500 Miles on a 5-Minute Recharge?
ctroutwi writes "In the wake of rising gasoline costs there have been plenty of alternatives seen on the horizon. Including Hybrids, Biofuels, fuel cells and battery powered all electric cars. CNN has recently posted a story about a company (EEStor) that plans on offering UltraCapacitor storage products. The claim being that you charge the ultracapacitor in 5 minutes, with approximately $9 of electricity and then drive 500 miles."
As long as you get the ultrafluxcapacitor car going at 88 mph, you can go anywhen... ahem anywhere.
Where were you when the voynix came?
How about a system in which cars connect to electric lines along the highways, like they use for electric busses and trollies, and use ultra-capacitors to get from the highway to your home?
Behold the future.
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
I'm thinking of a system more like this...
At what cost per kWh does it require 1.21 gigawatts?
Why is there always such resistance to this?
It's poetry with a beat behind it! And guns! They're like beatniks with automatic weapons.
Many people just don't have the capacity.
