Neil Young & Lincvolt at SEMA 2010- Part 2

Part 2 of Neil Young's keynote address from the Driving Green Performance Seminar at the SEMA convention in Las Vegas, Nov. 2, 2010.

In this series of videos, Neil explains the Lincvolt project, the technologies used and created in the development of the car and unveils Lincvolt for the SEMA community.

Lincvolt is the world's first Micro-Turbine powered Bio-Electro-Cruiser.
She draws her power from a Bio-Diesel fueled Capstone Microturbine generator, and a UQM 150KW prime mover and super-safe Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries.

In 2007, Young assembled a team to modify his 1959 Lincoln Continental to enable it to run on electricity. The goal was to inspire a generation by creating a clean automobile propulsion technology that serves the needs of the 21st century, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to a new low while delivering performance that is a reflection of the driver's spirit.
By creating and demonstrating this new clean power technology, Lincvolt hopes to show a way to reduce the demand for petro-fuels enough to eliminate the need for war over energy supplies, thereby enhancing the security of the USA and other nations throughout the world.

nice parts but the shell should be retired in a museum...aerodyamic efficiency is the missing piece of the parts puzzle : )

[SEMAChannel]

Good stuff, thanks for sharing.

I ended up buying Capstone stock right after seeing this vid (I had heard of Capstone before but this reminded me of it). It went up - thanks Neil & the Lincvolt team for the inspiration - + in WAY more important ways than just a stock!!

How much carbon did the fire release into the atmosphere?

To preserve the environment, more people should buy good used cars and modernize them. Arsonist or not, the LincVolt is still far better than any Prius, EV1 or Leaf ever produced.

This braggart is a piece of work huh

Keep at in Neil, your dream is the dream of many of us. And like you, some of us are pursuing that dream with everything we have. Vote for our Pepsi Refresh EV project starting Dec. 1st - the H2EVair - a converted 1963 Corvair.

The Fire!!!

Neil's warehouse had a fire which unfortunately damaged LincVolt.. and other personal stuff of Neils.

[Malanthus]

It was in a warehouse fire.

Conspiracy theorists could have a field day with this one.
