What range does it have? More companies should get into this market! Who wouldn't buy a $7000 50mph 30mile EV if their commute is short enough?
Renault Twizy ( zUJPp7pkzFM ) looks like an awesome design, but still costs too much: $9k + $65/MONTH for battery lease.
I mean, batteries are $1000/kwh (and getting cheaper)! So where's my $7000 30-mile range Twizy!? (Those with longer commutes could pay for optional bigger batteries, and the smaller battery allows a killer low price point.)
tell you why car companys "arent coming out with" this crap, no one want to recharge there dam car all night to use it for 2 hrs...they tried over and over...if u really wanna go green...look into steam...but requires lots of maintenance and prep
@Moparfan63 ...and it needs a considerable heat source :P where would you get that from, a burning fuel? so much for going green, and electric heat would still require batteries that would need charging, good idea but not thought all the way through.
@1grinder1 Don't disregard nuclear power. It used to generate steam of course, but it's becoming very usable and there are developments being made to produce much safer and cleaner nuclear power.
Also, photovoltaic plates, windmills and and other revolving frames can be used to generate a good deal of electricity. It's cleanest, cheapest and easiest for the common man. The biggest downside is that it's turnout isn't high enough for big business.
@boomtao He wouldn't sell it for 2500. That's what it cost HIM. That's not counting all of the time he spent working on it, all of the money that he could have made in that time period.
thats pretty cool.. i wish i was allowed to build my ideas.. sadly i can't draw them down so each and every bit of about 250 designs is kinda stuck in my head.. somehow it seems to work for me.. just one thing.. Where do you get electric motors from in the UK? also does anyone in the UK know where i can get 2 old man scooter things from for free? as i want to build something a little odd with their motors.. don't ask what it is as the answer will just be silence..

@Xtclilium well, I think he has a vehicle now and doesn't have to pay but .02 per gallon equivalent for the miles he will travel until the batteries die like 15 years from now(Lithium Polymers last a LONG time). This kinda is a no brainer. WINNING!
Amazing job, good for you! I hope to see you at one of Craig Vetter's High Mileage events later this year. You can see a lot of other ideas that folks have put together and raced at his events to see who gets the most MPG! See Craig Vetter dot com for more. :{)
just because you plug it in does not mean its better for the environment you still need the same amount of energy to move it and it just so happens that electricity is cheap that don't mean its efficient
@minibikerider1 LOL Again I'm going to get to blast someones comment away again! :).
These things are perfectly capable of being charged by Solar, Or wind power. and If someone really did it to "Go green" they would build their own station. Now before you say "Oh but it takes energy to make those things" well it does but you can't create Energy from thin air to build them. Once you get enough of theme built THEN you can run the factories off a farm of Wind/solar power.
its teens like this guy who have the know how and drive to think it through thats basically the spot light for saving the country and might possibly the world. keep thinking on making things like this happen and just maybe you change something good for the world.
were the first cars the most efficient? with every new technology there will be a change-over, Now that he has built this car, i would assume the next one will go further into being green, besides, recycling materials? is that not green? so what if he used petrol products. His car can go further for less, give the kid a break... you need more data than two cents per mile? Why?
Any car can be this efficient relatively, its harder to make a full electric one that can be efficient and run for as long as a gas powered one would.
The next story we hear from this guy, he was run over with a big truck, died of cancer, arrested on false charges, suicide or disappeared like all the others.... or he sold out, on some beach in Mexico with his millions from oil company's who do not want this tech out....
Well, it's a start. Baby steps. Problem is... Take a look at al the materials used on this car... 95% of comes from petro in some way or another. We keep forgetting that it's not just the gas that comes from oil... plastic, fiberglass, rubber, paint, etc - all are petroleum based products. Again, a start. I would say your next step is to get off the electrical grid. Where are the solar panels? Wind turbine recharging station? Your on your way, look beyond the car!
The main purpose in building electric vehicles now is not to draw the entire building process away from petrol and related materials, but to create a vehicle that does not require constant use of gasoline, oil, or any other polluting substances. Only after this has been widely achieved, is anyone going to start looking deeply into ways to eliminate polluting substances in the building process as well.

@douggie7772010 Yeah me too, I hate how they brainwash kids into thinking that America is perfect and that its the greatest country ever to exist in the world and that everywhere else is evil/and or stupid and that the American way is the only right way an that we should support our troops who are nothing more then cold hearted killers, and worship the flag like its our god. Yeah I hate the way schools brainwash children to. But going green isn't brainwashing its smart

@harleighquinn Tell me about it, pal! They even put up websites about World war III and other fear-mongering subjects. A true friend just recently explained to me that:
"An opinion is like an asshole: everybody has one."
At least the Occupy Wall Street movement proved far more peaceful, striving non-violence. But we are still inundated by violent, obsessive menfolk.
I really appreciate your reply. I could be one of those people who are more able than most.
@RooFx Agreed. Range is almost more important than cost of operation in a lot of places. I've seen people bragging about electric vehicles that can only travel about 50 miles on a charge, which is nothing when you think about it. Especially if you live in a more rural area and the next town is at least 20 miles away, would suck to be you if you needed to run errands there.
Exactly.. "Yeah I will be by around 3pm..I have to run to the bank in town (28 miles RT), then after I recharge I will be by, but will probably need to borrow an outlet so I can get back home"
People are so naive to think that our future depend only on the genius of an inventor."The car companies aren't coming out with this things they'r saying they're gonna come up with" And that is PRECISELY for a reason; the same reason why they are going to pay you a visit fairly soon and offer you to buy the patent of your invention and then we'll never hear from that car again,OR you refuse to sell your patent and your life will become very difficult...
@melquideses Exactly. Suppression is why we don't have free anergy and antigeravity propulsion and a big public space programme. These thisngs were invented many decades ago, and suppressed. Reality is what we are told by the "authorities" is a tissue of LIES. FREE YOU MIND. LEARN.
Yeah, it must be those "evil corporations" holding it back, "man." It couldn't be the massive list of regulations, the standards of which those corporations have to meet and which determine nearly everything about what goes into a car and would make the production of this thing impossible.
@lordpoppycock Lol, and you think it's not? Do you understand what "greed" and "hunger for power" means? Did you know that people are loaded with both? If I were an oil company and had the ridiculous funding they do, I would do my best to "guide" innovation in such a way that would keep people dependent on my product too...well if I was a greedy son of a bitch at least. Good on this kid...it may fall on the people to overcome oil dependency on their own.
@urborg74 The oil companies do this with "free energy" like solar panels as well -- when I was looking up the cost of solar, I found that BP was listed as the owner of some and they just happened to be "out of stock." You are right, it is up to the grassroots like this kid to build their own.
Hats off to you, Mr Mark King. I salute your ingenuity & determination shown at such a young age. You are an inspiration not just to your peers but to everyone.
You can't help admiring the inventiveness and enthusiasm being shown here. Shame that investors and employers are so sluggish to recognise such talent and ideas.especially in the present economy.
THE RIGHT TO ORDER multi functional and economical car, with a removable mounting engine would be used as a generator to power the facility. The engine will run on compressed air and small engine batteries from the vehicle frame.
pay to park at you school??? total bullshit the school has no right to push the agenda and punish people when the parking spaces are already payed for by our taxes or just being a citizen. that is not american.
@rstevewarmorycom your sosiciopath, claiming that a device who's output is99% h2o is killing the planet. and no a very vocay and ill informed minority does not have the right to push their agenda when the majority is smart enough to know better than that. no the world is not dying. god bless you and your misguided ideas.
@rstevewarmorycom was not referrign to hho , h20 is water. the world is not dying of co2. yes methane is a danger so we better use it and start farming it before it get's warm however the worst cast scenario is water levels rising.
@rstevewarmorycom do you know how close to impossible it is to even raise the temperatures of the hydrates by even a hundreth of a degree??? so the solution to the problem is to start farming this stuff . global warming at worst will raise the overall temp about 1/10 of a degree in 100 years, so were not talking eminent danger here. again sea level rise is pretty much the worst that can happen. bring some numbers and facts to the table like temps depth heat per cu ft of water and time. ty
@rstevewarmorycom methane is burning on the ocean floor anyways . all supporters of alternatives act as if hydrogen does not produce co2 either. farming it will reduce it's volume so if it ever does warm up( highly unlikely in the next 10,000 years no matter what we do. also temperature reading stations have gone off line in russia, improperly placed next to a/c vents and on heat islands in the middle of parking lots. this rise is not accurate. also sub sea ocean sensors throw the av up.
@rstevewarmorycom the heat island effect is very true goto las vegas in winter and just outside the city it's freezing , yes heat islands do exist. forget that though many temp stations are next to a/c vents and other heat pollutants. the sub sea ocean sensors have been proven to kick up the average as well. the sun warms the ocean surface down to 15 ft where these are located throwing the average up even more. methane flumes are in the thousands constantly burning .
@rstevewarmorycom yes and it burns at thousands of degrees, there is actually types of life that depend on the flumes and live in this hyperly hot ambiance. anaerobic combustion is also a possibility. think outside of your narrow minded box, sir. (no offense)
The weather people cannot even be sure of a forecast seven days away and now you are going to trust a very new science that was only created to support/justify global warming.
You just keep working the global warming of Earth thing
Apparently, man-made global warming has gotten so out of hand because of SUVs and coal-chugging global warming skeptics that even the biggest planet in our solar system – Jupiter – is being affected by our addiction to carbon pollution. And that follows the other solar effects of our dependence on fossil fuels, including Mars losing its polar ice cap (what will Martian polar bears do now?)
@rstevewarmorycom You don't seem to be right enough in the head to tell he was trolling you and calling you stupid. Your response only confirmed his assumptions.
Typical was the situation at the U.S. Weather Bureau, where an advisory group reported in 1953 that climatology was "exclusively a data collection and tabulation business."
HHO is proven to work just fine. IDK where you get your data but the issue (all along) has been that it cannot be made for free. As long as it is a lot cheaper to make than gasoline.. what is the problem with having only water vapor exit your exhaust system?
@rstevewarmorycom the school belongs to the general public who already payed to have the right to park there by merely being a citizen . no you as a mere administrator do not have the right to push your agenda on public property.
People are missing the main point and that is a flagrant infringement on the tax payers' rights. As if the fuel costs for a regular daily driven vehicle were not a much larger incentive.
@RooFx yes the insutution is already payed for by taxpayers and even more so by gas powered vehicles. the administrators have not right to push their personal agenda on a public parking lot. however fuel cost for operating a vehicle are only a burden to the poorest of the poor.
@circusboy90210 Tht all depends on what you have to drive and how far you drive each week.. I have to drive over 800 miles a week and believe me when I say.. It IS a burden to more than just the poorest of the poor. The combined fuel cost here per month for our two vehicles (just going to work) is over 240.00 a week. That aint chicken scratch and then ya got oil, tires ect.
@RooFx I drive thousands of mile to get to my job sites every week or so. it's just money. the tsa are not that hard to deal with. driving a car is always cheaper and better than flying. this is coming from a person who got a job with flight perks just for the flying experience. tsa does not regulate those nor are they a legitimate law enforcement agency.
Unfortunately they wont let you drive it on the street legally until you have hundreds of pounds of safety equipements which will require a more sturdy chasis which will require a bigger motor which will cost the same as any other gas auto, but with the electric you will only be able to go 1/10th the distance on a charge. Take the $2400 buy a real car and just pay the parking fee which the school is still going to charge you to park your electric car.
@rstevewarmorycom That may be true, check the codes for the area of the world you live in. If you can classify it as a moped you may just need some kind of lights and signs on it. I think you cannot drive it on a highway where I live. In Africa bush I think anything goes!
Price is still too insane, I'm going to build one out of a home built Adult Tricycle (super low weight, perfect for supporting batteries)... I have the car batteries I reconditioned myself with an electric desulfator, and I'm going to make the tricycle out of a scrounged beach cruiser and make the back end myself. After that, all I need is some electric motor, and maybe eventually a controller. My total budget is $50, I have to keep it under that.
Really excellent work. His point that the car companies are not coming through is exactly correct. The world is a paradise with plenty of clean, natural, renewable energy-- it is just the few that seem to think the entire world exists to serve them and so we stay backwards in technology and clean, natural energy.
@norda58 The rules for production of a car for sale is not the same as for personal use, to be allowed to be sold, this car would need to go through alot of testing, brake efficiency/distance test, impact test, tyre testing, suspension etc. this would fail really bad, and you would have to be able to produce all kind of numbers such as charge time, battery life, miles per charge, tyre wear amount, tyre types and so on. Most of these rules don't apply if you build it for your self though
So, to all those who still don't get it that we have to put all our effort into struggling through the inevitable societal-technological learning curve of switching all vehicles off oil as soon as possible: what happens to ALL oil-powered vehicles when the oil runs out? The world is past peak oil, so gas prices will only rise from now on.
Surely the announcer meant it must have cost $24,000 !!
I've spent $1700 - only $700 less - for an electric-assist tricycle (plus tuneup when it got here, plus helmet) so far. It took 3 months to get here from China-and-Germany (parts from both countries). And, it's not enclosed, and I gotta ride on the dangerous edge of the road.
They have been experimenting and building these contraptions since the 60's. This supposed to be new? Good luck getting it by government road worthiness and crash testing!!!!!
What range does it have? More companies should get into this market! Who wouldn't buy a $7000 50mph 30mile EV if their commute is short enough?
Renault Twizy ( zUJPp7pkzFM ) looks like an awesome design, but still costs too much: $9k + $65/MONTH for battery lease.
I mean, batteries are $1000/kwh (and getting cheaper)! So where's my $7000 30-mile range Twizy!? (Those with longer commutes could pay for optional bigger batteries, and the smaller battery allows a killer low price point.)

@Moparfan63 maybe steam from 100 years ago.
but modern steam is efficient and can be ready to run in under 30 seconds.
you can also run it on any fuel source.
liquid, solid or gas fuels are all usable.
Basically all electricity still comes from steam.
All the most advanced military ships run on steam.
Steam does NOT require lots of maintenance and prep.
It just takes someone or some company with enough balls and cash to hire someone like me who has half a clue to design the system.

@RooFx Agreed. Range is almost more important than cost of operation in a lot of places. I've seen people bragging about electric vehicles that can only travel about 50 miles on a charge, which is nothing when you think about it. Especially if you live in a more rural area and the next town is at least 20 miles away, would suck to be you if you needed to run errands there.

@rstevewarmorycom was not referrign to hho , h20 is water. the world is not dying of co2. yes methane is a danger so we better use it and start farming it before it get's warm however the worst cast scenario is water levels rising.
circusboy90210 3 months ago
@circusboy90210 No, using methane makes CO2 and the
global warming continues. The methane I'm talking about is
from the methane hydrates in the ocean, warm them up
enough and they release, and the earth actually cooks, we're
not talking a few degrees rise, we're talking 50 degree rise!
So, as you see, sea level rise is NOT the worst that can happen!
We're talking actual death of the planet, temps that high can
kill ALL life.
rstevewarmorycom 3 months ago
@rstevewarmorycom do you know how close to impossible it is to even raise the temperatures of the hydrates by even a hundreth of a degree??? so the solution to the problem is to start farming this stuff . global warming at worst will raise the overall temp about 1/10 of a degree in 100 years, so were not talking eminent danger here. again sea level rise is pretty much the worst that can happen. bring some numbers and facts to the table like temps depth heat per cu ft of water and time. ty
circusboy90210 3 months ago
@circusboy90210 Farming it doesn't help. Methane is 1) the worst of
the global warming gases, and 2) if you burn it you just get more CO2.
Also, last I looked we were up 1.5 C in the oceans over the last 50 years
already, I think you should check that out. Some scientists say the
methane hydrates are already pouring out of the Bermuda area, and
that this is what causes ships to sink there by creating sudden
pockets of ocean where the water density drops due to methane
destroying bouyancy.
rstevewarmorycom 3 months ago
@rstevewarmorycom methane is burning on the ocean floor anyways . all supporters of alternatives act as if hydrogen does not produce co2 either. farming it will reduce it's volume so if it ever does warm up( highly unlikely in the next 10,000 years no matter what we do. also temperature reading stations have gone off line in russia, improperly placed next to a/c vents and on heat islands in the middle of parking lots. this rise is not accurate. also sub sea ocean sensors throw the av up.
circusboy90210 3 months ago
@circusboy90210 Uh, no. Methane's not burning on the ocean floor.
What would it burn WITH?? And Hydrogen when burned produces
water, so they're right. No CO2. Farming what? You're seeming to

@rstevewarmorycom the heat island effect is very true goto las vegas in winter and just outside the city it's freezing , yes heat islands do exist. forget that though many temp stations are next to a/c vents and other heat pollutants. the sub sea ocean sensors have been proven to kick up the average as well. the sun warms the ocean surface down to 15 ft where these are located throwing the average up even more. methane flumes are in the thousands constantly burning .

@circusboy90210 Are you sure you're not thinking of the mid-oceanic
volcanic vents? Those aren't "burning" and the stuff coming out is
not methane, it's water and steam. "Anearobic combustion" of methane
would yield just hydrogen and carbon. There's no free oxygen down
there to burn either one. Anaerobic bacteria produce methane, but
they don't burn it. There are a few bacteria which can eat methane,
but only very slowly. I suspect you're confused.

we can infer it. The current output of the sun is not unknown,
and the change in earth's surface energy doesn't match a
simple change in solar output. What it DOES match is the
carbon dioxide induced greenhouse global warming. The rest

Of course hydrogen works, but the "HHO Scam" is the
commercial spam wanting to sell you a way to use a
peanut-butter jar sized electrolysis device to make a
little hydrogen oxygen mixture that supposedly boosts
gas mileage. It doesn't, and the fact that some people
think it does is simply evidence of a bad science education
system in this country.
rstevewarmorycom 1 month ago
@RooFx To make a significant difference
in gas mileage it would take a huge electrolyzer that used as
much gasoline running a huge alternator as it would take to
run the car electrically. It would take literally a tank truck
of hydrogen at standard temperature and pressure being
towed behind to store enough hydrogen to run a car engine.
Liquid or highly compressed hydrogen works, but the HHO
devices are scams.
