HumanCar® Overview of Imagine PS, FM4 and 300kph Rod engineering details and specifics of the new Imagine PS.
" With two of us doing a moderate amount of exercise it was a significant boost to the voltage of the entire system. The car would speed right up." Prof. Greenwood P.E.



HumanCar® Inc. technical discussion series videos set a new standard for communicating the sophistication of engineering with all HumanCar models. Prof. Charles Greenwood P.E. covers topics such as the HC power drive system, the evolutionary E4 sedan, the success of the voltage generation system on the new Imagine PS, teaching college physics to 5 year olds and the power of thought.

* Breakout of the revolutionary concept of the on-board human-power 'boost' dial. "The dial is a the actual power drive to the field of the generator. So as you turn up the field in the generator it (the HumanCar Power Drive) generates more and more amps to the system. With a just a moderate amount of exercise you feel a boost and the car speeds right up." Prof. Charles Greenwood P.E.

* Safety: The body is the chassis: aircraft construction of the Imagine PS, exo-skeletal safety cage chassis evolution of the E4 Sedan, advanced rally type harness and back/neck restraints/air bag implementations and vehicle dynamics: how a tight vehicle should handle.

"When you roll out by push-car in a 200mph dragster at 20mph to the staging area you can immediately tell how it handles. If it does not handle there it's not going to handle at any other speed. When a vehicle is tight you can tell right away, how does it react to bumps, how does it initiate turns..." Prof. Charles Greenwood P.E.

  • Dual motor system - user optional battery pack for demographics - aircraft construction - human power interface creates 2kW+ - Prof. Greenwood P.E. has created over 1.1 hp on the FM4 dyno. solo. Power gen. system works very well, in fact feels like the human is the 'turbo'

  • Can You Guys Create A Plane by HumanPower ?

  • Looks kool but the problem is the safety issues...

    If any car hits you, even a punch buggy, you are dead

see all

  • @canyounotsee if you're walking down the road and get hit by a punch buggy, ur just as dead

  • it looks like a recreational vehicle. I don't see where i can place my groceries and stuff. I hope they add a trunk or some sort of baggage compartment.

  • brilliant work

  • you need big family...

  • @TheSomePlayer lol if u get trie u die!!

  • I see only one problem.

    It's too difficult to both "pump iron" and concentrate on driving. You really need a big accumulator in a complex traffic. You can pump easily on a free highway but in dense city-style traffic it may be too demanding.

  • Well if everyone had one there would be less fat people in the world lol

  • I like your ideas alot. As you know . Your cars are the furture. But the public isnt ready to get out of their SUV,s to stop buying gas . Keep up the good work . I ride my bike to work some days . (10 ) miles. Did you know jays shop is almost 100,000 SF.
