I need some help with these electric vehicles. Please read? Ok, so I am a thirteen year old environmentalist and i have my goal set in life. To create a vehicle for everyone that runs on electricity. I love electric cars and i have drove one before. There quiet and slick. I have plans for one already and I am an eighth grader whiz. I am very interested in this field but i need some information. I would like to start actually building a car either in the summer, or a year or two from now. But before i get into that i am going to ask about school. School: should i take Earth Science or Biology? What subject would prepare me better for all of this. i am in algebra one and take geometry next year i have wood chop next marking period and we build an air car (tiny compressed air though) Should i go to a new jersey vocational school in the future? what should i Base my classes and electives around? any good colleges after high school (thinking ahead) I also would like some incite on your experiences with electric cars, any thing is good. The actual cars now. first, am i to young to start this journey? is this a good thing to do and am i going to enjoy it? now about this car again... material: titanium body and plastic roof titanium is stronger than steal but lighter than aluminum plastic roof will be explained faster (is titanium too expensive? an alternatives?) Speed: 40mph (just for now but eventually i would progress) windows :Plexiglas (light and durable, super strong kind) range: 20-30miles (more is great but its a start) mirrors, windshield wipers, up and down windows, fits at least two people, doors, small front that doesn't extend out like i.c.e. cars, just simple for now but it will progress as i get older and more intelligent. and we need a radio parts being used: building a motor and system is a lot of work, time, and money. So i figured that i could buy a commercial one. wheels, not too heavy but not too ugly solar cells on top of the car that feed electricity to the batteries, evergreen batteries? any idea what is readily available and cheap? budget? what should my budget be? motor and axel? and ideas? this needs a lot more work as you can see, but i am determined to create a street legal electric car. I was looking around for solar ev's and came across this one. should i buy this kit and transform it into what i could see? this comes with most of what i need. http://www.sunnev.com/ please share your incite, i do have a few more plans for this car, but they are very complex. email me if you would like to talk or shed some light on the situation. WOULD THIS WORK? would my idea work or would it way the car down too much adn make it slow and heavy? the car creates its own energy like the Chevy volt but does not give off pollution. Using the Faraday effect, i would turn the axle into a generator. The axel would be magnetic or made with magnets and a large spoil of wire would be placed around it. as you drive and the axle spins that spins the magnets, this could potentially charge the batteries. ^^^^^would this work? too heavy? to small? not enough energy? Thank you for your time and thanks for reading this! i am serious and any good programs or books to use? and any educational things that i can use.
Help me do a Prius Plug-In conversion? - PHEV conversion? Here's my bright :idea: for stretching out the Prius gas mileage to 75 to 100 mpg without spending $8k to $24K for an aftermarket kit or job is to: 1) buy a replacement Prius NiMH battery pack from Ebay where they have them for $800 to $1100. Install it in parallel with the stock battery. Be careful and wear gloves as I've heard the car battery has nominal 220 VDC. (view [url=http://hybridinterfaces.ca/stockNIMH.html]inside the battery case and location[/url]) 2) Install the EV-only switch to the switch blank on the left side of the dash described and [url=http://www.calcars.org/prius-evbutton-install.pdf]pictured here in a PDF[/url]. Here's the full suggestion/question. Contact me if you know how to help in Calif.
