The
end of oil is an outstanding idea in the United
States, and Amory Lovins explains it as a common sense fashion. He
spoke of technological innovations and profit-maximizing capitalists that can accidentally save whales. Society can reshape the future by drawing from a backlog of technology and breaking everyday molds. His theme goes back to
ephemerialization as a first response to making cars more efficient on gas, and
very little has changed in the realm since 2005. One possible way to get the public's attention is for someone like ford to remake something like the
69 mustangs out of fiber composite and prove which one outperforms the other, much like the way that a blade for a wind turbine is assembled. Giving
both vehicles the same motors, transmissions, and drive train to show
performance and fuel differences in just the body weight adjustment and run performance test. This fiber-compost Mustang could have the engine well and underneath designed for electricity, battery, and aerodynamics. This would be interesting to test against an electric motor conversion of an original model 69 Mustang like the Zombie 222. The best
innovation of the solar car could come from the fiber composite shell. Make the
composite clear and double-layered on all large surface areas like the roof,
hood, trunk, and doors, and between each double layer, place solar panels
to supply energy to the batteries. When the car comes up to traveling speed, have some regeneration feed form of hydrostatic generator that also feeds the batteries. Another
way to bring electric car innovation and public awareness to products like these is to
develop a division of racing. Through experimentation, maximum performance testing, and part endurance testing, it becomes an approving
ground, creating public awareness and confidence that bring about public demand for
this technology, thus expanding the electric car market. Electric car racing is also suitable for sport. In fact that high Co2 levels have been linked to the rise scenery sensitive people and autism. Electric cars are much quieter than combustion engines and can be made simpler than cars in the sixties. The best data on how long they might last is the electric forklift, whose life cycle has been 30 or 40 years with minimal problems. Electric cars are also being made technology rich enough to be fully autonomous in the next 10 years. Which is great for an aging population. An autonomous car provides the opportunity for freedom and safety for everyone else on the roads. The biggest hick-up in the electric car has been battery range, but like all other things, the more they are worked with, the faster battery technology will develop. For now, the content of an electric car is around 200 miles, which is suitable for city driving. According to AAA studies, most people drive 29.2 miles a day; this would mean people who live in a city and are close to work could charge their car as little as once a week, Which could really cut carbon pollution not just in the exhaust, but in the amount of coal burned to provide the needed energy for the oil refining process. Electric cars may not be the only answer to combating climate change, but they sure will help with the solution to climate change.
