When I was in university we participated in a competition sponsored by Ford called "FutureTruck" (http://www.transportation.anl.gov/competitions/futuretruck.html)
Teams were given a Ford Explorer (truck?) and asked to "improve" it however they saw fit. Most of the teams put in home-made hybrid conversions. some did alt fuels (hydrogen etc). Our team installed a series diesel electric hybrid system using a VW Turbodiesel engine, a tailrotor generator from a 737, a series wound DC motor from a forklift and a big bank of lead-acid batteries.
There are LOTs of sources for EV parts and drivetrain design. The biggest challenge for our team was the controls. Isolating the drivetrain loading from the generator loading proved to be extremely tricky. A couple of students with Masters degrees in control theory were just barely able to make the system stable, much less efficient.
You're in for a fun project, but a lot of work!
So....
The asteroid is moving towards earth at a tremendous rate and the 'tugboat' is moving away - how do we achieve anywhere near enough exposure time during their passing for this 'gentle' gravitational force to do any good?
you've obviously never sent or recieved a meeting notice (calendar item) via outlook (email) - we organize all of our meetings at my workplace in this manner.
A view that i've always held but rarely seen represented -->
genesis of complex organisms by means of evolution from less complex organisms (or even inanimate material) would constitute a very intelligent design indeed....

They have this - it's called "SoundCheck"
To switch on Sound Check on your iPod:
In the main iPod menu, click on Settings - Sound Check - On
If you wish to switch off Sound Check on your iPod, follow these steps:
