Who Killed the Electric Car?

[martymas]

recently

there was a bike racer who invented a bike run on water pump

i believe it was used in the second world war

but sold the rights to

an american oil company

for so many millions

that was 2 years ago

but i havent heard from it since

i know the guy

he used to experiment with the pump sys

for racing bikes

but it couldnt compete for speed

with petrol driven motors

so he tried to use it for commercial reasons

but the compnys offer was to grat

so in the short answer to your Q

Hi Marty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well there's also this, tho everyone seems to think it's a HOAX...

The problem I see with electric powered cars is that you have to charge them. And unless you own a windmill your going to pay the electric company for the electricity and if they use fossil fuel to generate the electricity the only difference between gas and electric is who you give your money to before they give the same oil company their cut.

And the water car guy said all he uses is water and electricity to make his HHO gas.

can some one explain to me how steam engines worked

those days they were a crude form of power

but now we have solar neuclear atomic

heating

the problem is oil is power

and every body wants a bit of the action

instead of finding an

alternate energy

other wise we will be posting to a thread like this for the next 100 years

when the world war2 was here many countrys found alternate

ways to operate their mobility

so what has changed oil is starting to get scarse

and the country with the mostmobile

army becomes the power

marty, I'm gonna explain how steam engines work...

1. the tender shovels coal or wood ino the firebox which gets real hot.

2. this heats the water in the big boiler til it turns to steam.

3. this steam goes out to the big drive pistons attached to the wheels.

4. jessee james comes along and shoot a hole in the boiler til the water drains out and the train stops.

5. jessee james then robs all the money from the train.

does this explain everything?

have a good day marty.

You can build your own electric car for running about town or short round trips. The charging system doesn't use a lot of electricity so the cost is low. The biggest problem is with steep upgrades. There's a guy near me who built one for going to his job in Syracuse (42 mile round trip). He has figured that it costs him less than a couple bucks a day. He built his EV with used parts for around $3000 (car included).

thanks bear skin

does steam power create inviremental problems,?

in the old days

it was the only way. other than horses

and a pair of jandals

my race walked every where

there wasent any horses until the europeans arrived

i think canoe was the only mode of travel

nz has plenty of waterways

but oil energy is going to be the big Q oil
