more extreme vehicle like the Aptera. (get on a waiting list)

Best of luck to you.

Answer
I think the insides of an electric car is much different than that of a normal one. It's not as heavy, not as many mechanics involved. Because of that, they need to disperse the weight differently, and it gets them more room to be creative.

I wouldn't be surprised if... *looks at link* wow... that's bad. I guess they just want to catch peoples' attention, in the worst way possible. Can that thing even drive? If that got hit, the people inside would get MESSED up.

http://techblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2008/07/aptera-to-deliver-first-produc.html

That's actually a decent electric car. The reason they use 3 wheels is to avoid safety and crash testing. Not really the safest thing in the world to drive eh?

Safe but fuel efficient cars?

Q. I have been seeing a lot of prius's and other small hybrid cars completely crushed when involved in accidents. I dont know a lot about cars but i wanted one that was safe but also had low emmisions and was fuel efficient. Not sure if i sound really stupid so please correct me, but what cars are like this? (safe and fuel efficient)

Answer
Well...basically nothing isn't safe. If you drive over 50 no matter what car you drive you won't have much chances of surviving.
There are always studies involved in car safety, and currently only the French manufacturers hold the line on the "safest" cars. And yes they are making efforts on fuel efficiency where if I am not mistaking, the newest Citroen models have cars that consume on average straight road drive at about 4/100 l/km.

But if you want a hybrid...well, you don't have much choices, since this is still a new concept that oil company's don't favor that much. Especially electric cars like Tesla roadster and Rimac Concept One etc.

Anyways, most of my family and friends own french cars, and I myself own one. And just to say, my dad had a crash 4 years ago and he was just fine.

You have a lot of choices here, but it's best for you to go the showroom and just pick a car you fall in love to. When buying a car you think about the beauty of it and the quality of the mechanics and the engine, not how safe it is or how much co2 per grams is releasing. But, stated above, have those things in mind when choosing, it's never too bad to be aware about the environment and the safety.

Why isn't anyone talking about this critical fallout from importing so much stuff from China?

Poyzin

Before everything was made in china, people actually took care of their "stuff", i.e. TVs, electric vacuums, electric shavers, radios, stereos, even computers. They repaired them when they broke, they kept the dust off them, and almost cherished these things.
Now, people throw them away every two or three years and/or have six of them laying around their house.

Just because something is cheaper these days, doesn't mean it uses less natural resources. A 2000 dollar computer made in America has the exact same amount of carbon footprint as a 400 dollar computer made in china, even MORE because it's shipped over here on a freighter, which uses filthy diesel oil.
Why aren't the environmentalists screaming for a stop to imports from china, simply to stop the huge waste?
Americans go through 100 TVs in a lifetime these days, maybe even more. 40 years ago, sure, TVs costed a lot more, but people kept them for 30 years and didn't have one in every single room. People don't need a TV in their refrigerator door or their cars for christ's sake.

Answer
yes your completely right why isn't anyone ,nobody cares because now everyone holidays in China they don't care about there stuff ,they will pretty much sell there children (my mother went to china and a man was running around scream you want here 100 if you want here and the poor thing was crying )all they do want is money because money buys everything but love and family (ill take that back they actully sell there family ) they let china get to the worst of it ,now its just a place of broken buildings and family with either a good home and now family and lots of money OR a family with love and no money ,there just greedy pigs .....

What happened to electric cars like the one a neighbor drove back around 1960?

Sassy Sue

While watching "Who Killed the Electric Car?" I was jolted into remembering that when I was a kid, a neighbor had an electric car! It was small and different looking, but worked great. He was a big guy, but could fit at least 4 kids in w him, and it went as fast as other vehicles, and I know he took us at least 20 miles round-trip, no problem.

Answer
The technology at the time used heavy lead-acid batteries. A tankful of gasoline plus the tank itself, in an intermediate car, weighs perhaps 90 kg (200 pounds), and would fuel the car for perhaps 600 km (350 miles). Lead-acid batteries of the same weight might give a range of 30 km (20 miles). Electric cars extended the range by carrying as much as a tonne of batteries, adding weight also to the car to support the batteries.
You can still buy some electric cars or car kits such as the "Voltswagen". Mines use electric vehicles, some powered by Edison cells (iron-nickel alkaline) which have low energy density but a looong lifetime.

after browsing the net
i am thinking of running my car of a 4 way Hydrogen Generator {whats the best thing to use for the plates plz}

the Hydrogen Generator will pic up static power of the cam belt made from kids dynamos from push bikes hopefully holding 5 gallon of water
{how much hho will this give me},,in theory the faster the belt spins the more the Hydrogen Generate

..hopfeully taking less power out than they produce with some sort of presure cut of switch for safety so i only burn what i produce when running the engine i will have 2 main feeds 1 to the main fuel inlet and the other to the air intake for high revs both with non return valves

anyone got any idears on how to get this project perfect and the presure valve right so it doesent over produce

kind regards

Karl

ps if you have any info that is 100% please forward to me as i am no scientist lol

Answer
First up what is the main reason that you want to convert your car? Is it:
1) To reduce CO2 emissions
2)Save on fuel cost/ better economy or
3)You just want to toy around with your car?

If it is either of the first 2 I strongly, strongly suggest you reconsider this idea. I'm not familiar with the 4 way hydrogen generator system but I assume you are talking about generating your own hydrogen and burning it in a traditional internal combustion engine as a hybrid option along with normal petrol (gasoline), as opposed to fuel cells which are extremely costly.

To convert the water to hyrdogen while driving it is impossible to increase your efficiency if you run off your cam timing belt or any other belt/shaft connected to the engine as the energy required to split the water into Hydrogen and oxygen is greater than the energy obtained from burning it, i.e. you can not take out more than you put in. You could connect a generator to your wheel axle that is only engaged under braking (like current electric hybrid cars) as this energy is usually dissipated in the form of useless heat anyway. However this will be less effective than an electric motor anyway as your essentially adding an additional step with more inefficiencies.

If you mean you will generate your hyrdogen before traveling and store it in a 5 gallon tank then the hydrogen gas must be stored at extremely high pressures if you want enough to get you past the end of your block. Due to the volatility of hyrdogen there is also a high risk of explosion if you are in an accident.

Most of the info on converter packages online are just trying to sell a product and don't have much research backing them up. You probably won't see the return in fuel savings compared to the amount you pay for these packages.

Electric RC cars???????

NoName

how do they make electric rc cars, like im not sure how to say it but like make them go at different speeds (the same rc car)

Answer
My husband used to race electric (battery powered) r/c cars. There are different motors, and gearing that allow you to increase the speed. There is a throttle on the remote control that allows you to change speed while driving. It takes a lot of skill and knowledge to not over gear your motor or you can use up all the battery power before the race is over. Battery capacity and voltage plays a roll in it as well. Many races have limits on the types of batteries, motors, wheels and weight of the vehicles to make it a fair race. There are several magazines and websites dedicated to the hobby/sport.

SHOULD I GET AN ELECTRIC OR GAS RC CAR?

Q. i really want a remote control car but im not too sure what to get. i want one that goes fast, but i dont want a noisy one. are there any fast electric rc cars that are fast and quiet?? and can u get like silencer type thing for a gas rc car so its less noisy?

Answer
Electric. Cheaper, faster, better for the environment, and easier. Get a Traxxas Rustler VXL. I have a Rustler. They go 70 mph!

Motorheads if an electric car could outperform a gas car in every way would you want one?

FOOD FIGHT

If it were faster had better range and could be refueled faster and were cheaper to operate would you still want internal combustion.

Answer
No way. The biggest part of owning a hot rod is the sound of an internal combustion engine. Just hearing a V8 car with loud pipes gets me going.

Listening to a vacuum cleaner run does nothing for me. Sure, it's cleaner running and cheaper to operate than a gas engine, but you asked the MOTORHEADS what we think.

I love to build engines and tune them for power. I like them LOUD! I'm 41 years old, not a kid. I have done this all my life, and I'm not ready to quit yet. This would be like asking a surgeon if he would prefer to have a robot and a computer perform an operation. I doubt it.

Well, that's my 2 cents.

Is Obama crazy or is he BSing the people again with this electric car BS?

Q. Government Motors has come up with yet another boondoggle as big as the Obama stimulus. The Volt is the most ridiculous folly I have ever heard of. How many people in today or tomorrows economy can afford a 45,000$ car with a battery in it that cost 10,000$. It wont be like well my battery is no good got to go to Wal Mart and spend 40.00. They have got to be kidding me probably Bill Gates will have one or Steve Jobs but I dont see any ordinary people with good sense buying this boondoggle. You can buy a lot of gas for the 10000$ cost of a battery. This sounds like another Chevrolet Vega to me.

Answer
The Volt is not an Electric Car. It is a sometimes series hybrid that cannot even charge its batteries with the engine. http://www.insideline.com/chevrolet/volt/2011/no-revolting-the-volt-chevy-battery-does-not-recharge-while-driving.html

It is based on the same technology that GM used in its Electro-motive division from 1930 to 2005 to build diesel/electric locomotive engines.

I'm 14 and want a baby?

linsey

I'm 14 years old and I've always wanted a baby . Ever since I was little I've always loved babies . I know I'm just a baby myself but its driving me crazy . But I'm not even into doing anything sexual , I think sex 'making love' should not occur until after marriage . I've been having 'baby fever' I know I want to go through with high-school and I want to go to beauty school after but I just can't stop thinking about how much I want a baby . I've been having dreams and I've been daydreaming about it for the past month . I used to not want kids because I was scared about how much it would hurt or how big I would get but ever since the dream I had last night I feel like it's all totally worth it . I really want a baby. What do I do to get over this baby fever ? I don't want to have a baby this young it'll ruin my life and my parents trust towards me . I just need to know how to get it off of my mind . Please help me

Answer
My young one I will help you. The best way to get over wanting a baby is to keep thinking about it! Crazy I know, but there is a reason for my madness.
Baby's are not cheap, at all. Once you have a child you will have it for the rest of your life.
Now being 14 years old and the summary of your question shows that you are a very bright person. But I can tell you now that this is a great age to start doing things that will make having a child in the future better.

One. During High School continue to save any allowance or gift money starting now. Make two saving funds, one for your Beauty School, the second for your wedding.

Two. When in High School concentrate on your studies. If you school offers the classes take a Child Development and Cosmetology or a form of it that they might offer.

Three. When your the right age around 16 look for a job. This will bring in income that will help with savings. At this time you can start saving for the baby along with your other two savings.

Now that these three things have been said on to the list.
The list are important item's and other things that you and the future baby will need.
I have a personal list here that I will share with you.

Nice list huh? Mind you this is just my list, to give you an idea, though feel free to look things up.
Now we move on to other things.
Doing research on questions you might have now for babies is best done looking up sites that are for baby development. Things to look up include Hospital's and Insurance.
Also ask yourself questions.
First off what do you think about Marriage? Personally I find no shame at all by saying that I'm not looking for dates I'm looking for the man who will be my husband one day. Best bet wait till you 16 plus before that. Or that you prefer to be courted which mean's you want a relationship that will lead to marriage.
Also ask yourself about other things, such as, where do you want to live in the future, what are my current goals and dreams, how does wanting a baby effect my life now?
And last things that should be done long before one has a child at all.
Being Debt free.
Married, secure jobs.
Safe living place.
Both mine and my future life partners needs, not wants, are met.
Be in good health, mind, body, and spirit.
Be safe not sorry.

Can anybody help me by explaining what is an average living cost in UK - Birmingham ?

aftab.ulha

I'm getting a job of 40 K / Year in UK â Birmingham, I really need to know ground figures of living costs there, I mean what is an average or minimum family house rent, how much does it need to get driving license if u even have previous, what about taxation, food & home expenditures, or any other expenses which are necessary to know. I would be thankful.

Answer
40K what? £ or $?

£40,000 is a comfortable income. For a single person, even a couple but you may find you need to be frugal if you have children and both couples want to run a car and socialise.

Houses
www.rightmove.co.uk
Is the best site it takes properties from almost every UK estate agent.


Shopping for food and other basics
www.asda.com

Roughly. Yearly

House Rent £6000-£12000 depends what you want and where.
Council Tax £1000-£2000
Electric/Gas £2000+
Water/Sewerage £500.
Home insurance £250

You can drive for 1 year on a foreign license but you will then need to take a new test which you should budget up to £1,000 to get lessons take the written and road tests and license.

You can earn £6000 a year tax free after that it is 20% but you will also have to pay for NHI that will put up deductions to about one third of your salary altogether.

If you have kids you could get family tax credits and pay less.
You should be able to claim a family allowance too

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/TaxCreditsandChildBenefit/Childbenefits/index.htm

Claim for everything as soon as you can, if you are entitled you will get paid back to the date of the claim.

Food costs will depend on how many of you there are and what you want to eat.

A small chicken costs from £2.50
Loaf of Bread .70p more or less
Pint of Milk .50p
Bottle of wine from £3.00
half a pound of butter from .85p
5lb potatoes about a £1
Eggs from 10p each
Cooking oil £1.10

Would an electric car motor use ac or dc current?

Disableddi

If electric cars are to be mass produced what type of motor?

Answer
Electric cars can use AC or DC motors... If the motor is a DC motor, then it may run on anything from 96 to 192 volts, if it is an AC motor, then it probably is a three-phase AC motor running at 240 volts AC with a 300 volt battery pack. DC installations tend to be simpler and less expensive.

How are electric car motors cooled? What maintenance is required?

Grendleand

Do electric car motors need fans, radiators, and coolant? How are they cooled? Do they have oil that needs to be changed? How about air conditioning? If there is no radiator or heater core, how can the car be heated? What kind of transmission system do they use? Are they fwd or rear wheel drive? What kind of maintenance is required and how long can an electric motor be expected to last? Are they easy to replace? How do maintenance costs compare to a gasoline engine? Do they require something like a tune up and if so, what would that involve? How difficult are they to work on?

Answer
Q:Do electric car motors need fans, radiators, and coolant? How are they cooled?

A:Electric motors are often air cooled, by a simple electric fan. No coolant is needed for the motor.

Q:Do they have oil that needs to be changed?

A:No.

Q:How about air conditioning?

A: EVs with an air conditioning system are powered electrically in most cases, so there is no belt to replace. Other air conditioning needs is the same.

Q: If there is no radiator or heater core, how can the car be heated?

A:There is no heater core, or radiator as typically used, they are often heated with a simple ceramic heater element, much like a home space heater.

Q: What kind of transmission system do they use?

A: Most conversions use the manual transmission that is on the original vehicle, others (including manufactured EVs) don't use a transmission at all.

Q: Are they fwd or rear wheel drive?

A: Either.

Q: What kind of maintenance is required and how long can an electric motor be expected to last?

A: DC brushed motors need to have the brushes changed every 5 years or so (about as difficult as changing brake pads). Armature bearing may need replacement after much longer. Aside from that an electric motor can last even 100 years in some cases.

Q: Are they easy to replace?

A: Depending on where the motor is, yes. Assuming you have access the motor, they are pretty easy to replace. Disconnect 4 wires, unbolt maybe 6 bolts, pull it out.

Q: How do maintenance costs compare to a gasoline engine?

A: After all is said and done (including batteries) the maintenance cost is about 1/3 that of a traditional gas car, and the technology is getting better and cheaper.

Q: Do they require something like a tune up and if so, what would that involve?

A: Aside from brakes, tires and the other shared components; Motor brushes every 4-5 years (I was quoted $60 to have that done at a local shop). Batteries every 4-6 years for lead acid or every 10+ years for lithium. That's about it.

Q:How difficult are they to work on?

A: Not difficult. They are easier to work on than a gas car (I've done both), but the problem is finding somewhere you can learn the skills.
