What about capacitors with batteries? Read something recently about manufactures using capacitors with batteries that provide the electricity you need as you push the pedal down without causing serious drainage problems with the batteries, thereby reducing the replacement battery issue.
How feasible is it to use photovoltaic "charging stations" at work in the parking lot. How expensive are they and can they give you a charge you need during business hours? Seems to me that if you can get the charge for free and get about 40mpc (miles per charge) then hooking up some sort of rear wheel drive electric system to a diesel vw bug would really kick some serious ass in opec! O.k. Tell me why I am a dreamer? |

QUOTE(buck toenges @ Mar 11 2008, 07:19 AM)  What about capacitors with batteries? Read something recently about manufactures using capacitors with batteries that provide the electricity you need as you push the pedal down without causing serious drainage problems with the batteries, thereby reducing the replacement battery issue. A capacitor is just a way of leveling the demand curve. When the demand is low it charges up from the batteries. When demand is high it releases that energy instead of the batteries having to do all the work. It doesn't create energy of course - just a storage technique. I could understand a theory that says avoiding demand spikes is good for the battery. Where I'm a little skeptical is in a capacitor that was big enough to make a difference for any more than a fraction of a second. |
