Homemade Electric Car Maker Builds in his Garage

To see the 1 hr. documentary - http://www.createspace.com/205101 . I made this film years ago but it is contemporary and has amazing footage in it. This homemade carmaker is quite a character To see more of my work, visit www.theHoffmancollection.com.

@mikennamorato No, why? You have to support what you are saying, you can't just call people names, that's child's play.

@aForkandaSpoon Are you dumb!

This is absolutely fantastic... kudos.. well done!

Cool to watch some of these old videos. Can't wait to see if the next generation hybrids are decent. I really think the Mitsubishi evolution 11 hybrid will be the breaking point where I could actually want to drive a hybrid. We get our power from coal here so I don't agree with the pollution stuff.

@Aireon7 Lets say everyone gets home around 6:00 and plugs in their car. All the windmills are running and what does the grid do to compensate? Fire up diesel generators which are the only generators that can start up fast enough to compensate. The more efficient coal plants (but still not great) take an hour or more to just start producing power, not even at full potential.

@stiffyschlong put a bunch of mirrors in space and aim it at a specific solar catching area and you have a high grade military weapon, along with a great power source.

@stiffyschlong Ha ha, I haven't read the whole conversation yet, but it looks to me like I am on beke's side. And if he didn't point it out, charging and discharging batteries results in a huge loss plus motor-control inefficiency, and the motor which is around 50-90 % efficiency. Basically you burn more coal and diesel to power generators to charge cars. Combustion engines are more efficient in the end. Nuclear isn't the way to go either, its space that we need to look at.

@beke6874 I don't know which Wikipedia entry you copy pasted that from but ur wrong. Wrong wrong wrong. You're just a schill puppet of the nucular elites!

[beke6874]

@stiffyschlong False! The average efficiency of all coal power stations in the world currently stand at around 31%, approximately the same as an internal combustion engine. This is fact not opinion.

If we have enough uranium fuel, we need not be concerned with efficiencies. And what makes you think that is so dangerous? Don't build a nuclear power plant on a fault line. As for the waste, put it in a rocket and shoot it at the sun.

4:02 - 4:20 this guy is fucking stupid it's unbelievable.
