hmm were does the electricity come from? not gasoline? burning coal then? you have to curb americas needless over consumption first. other wise you are wasting your time..i like were your head is at though. we need more people that care.
funny i can buy an older civic or a ford festiva and get 40mpgs and pay like $2000 for a decent one and save all kinds of money on gas and insurance. Newer cars care too much about creature comforts we had the technology 20 yrs ago to get 40 mpgs on a 1.5l engine so wouldn't u think we should be getting like 80mpgs by now on gas?
All the electricity you use to charge that car comes from coal you FAIL. Electricity is not better than gas in any way shape or form, unless you have solar and windmills connected to your house it won't do any good.
Environmentalists and hybrids do not go hand in hand. To be an enviromentalist you have to try and take care of the enviroment, however with a hybrid you pollute the enviroment every 8 years or sooner when you dump all the acid of your batteries into the ground. However my 2001 Jetta TDi gets 46.7 average highway/city driving and has a very low pollution rate. These guys are still running gasoline in these Prius's. People really need to abandon the hype that is hybrid cars.
I've been driving an electric vehicle (Nissan Leaf) for 7 months. I love the Leaf's amazing acceleration, quiet drive, and $0 cost (free electricity from my home solar panel). I now want to convert my Prius to a plug-in hybrid to take advantage of the free electricity. Everyone should get home solar panels! My 6.1 KW AC solar system generates enough electricity for my household use, my Nissan Leaf, and some extra electricity that goes back to the grid. America can be energy independent NOW!

I could care less about gas mileage, I drive a 2007 Mustang GT, with no catalytic converters, and a race tune and cold air intake to give even more power and use more fuel. Nothing is like an american V8.
Your statement is not true when you say 1000 MPG. When your are not using gasoline you are using electricity. So, if you seperate the "electricity usage" from the "gas usage" that will give you the actual MPG.
So, stop saying that you are getting 1000 MPG (Miles Per Gallon) you are not. Take the electricity out of the equasion and you will see what I am talking about.
I don't think I could handle driving around in a Prius, everytime I get on the highway the biggest assholes are the prius owners, not to mention the fact that I'd feel way less manly in it.
Besides, not using gas is great, but after a few years you're going to need to replace that cars battery, and that's a WHOLE lot more than the one in your usual gas vehicle.
well dufus, why dont u put 1gal gasoline in your car, drive it 1000 miles on that and electricity, the u could put a sign on your car that says "1000 MPG"!!!!!!?! :-) ;')
Your prius costs at least 4.5 cents/mile to drive if u use a tank every 1000 miles. Nothing wrong with that, but lets have a little accuracy and reality here U are a mathematical disaster,and a jackass. Im not putting down electrical cars here--just you.
BIG OIL is now paying car companies to change their current diesel design -to NOT except BIODIESEL in response to growing popularity of biodiesel. People need to become informed and elect governments who will stand up to BIG OIL. Car makers should be fined for any vehicle NOT getting at least 60MPG. 100mpg should be the entry level. Shell oil developed technology for 2,500 lb vehicles to get over 300mpg in the 70's. Ref: "Fuel Economy of the Gasoline Engine" - 1977
@t33tman U need to just build a 300mpg 2500 lb. vehicle and demonstrate it to us.lol. These conspiracy theories and urban legends about car manufacturers and oil companies have always been with us and they always will be--always spread by inexperienced, ignorant, irrational dunderheads who never have had the gumption to educate themselves about the subject they pretend to be interested in. Nobody is stoping u or i from building and using any device we choose.
@tampicokeed Seems like your afraid to believe that oil companies are guilty of these "conspiracy theories" There have been many cases where oil companies have used their wealth and power to influence law, public opinion and such. Look into it, please, it saddens me to see a post like yours. Hopefully you won't continue to be one of those countless many who live in oblivion.
@ElMariachi46 Obviously, u hav littl experienc at these subjects. If this vid causd no mirth in u than that proves th point.Look at th vid title--in total or in part there are no miles that were 100mpg or 1cent/mi. Agin, review my comments that u pretend 2 respond 2. Agin, i encourage what this guy has done, but simply tel th truth when it comes 2 th numbers. Also tel th truth about how much it cost: If th tax- and rate-payers pay most of th cost, the total cost is stil the cost.
@ElMariachi46 I hav observd conspircy theories 4 50yrs. Hav always noticd that 99% of them dont stand aginst rationalty, honesty, experienc, math, basic science, and "good ol common sense"- (which is none to common these days!). In point: If any free energy sys worked i (and millions like me) would have ben using them 4 100s of years--fact is, no oil wells would ever have been drilled. What yur (sinister govt) alledgedly does has no bearing on what real people will do. Yur naivity is boundless.
@t33tman 300mpg? in the 70s? with whole steel bodies, inefficient carburetors, distributor ignition etc? sounds kinda hard to believe. im not trying to be a "hater" but it would be badass to see some facts
@t33tman Is that why the government fines car makers and big oil for not adding a bio fuel additive? The fines rack-up in the billions! and guess what! There is no such thing as the additive that the government requires them to use! Why? So that someone will develop it with all the billions the government is racking in. You should also take a look at what injection systems do. The release a small amount of fuel into the firing chamber as a very fine mist.... AKA vapor....
@t33tman Mileage since the 70's has increased significantly. I used to drive a 2000 corvette with over 400 horsepower that got 25mpg average. I don't remember anything getting 25mpg in the 70's unless it was a volkswagen or civic and they got 30 at most. Most tinkering on engines today is done with a laptop. I can increase horsepower at will on my jetta just by punching in a few numbers.You should probably stop listening to your hippy friends and actually read about what is happening in theworld
Great clip!!! Every vehicle could get this kind of mileage - for UNDER $10K. The problem is that BIG OIL is "working with the car makers". Translation: BIG OIL is paying the car makers a sh%t load of money to NOT get better mileage - to sell more gas. People started to figure out how to make vapor carburetors (improving mileage 5x) in the 70's. So BIG OIL paid the car companies to develop "Fuel injectors". Engine tinkering became more difficult - and mileage WORSENED. Mission accomplished!!
@t33tman Bet u are driving a car right now with a "vapor carb" that gets "5x" gas mileage!!!!? Why not?? Have you ever experienced one anywhere but utube?? Time to get real.
@tampicokeed There were about 20 different people who told me about this video before i watched it,but there are a lot of people around that heard about a guy having a car that got this milage a few yrs ago.It was on the local news.
What about working with an american car. Lets boost our economy. I'm tired of people telling me to by an import, because it's more fuel efficient. If you put all that love and concern into American cars instead of imports. We could create something use full instead of waiting for someone else to do it.
i am a product developer and i am working on a 1986 cylinder head design that is for used cars only....i am in the process of engine testing to remove some bugs...you will be able to go to your local shop and ask for my kit...i am still thinking what to name it before i get a patent pending....
Great video Felix. You did fantastic. There is now huge demand for plug in hybrid electric vehicles and Toyota is the first manufacturer to offer such a vehicle, the 2012 Plug In Prius- said to drive the first 35+ miles without one drop of gasoline- in city driving- at a recharge rate of about 35cents at night. After 35 miles- it's mpg is back to 50mpg. Very nice. "No Plug No Deal" :-)
I understand capitalizing on lowest cost energy but you do realize the increased load when everyone switches to electric everyones electric bill is going up because of the increased demand on electricity. So plan to pay out the as* just to run your refridgerator because of the EV.
The reason the plug-in-hybrid will not be commercial is that NiMh powered cars with plug in chargable options are patented by Chevron oil who sued Toyota + other manufacturers with an out of court settlement of $30m. And the patent rights don't expire until 2014. Lithium type batteries are another matter. google ev1 dot org
Lol good luck in the 70's there was a thing made to put vapor into your engine and it was easy to install and made any car get 100 miles to the gallon but what happened to that? Oh yeah the Guy who made it was found dead in the desert and another who tried it had men in a car sitting outside his home just watching him til he took it off his car and sold it gas companies wont let it happen that's why you don't see this stuff out there because the car companies are in on it too...
Nice. I found a way for everyone to be able to buy Hybrid car while saving 10% every time I fill my tank. And better yet Earn up to $750 In FREE Gasoline Monthly.
Why not design the car engine to power the battery system. Then the electricity can be used to power the electric car. The car engine could be much smaller and more efficient in a fully electric car. This is a similar concept to what is done for Diesel Engine Trains.
Say you drive 15K per year at $3.5 per gallon. The Fit would cost you $1,458 while the Prius would cost $455, so the Fit cost $1,000 more per year. However, the Prius (with the plug-in conversion) costs $26K compared to the Fit's $15K -- an $11K difference. You would have to drive that 100+MPG Prius for 11 years before the price difference is justified!
The Prius (with conversion) would only make sense if it costs $17K or less.
This isn't about being the most cost effective. America has always wanted cheap products, now, at the expense of the future--greed. If you look at the shaky, crumbling status of the economy including national debt, agriculture, foreign trade, etc, you would see that something as simple as limiting our dependance on oil is in our best interest should we have a sustainable future. A car that offers $.01 per gallon would kill gas prices and demand.
A car this efficient would become cheaper to manufacture and soon take the 15K car price range. In the long run, switching to cheaper transportation would help the US far more than anyone can imagine. Now just to convince the world that Nuclear is the most viable energy source that we can currently implement and that it is much safer than most people realize. We could have cheap energy and transportation. then just to move on to other US problems....
@wallace12311 The person I responded was asking about the value of the Fit vs this vehicle, so my comment addressed the point exactly.
Look, I agree with you on oil dependence. However, as it is, Americans are very pressured financially. We're still paying for Bush's trillion-dollar tax cuts/war (and now Obama's health care) and our expenses aren't getting any lower.
People would love a car that gets 100MPG, but at that price, it's simply not going to happen. It will have to come down first.
@Rezxer all you've proven is that the Honda Fit is a really good deal... Monster trucks get 0.0001 miles to the gallon and cost half a million dollars. Does that mean you would need to drive is 10000 years for it to make sense? All facts were completely made up, but you get the idea.
@fluxrez See, the thing is that the person who purchase a Monster Truck probably isn't purchasing it for fuel economy, which is the factor that is driving the argument.
If your purchased a Monster Truck for fuel economy, then yes, it would make no sense whatsoever. If you purchased it for fun/work/etc, then that makes much more sense.
@Rezxer i still don't get how you get a 100mpg even with the new prius plug in? The only way you can get that is if you constantly charge the car for every gallon you drive but that is only possible if you only drive short distances....most people don't drive that short of a distance....i have to commute into the city and back each day....50 miles all together
@mattdidit84 yes i know the first few miles are electric and as i said that would only make the MPG higher if you travel los distances and re-charge frequently but i can't do that....i drive 50 miles a day so less opportunities to charge
@Rezxer it doesnt really matter if it runs off gas or you plug your car in. Both use hydrocarbon energy to create the fuel. So basically you are not going to a traditional gas station but you plug it in and in effect directly burning extra hydrocarbon energy. Did you know at a grocery store it takes 10 calories of hydrocarbon energy to create 1 calorie of food we eat. Gasoline is the least of our problems. Wake up we are screwed.
What if you use a Molecular structual Change, by say turning Oxygen to a gas, from water, by supplying a specific temperature, to the water, which would produce all the Hydrogen in the water? What if you found a way to take any liquid to any temperature, including temperatures, above, the liquid's boiling temperature? What can be done to one liquid, can be done to any, You Tube, White Gasoline Vapor, read everything!!!!!!
The trick is the same with electric bicycles. Take the energy of the tires turning and convert them BACK to the batteries. That way it is physically impossible to run out of charge. The electric hubs could be engaged all the time and would eventually down grade the battery sizes to just a little over whatever it took to get the power of the hubs greater then the battery life. Self sustaining car.... Alot like the air car which has a generator to refuel its takes while is drives. No expenses
My perfect car... Take a Prius and give it a hybrid drive train that crossed a VW diesel with the Tesla Motors electric drive system. Tesla batteries can deliver 300+ miles before the engine would need to be turned on at all, then you have an extremely efficient diesel that powers the car and recharges the batteries, Solar panels on the roof ( I live in the desert so it would help me). If done I could drive from Phoenix AZ, to Washington DC and show them what should be done.
@adamslurch71 and thats possibly on only one tank of diesel. That would make the news and make the car companies cringe and hustle to catch up and make something that people will actually drive.
@tnguyen318 Its already known we need to make it viable, without an infrastructure like for gasoline people wont accept electric cars as real transportation, try driving 3 days across the country in an electric car. More than likely it cant happen. People need freedom to move as they please not be tied down by a system of wires and plugs.
If it's known, how come there are no electric cars on the road? Sure electric car companies don't have an infrastructure for them to be able to sell the electric car. They also don't have the know how unless the Government yanks a local garage guy into Chevrolet and have him help Chevy with a design. Meanwhile NASA has traveled 9 billion miles in outer space. Electric Technology is lacking because America is producing balogny crap not educating the students how to advance in technology.
@tnguyen318 You wondering why there arent electric cars everywhere? put it this way how many people do you know have the patiences TO CHARGE THEIR VEHICLES OVER NIGHT OR WHAT DOES A PERSON DO WHEN THEY RUN OUT OF POWER YOU CANT JUST FILL IT UP IN THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THESE ARE THINGS PEOPLE WORRY ABOUT, People are afraid of change.
Everybody charges their cars. C'mon! It's the electric car!! When they run out of power they charge it at a local charge station. How difficult is it to switch to an electric infrastructure, electric wires are everywhere!! Building a station is just next door to a telephone pole.
@tnguyen318 #-5 minutes to fill a gas tank, 8-12 hours to charge your battery. theres a huge difference, what they need are changeable batteries, you pull in low on power, they have a fully charged battery ready you do a quick swap 3-5 minutes and you back on the road. could you imagine if truckers had to wait 12 hours to recharge their batteries? nothing would ever get shipped fresh.
Truckers have to take a 10 hour break everyday for sleep and rest, why not rest while charging their trucks? I think it's a great idea.
And about someone running out of power, It said he can go weeks without running out. And he gets 100mpg. In my opinion, It would take a pretty irresponsible person to run out of power... And why not charge your car while you sleep? You're not doing anything else?
@XxWednesdayxX PRoblem is lets say you want to drive across the country to visit family, a 3 days trip just turned into 5-7. there is an infrastructure problem. Find one hotel that has electric plug ins with the right voltage and/or adapters to fit the different electric cars out there. Don't get me wrong I would love to see 100% electric vehicles everywhere but where is the money coming form to build the ultrastructure? trillions of dollars to get the whole country wired up correctly.
Thats my opinion. Automobile Manufacturers are also concerned about the practicality of the electric "battery" car among other reasons I don't know. Isn't the gasoline pump also a wire? The only difference is one takes 3 minutes the other 1/2 an Hour. Technology has been proven to limit that time to 10 minutes. Something we can sacrifice for the better of earth.
Why are we talking about plugs and wires anyway? Why don't we just use an on-board generator and magnetic multi-stage motor and get an electric car that charges itself while you drive?
The electric (battery) car's been around for a long time however for some reason it didn't sell well. Maybe because we produced an entire infrastructure based on gasoline and built millions of gasoline cars. Our only solution is gasoline. The electric car is something the media need to cover.
prius sucks!! check out the auburn challenge with the jetta and prius, the jetta wooped its butt\!!!! buy a jetta diesel and get 50+ mpg and dont worry about buying a 7000 dollar battery every 3 years!!
WHY USE BATTERY'S OR COMBUSTION ENERGY AT ALL. WHY STOP TO RECHARGE. I AM WAY AHEAD OF ANYTHING I HAVE SEEN, ALTHOUGH ALL OF IT IS BASICLY TRANSFERABLE INTO THE TECHNOLOGY I HAVE CONFIGUERED!!!
WHY USE BATERY'S OR COMBUSTION ENERGY AT ALL. WHY STOP TO RECHARGE. I AM WAY AHEAD OF ANYTHING I HAVE SEEN, ALTHOUGH ALL OF IT IS BASICLY TRANSFERABLE INTO THE SYSTEM I HAVE CONFIGUERED!!!
if your not using the engine then you may as well have 1 million mpg. its what they call FAKE mpg. i remember the geo metro got 50 mpg. but with the clean air act they put emission restrictions on cars which gave them less MPG. which uses more fuel which puts out the same amount of emissions by using more gas.
If you put cells on your roof and let them charge your car not your not using gas or coal. which is good. but now your not paying for gas. you buying expensive solar cells.
electricity isn't free. and ya still burn coal to make it. unless you live by a wind farm in that case well those things are wicked expensive too. You'd sell more people on hybrids if you could build one that didn't look like a pole smoker designed it. Make an attractive car and it will sell itself.....even if it runs on dog shit.
the EPA states the annual fuel cost of a stock 2010 prius is $1071, over 10 years that would be $10710 dollars worth of gas. The EPA states the annual fuel cost of my 1987 Chevy sprint is $1371, over 10 years that would be $13710. So over 10 years a prius owner will save $3000 dollars more than me, one problem i guarantee the battery pack in a prius will not last 10 years......Its almost 4000 dollars for a new one. Prius=Fail good job Toyota your being beat by a 20+ year old car
When u can drive pure Electric Car why go for hybrid... Hybrid is another attempt by Oil Lobbies to stay in Mega Trillion Dollar Auto industry... No hybrid.... just pure Electric Car please.... if USA needs Technical and Technological assistance... Pakistan is willing to give it to usa.... check out my page.... for home made Electric Cars in pakistan....
great video.... but do you really think that companies like GM who actually killed Electric Car .... EV1 back in 1996 are really serious about mass producing Electric CArs.... i mean just look at the ads of Nissan Leaf.... they are trying to sell cars by showing polar bear...and no Celebrity in their ads.... i mean come on now.... they sold patrol, diesel cars by show BooBs n gals..... and freedom..... and excitement..... Nissan Leaf is exciting jobless America by showing Polar Bear... hahaha
You know this would only fuck up our economy even more. The oil industry would take a huge shock, millions of jobs would be lost, and everyday prices would rise. So your eventually going to spend the money you just have to decide what you spend it on.
100 mpg has actually been around since the 70's. A mechanic in Colorado Springs invented a system that heated the liquid gas to a vapor before burning. Never heard of him since his article in the Denver Post.
so its 1c a mile for the fuel costs, but how much are your darn batteries? they're expensive and don't last for very long so they have to be displaced every once in a while polluting the environment. Plus, hybrids are stupid, they combine two technologies, so they weigh more thus they are less efficient. Just buy and build efficient small diesel engines that run on vegetable oil....way better!
@GarrettKeetley the 306 HP Mustang V6 is the first production car to make more than 300hp and get more than 30 mpg in the EPA cycle. Set the cruise control at 50 and the gas milage is around 48. The GT, with an engine rated at 412hp, isn't much worse at 26.
@madjimms You're retarded. The 306hp V6 Genesis Coupe (which I assume is the only thing you could be referring to) gets 26 mpg. The 2.0L, 210 hp turbo I-4 gets 30mpg. Weak sauce. Weak.
There is no standard for converting gasoline miles per gallon to electric miles per gallon. Look up the manufacturing process for the battery pack and the carbon foot print is worse than a semi truck. The Prius is not a car, it's an appliance. The people who use them are not drivers, they're pedestrians with wheels.
@MustangsCanTurnToo pedestrians with wheels what the hell does that mean it's not a car it's an appliance what are you using as a basis for determining this plz do explain
@MrDannidy An appliance has a specific purpose. Just as a microwave heats up food and a blender chops things up, the Prius can only go from point A to point B. Real cars have more driver involvement. They have steering feel and brake feel and have an emphasis on handling and control. The Pruis is numb in these regards. Those who drive them are equally numb when it comes to motoring.
@MustangsCanTurnToo hey man sounds like you enjoys cars like i enjoy my harley but in the end when your stuck in traffic doin nothin but burnin fuel to keep your gas guzzleing suv running there isn't much stering feel orbraking feel just wasted fuel but a priusa in eco mode wouldn'tdo that
@MrDannidy Mustangs are hardly SUV's and the traffic where I live isn't bad so long as you avoid the sheep that try to funnel down the same road at the same time. I've lived all over the country and traveled all over the world (in gas guzzling airliners and military transports) and where I live has the worst drivers I've ever seen. That steering and brake feel really come into play when one of these non drivers in their prius wheezes onto the interstate while talking on their cell phone.
@MustangsCanTurnToo pedestrians with wheels what the he77 does that mean it's not a car it's an appliance what are you using as a basis for determining this plz do explain
It is a good job you are not in the UK as you would be prosecuted! You would first be asked to prove that your car would run for 100miles using the petrol engine alone as that is what "MPG" refers to. It's a measure of how far a petrol engine will go for a gallon of fuel. I doubt you can prove this. If you dared to run a UK company claiming this, you would face criminal charges as your claim is not true. No prius can travel 100miles using the petrol engine and one gallon of petrol alone.
MPG is only measured when the car is using a petrol engine on petrol ! You can't switch the engine off, run the car on electric and add those miles on to give a false figure. Don't lie and mislead people by trying to say MPG is combined petrol and electric when it is NOT !
MPG is how many miles the engine goes on a gallon - nothing to do with electric. Show me ONE Prius that will get over 35MPG using the petrol engine. You can't!
@madtownmadman ~ Same here. That's why I bought a used one with 63k on the clicker for $10500.00. Now I enjoy getting the 44mpg AVG during the hot months when the AC blowing hard is a must. During the nicer seasons, I sometimes get 50mpg. And I'll be adding the Enginer 6kW lithium pack soon in order to increase those averages by about 20mpg on the conservative side and STILL be way under what a new one costs.

@madtownmadman I paid 21K 4 my 07 got a 2K rebate you are misinformed to the cost.My car is also a part of my hurricane prepardness I can carry 12 gallons back into the disaster area and have plenty fuel4weeks. More FYI 80mph car gets 38 mpg~ 450 miles 6 hours& 65=45mpg ~540miles no stopping for 8.5 hours try that using just a ICE? Sure fuel has to get very expensive in order for me to fully recoup investment but guess what the 70's had RATIONING it is comming soon hurricane season is near!
@madjimms Sorry, the university of berkley has already published these facts. And so have researchers at the Swiss-based EMPA institute. They found that running an electric car with lithium-ion batteries for 100,000 miles results in three times more pollution from the energy used to fuel it, compared to a similiar gas powered car.
@madjimms Ok, but think of a future where millions of electric cars are being recharged by coal fired and nuclear powerplants... You cannot make a battery with the same engergy density as a tank of gas.
I think you waste more fuel with this because if everybody does this its going to put pressure on the powerplants thus making them waste more fuel and add pollution greater than cars would do. Plus where are they going to store all those batteries once they go dead. Thats going to add a serious problem too. I guess they didn't think about problem.
@OldsCutlass1978 You have a good point there, but as far as the batteries go, they'd just get recycled. Theres good money in battery recycling. But then you'd have to take into account that you would pay a hefty core charge, when buying a new battery. Likely 10x what you would pay for a regular battery core charge. Most anybody would go that route, to avoid the core charge, and then the battery manufacturer would recycle the battery themselves.
Almost everything is possible these days. But it's the oil companies and car industries that are stopping the technology. Off course it's expensive (to purchase) and inconvenient to drive in electric powered vehicles, but years ago they said the same thing about the first heavy mobile phones!! They were expensive, heavy and had a very poor battery life (like 30 minutes or so).
So first the oil companies have to stop buying up patents and stop bribing car companies, governments etc.
Oh yeah, and how much cost this system, 15,000, 20,000 dlls? is too expensive, and this will not help poor people, this idea only will help the rich people. "the rich will be more rich and the poor will be more poor".
you must invent something very usefull and inexpensive, that´s is the challenge
yeah and then you pay for electricity for charging and then the electricity is being made by nuclear power plants and coal. and not everyone can put thousands of dollars into solar pannels to put electricity in their cars.
My 1993 Nissan Maxima gets 17-20MPG. and the 20MG AT BEST. Wtf can I do lol? Of course its fast but it kills my pockets. Its like 3x more expensive to drive around then it was in 1997
What I am focusing on is the hybrid (fossil fuel) component of your plug-in. I do very much like the idea of electricity, to power cars, in the way that you have approached the issue (viz.., without requiring a change, in the infrastructure).
kudos, to you.
Still, I, myself, would address the gas-burning component of your hybrid system, also: in order to "tweak" things, further.
Who knows? Maybe your inventive engineer innovators could coax 200MPG out of it, in the end.
My computer posted my note, before I was through...
Have any, in your non-profit start-up company considered applying the GEET fuel-processor technology (of the Pantone Group)?
There are a number of good YouTube videos, in my opinion, that effectively demonstrate the application of this GEET technology: the resultant set-ups can run on a number of alternate fuels (without further modications): including running on one of my favorites--biodiesel.
lol yes because i want a car that does 0-60 in 15 secs,, na ill stick to my celica gts and pay for premium gas with a smile on my face as i burn ur prius
well thats a false statment becasue cummins runs for ever and i see plently of 90's rams on the road but i do like ford better for reliability and im actually workin on getting one this summer. As for toyota
How many KW hours is the battery?

Maj1k1ForReal 5 days ago
beat you already.. Hydrogen fueled cars use 0 gasoline.
as for solar.. wind turtbine cost many many times less, with the same output..
$300 solar panel is maybe around 300 watts
a $300 wind turbine you can buildf yourself will generally put out more the 1000 watts.

Environmentalists and hybrids do not go hand in hand. To be an enviromentalist you have to try and take care of the enviroment, however with a hybrid you pollute the enviroment every 8 years or sooner when you dump all the acid of your batteries into the ground. However my 2001 Jetta TDi gets 46.7 average highway/city driving and has a very low pollution rate. These guys are still running gasoline in these Prius's. People really need to abandon the hype that is hybrid cars.

I've been driving an electric vehicle (Nissan Leaf) for 7 months. I love the Leaf's amazing acceleration, quiet drive, and $0 cost (free electricity from my home solar panel). I now want to convert my Prius to a plug-in hybrid to take advantage of the free electricity. Everyone should get home solar panels! My 6.1 KW AC solar system generates enough electricity for my household use, my Nissan Leaf, and some extra electricity that goes back to the grid. America can be energy independent NOW!

Your statement is not true when you say 1000 MPG. When your are not using gasoline you are using electricity. So, if you seperate the "electricity usage" from the "gas usage" that will give you the actual MPG.
So, stop saying that you are getting 1000 MPG (Miles Per Gallon) you are not. Take the electricity out of the equasion and you will see what I am talking about.

Besides, not using gas is great, but after a few years you're going to need to replace that cars battery, and that's a WHOLE lot more than the one in your usual gas vehicle.

BIG OIL is now paying car companies to change their current diesel design -to NOT except BIODIESEL in response to growing popularity of biodiesel. People need to become informed and elect governments who will stand up to BIG OIL. Car makers should be fined for any vehicle NOT getting at least 60MPG. 100mpg should be the entry level. Shell oil developed technology for 2,500 lb vehicles to get over 300mpg in the 70's. Ref: "Fuel Economy of the Gasoline Engine" - 1977

@t33tman Mileage since the 70's has increased significantly. I used to drive a 2000 corvette with over 400 horsepower that got 25mpg average. I don't remember anything getting 25mpg in the 70's unless it was a volkswagen or civic and they got 30 at most. Most tinkering on engines today is done with a laptop.

Great clip!!! Every vehicle could get this kind of mileage - for UNDER $10K. The problem is that BIG OIL is "working with the car makers". Translation: BIG OIL is paying the car makers a sh%t load of money to NOT get better mileage - to sell more gas. People started to figure out how to make vapor carburetors (improving mileage 5x) in the 70's. So BIG OIL paid the car companies to develop "Fuel injectors". Engine tinkering became more difficult - and mileage WORSENED. Mission accomplished!!

@ThePPPTrainAndCarFan Honda Fit easily.
Say you drive 15K per year at $3.5 per gallon. The Fit would cost you $1,458 while the Prius would cost $455, so the Fit cost $1,000 more per year. However, the Prius (with the plug-in conversion) costs $26K compared to the Fit's $15K -- an $11K difference. You would have to drive that 100+MPG Prius for 11 years before the price difference is justified!
The Prius (with conversion) would only make sense if it costs $17K or less.

@Rezxer That's not the point.
This isn't about being the most cost effective. America has always wanted cheap products, now, at the expense of the future--greed. If you look at the shaky, crumbling status of the economy including national debt, agriculture, foreign trade, etc, you would see that something as simple as limiting our dependance on oil is in our best interest should we have a sustainable future. A car that offers $.01 per gallon would kill gas prices and demand.

The trick is the same with electric bicycles. Take the energy of the tires turning and convert them BACK to the batteries. That way it is physically impossible to run out of charge. The electric hubs could be engaged all the time and would eventually down grade the battery sizes to just a little over whatever it took to get the power of the hubs greater then the battery life.

if your not using the engine then you may as well have 1 million mpg. its what they call FAKE mpg. i remember the geo metro got 50 mpg. but with the clean air act they put emission restrictions on cars which gave them less MPG. which uses more fuel which puts out the same amount of emissions by using more gas.
If you put cells on your roof and let them charge your car not your not using gas or coal. which is good. but now your not paying for gas. you buying expensive solar cells.

What happens when you want to get to 100kms? or 60 mph?
slipperybacon 1 year ago
100 mpg has actually been around since the 70's. A mechanic in Colorado Springs invented a system that heated the liquid gas to a vapor before burning. Never heard of him since his article in the Denver Post.

so its 1c a mile for the fuel costs, but how much are your darn batteries? they're expensive and don't last for very long so they have to be displaced every once in a while polluting the environment. Plus, hybrids are stupid, they combine two technologies, so they weigh more thus they are less efficient. Just buy and build efficient small diesel engines that run on vegetable oil....way better!

@GarrettKeetley the 306 HP Mustang V6 is the first production car to make more than 300hp and get more than 30 mpg in the EPA cycle. Set the cruise control at 50 and the gas milage is around 48. The GT, with an engine rated at 412hp, isn't much worse at 26.

@MustangsCanTurnToo Actually the Hundai Genesis was ONE of the first.
madjimms 1 year ago
@madjimms You're retarded. The 306hp V6 Genesis Coupe (which I assume is the only thing you could be referring to) gets 26 mpg. The 2.0L, 210 hp turbo I-4 gets 30mpg. Weak sauce. Weak.

There is no standard for converting gasoline miles per gallon to electric miles per gallon. Look up the manufacturing process for the battery pack and the carbon foot print is worse than a semi truck. The Prius is not a car, it's an appliance. The people who use them are not drivers, they're pedestrians with wheels.

@MustangsCanTurnToo pedestrians with wheels what the hell does that mean it's not a car it's an appliance what are you using as a basis for determining this plz do explain
MrDannidy 1 year ago
@MrDannidy An appliance has a specific purpose. Just as a microwave heats up food and a blender chops things up, the Prius can only go from point A to point B. Real cars have more driver involvement. They have steering feel and brake feel and have an emphasis on handling and control. The Pruis is numb in these regards. Those who drive them are equally numb when it comes to motoring.
MustangsCanTurnToo 1 year ago
@MustangsCanTurnToo hey man sounds like you enjoys cars like i enjoy my harley but in the end when your stuck in traffic doin nothin but burnin fuel to keep your gas guzzleing suv running there isn't much stering feel orbraking feel just wasted fuel but a priusa in eco mode wouldn'tdo that
MrDannidy 1 year ago
@MrDannidy Mustangs are hardly SUV's and the traffic where I live isn't bad so long as you avoid the sheep that try to funnel down the same road at the same time. I've lived all over the country and traveled all over the world (in gas guzzling airliners and military transports) and where I live has the worst drivers I've ever seen. That steering and brake feel really come into play when one of these non drivers in their prius wheezes onto the interstate while talking on their cell phone.

It is a good job you are not in the UK as you would be prosecuted! You would first be asked to prove that your car would run for 100miles using the petrol engine alone as that is what "MPG" refers to. It's a measure of how far a petrol engine will go for a gallon of fuel. I doubt you can prove this. If you dared to run a UK company claiming this, you would face criminal charges as your claim is not true. No prius can travel 100miles using the petrol engine and one gallon of petrol alone.

MPG is only measured when the car is using a petrol engine on petrol ! You can't switch the engine off, run the car on electric and add those miles on to give a false figure. Don't lie and mislead people by trying to say MPG is combined petrol and electric when it is NOT !
MPG is how many miles the engine goes on a gallon - nothing to do with electric. Show me ONE Prius that will get over 35MPG using the petrol engine. You can't!
STOP MISLEADING PEOPLE.

@madtownmadman ~ Same here. That's why I bought a used one with 63k on the clicker for $10500.00. Now I enjoy getting the 44mpg AVG during the hot months when the AC blowing hard is a must. During the nicer seasons, I sometimes get 50mpg. And I'll be adding the Enginer 6kW lithium pack soon in order to increase those averages by about 20mpg on the conservative side and STILL be way under what a new one costs.

More FYI 80mph car gets 38 mpg~ 450 miles 6 hours& 65=45mpg ~540miles no stopping for 8.5 hours try that using just a ICE? Sure fuel has to get very expensive in order for me to fully recoup investment but guess what the 70's had RATIONING it is comming soon hurricane season is near!

@madjimms Sorry, the university of berkley has already published these facts. And so have researchers at the Swiss-based EMPA institute. They found that running an electric car with lithium-ion batteries for 100,000 miles results in three times more pollution from the energy used to fuel it, compared to a similiar gas powered car.

@MustangsCanTurnToo This is completely avoided when you have a zero emission manufacturing facility... Like Subaru plants.

I think you waste more fuel with this because if everybody does this its going to put pressure on the powerplants thus making them waste more fuel and add pollution greater than cars would do. Plus where are they going to store all those batteries once they go dead. Thats going to add a serious problem too. I guess they didn't think about problem.
OldsCutlass1978 1 year ago
@OldsCutlass1978 You have a good point there, but as far as the batteries go, they'd just get recycled. Theres good money in battery recycling. But then you'd have to take into account that you would pay a hefty core charge, when buying a new battery. Likely 10x what you would pay for a regular battery core charge. Most anybody would go that route, to avoid the core charge, and then the battery manufacturer would recycle the battery themselves.

Almost everything is possible these days. But it's the oil companies and car industries that are stopping the technology. Off course it's expensive (to purchase) and inconvenient to drive in electric powered vehicles, but years ago they said the same thing about the first heavy mobile phones!! They were expensive, heavy and had a very poor battery life (like 30 minutes or so).
So first the oil companies have to stop buying up patents and stop bribing car companies, governments etc.

you must invent something very usefull and inexpensive, that´s is the challenge

What I am focusing on is the hybrid (fossil fuel) component of your plug-in. I do very much like the idea of electricity, to power cars, in the way that you have approached the issue (viz.., without requiring a change, in the infrastructure).
kudos, to you.
Still, I, myself, would address the gas-burning component of your hybrid system, also: in order to "tweak" things, further.
Who knows? Maybe your inventive engineer innovators could coax 200MPG out of it, in the end.

My computer posted my note, before I was through...
Have any, in your non-profit start-up company considered applying the GEET fuel-processor technology (of the Pantone Group)?
There are a number of good YouTube videos, in my opinion, that effectively demonstrate the application of this GEET technology: the resultant set-ups can run on a number of alternate fuels (without further modications): including running on one of my favorites--biodiesel.
(Exhaust gases are cleaner, too).

To cromi7 (video owner):
I am retired and in my 60s. So, although the following questions may seem simplistic, it is something I wish to address, for the sake of your viewers:
1) (perhaps rhetorically) Why do the primary AutoMakers have such a great amount of power (viz., control)? They lobby Congress, too, of course.
2) What (in your mind) are the factors that keep Congress from "acting", in this arena?
Why do YOU feel that Congress is so "reluctant"? (beyond their ignorance, of it)
