  • What part does "nitrogen" play in this gokart...please explain...

  • u dont need hydrogen just batterys and supercaps works fine:)

  • i think the application for ultra capacitors can improve everything.solar-wind homes batteries would last a long time from not getting high energy draw spikes

  • I got my Christmas Present early, a bargain from EBay, 3200 N35 Grade Neodymium Magnets 30mm x 10mm x 2mm slabs. That's 32 metres long 30mm wide. Eight metres per wheel! They will be embedded in an ultra strong toothed belt(quasi-linear motor) Those 200 mph Formula '1' race cars had better move off the track. they will be too slow, and will get in the way!:-)

  • your right....

    But, in this acceleration attempt the kart used a fuel cell (abouth 8,2 kW) and socalled ultra-capacitors (abouth 35 kW). Adding more ultra-capacitors would significantly increase the short time powersource and decrease the acceleration time.

    However, this is only speculation. Main goal will be in endurance racing, and not in drag racing.

  • Very cool hydrogen/supercap electric kart. However, 11.4s is not a record for electric drive go-karts in the 1/8 mile. Go to nedra dot com, click on record holders to see 10.17s for a 48V e-Kart in 2001 with Lead Acid batteries. Lithium batteries should be even faster. Where hydrogen may have a future in racing is in endurance, not drag racing. The future of drag racing is with Lithium Iron Phosphate, like A123systems powered Kill-a-Cycle killacycle dot com
