Electric Cars as Fast as Ferraris
Ubergrunt writes "A Welsh engineering company has made a motor to be used on electric cars that will make them as fast as a Ferrari. "The motor is revolutionary in that it contains no bulky permanent magnets. Instead it relies on transmitting electric pulses across up to seven rotors, arranged in different phases. These are "fired up" in turn, much like the pistons of an internal combustion engine. There are no gears - the motor provides enough torque at one revolution per minute to put a vehicle into motion - and it spins at up to 2,500rpm.
"Size for size, we can provide 400% more torque than any type of motor currently available," says managing director John Bryant."

<h1>Either your network or ip address has been banned from Slashdot</h1>
<p>...due to script flooding that originated from your network or ip
address -- or this IP might have been used to post comments designed
to break web browser rendering. Or you crawled us with a rude robot,
especially one that doesn't understand RFCs very well.
</p><p>If you feel that this is unwarranted,
feel free to include your IP address
(<b>66.230.180.24</b>) in the subject of an email, and we will examine why
there is a ban. If you fail to include the IP address (again, <em>in
the subject!</em>), then your message will be deleted and ignored. I
mean come on, we're good, we're not psychic.
</p><p>If you think your IP number is different from <b>66.230.180.24</b>,
tell us both.
</p><p>If you are using a browser with some kind of add-on that crawls or
caches pages for you, tell us what it is.
</p><p>Since you can't read the FAQ because you're banned, here's the
<a href="http://slashdot.org/faq/accounts.shtml#ac90
</p><h2>Why is my IP banned?</h2>
<p>· Perhaps you are running some sort of program that loaded thousands of
Slashdot Pages. We have limited resources here and are fairly protective of
them. We need to make sure that everyone shares. If your IP loads thousands
of pages in a day, you will likely be banned. Please note that many proxy
servers load large quantities of pages, but we can usually distinguish
between proxy servers being used by humans, and IPs running software that is
hammering our servers.</p><p>
· Your IP might have been used to perform some sort of denial of service
attack against Slashdot. These range from simple programs that just load a
lot of pages, to programs that attempt to coordinate an avalanche of posts
in the forums (often through misconfigured "Open Relay" proxy servers).</p><p>
· You might be using a proxy server that is also being used by another person
who did something from the above list. You should have your <b>proxy server
administrator</b> <a href="mailto:banned@slashdot.org">contact us</a>.</p><p>
· Your IP might have been used to post comments designed to break
web browser rendering. <br>

</p><h2>How do I get an IP Unbanned?</h2>
<p>Email <a href="mailto:banned@slashdot.org">banned@slashdot
sure to include the IP in question, and any other pertinent information. If
you are connecting through a proxy server, you might need to have your proxy
server's admin contact us instead of you. <br>
