If you're preparing to survive the Greatest Depression with free, or nearly free energy, you'll need my revived battery technology, or one of the other energy enhancement inventions by the Vancouver Gadgeteers.

FREE BATTERIES I'll Never Buy Another Battery Guy mentioned in News

NEWSPAPER - REVIVED BATTERY ELECTRIC SCOOTER in PIER PARTY

You dont stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old because you stopped laughing.

Seemingly used up AA alkaline, car, and wheelchair batteries can still be revived for less than 1/10 of buying new ones. Two magazines picked me as one of the top ten green inventors for 2008. I offer this technology to the Average Joe.

The next great Canadian idea: Revived batteries
Joe Castaldo
From the July 21, 2008 issue of Canadian Business magazine

Rob Matthies white 1982 GMC pickup truck isnt anything special at first glance. But the words Electric Powered Vehicle printed on its tailgate may tip you off that something is up. The full extent of the trucks oddness is apparent only when you peek under the hood. Thirty batteries — different sizes, voltages and brands — connected by a tangle of cables keep the vehicle running. Whats more, all of the batteries were previously dead or discarded. Most people who own electric vehicles look at the battery box and cant believe it works, because its like a dogs breakfast, Matthies says.

The Vancouver resident says hes found a way to re-juice dead batteries, and the truck is proof of the methods success. Matthies says hes replaced only one of the trucks batteries in more than a year. Depending on the type, a batterys life can be extended by four to six times.

The 56-year-old alternative-school instructor admits he has less of a commercial bent than other inventors, and hes reluctant to disclose exactly how the process works, but hes willing to teach anyone whos curious — for $. Anyone can do it, he says. Well, almost. If youre not the kind of person who has patience and precision, he says, you will probably not be happy to do it.

FOR SALE TO ELECTRIC VEHICLE MAKERS:
"Low Amp Draw" Current Reduction Breakthrough

I've developed a way of reducing current from 400A to 70A on the steep bridges of Metro Vancouver.

Check out these video clips, after our final changes...

With this breakthrough, an EV can go further, or use fewer batteries.
Just one of the breakthroughs of the Vancouver Gadgeteers.

With electric vehicles, the "race" is not who is fastest, but rather, who has the LOWEST CURRENT DRAW on an long uphill road or bridge.

Only a vehicle with clever "electricals" can do this. If you pull out your calculator, you'll realize that the relatively very-low-watts involved here are close to what is theoretically possible.

Can you show a lower current draw on a similar-size/weight electric vehicle?



Can Any Electric Truck Show a Lower Amperage Uphill Run?

If you have an electric pickup, how many amps (at 120VDC nominal) do you draw going up a bridge? About 400 amps, probably?

Lower amps = Longer range

Also, the batteries on this EV were dicarded, worn-out batteries, some from 2003 and from mixed sizes, types, and voltages.


If you'd like to know how to do this, check out our sales listings, such as this one:

  • why is the break light on?

  • Minor flaw in electrical system. The brakes do work.

  • did you make the truck or buy it? how long does it take for it to fully charge?

  • The details are on EVALBUM's website  -- there are many hours of info on this vehicle. Surf for REVIVED BATTERY ELECTRIC PICKUP.

  • 2:22 ease up on the GAS pedal? more like AMP pedal :)

  • manual electric?

  • how did  you insure your truck

  • Nicola Tesla's car used a battery switching trick which makes the batteries self charging. Google "Tesla Switch", and positive results and replications are found on overunity website.
