| Promoting Plug-In Electric Cars | | 2008-07-16 05:13:42 | | She is not even old enough to drive yet, but Liza Stoner from Minneapolis, MN is riding her bike to Washington, D.C. from her hometown to raise awareness about plug-in electric vehicles and electric hybrids (PEHVs). The 14-year old girl aspires to be an environmentalist when she grows up, and it appears that she is well on her way. Currently, Liza has completed more than half of the 1,585 mile "Ride for Renewal", riding 40-70 miles per day. She plans on delivering a petition to Congress on or about July 18, 2008 when she arrives at the Capitol. You can sign the petition here, which seeks governmental tax credits and other incentives for companies that produce electric cars. Talk about a breath of fresh air! I've already signed the petition - now its your turn. | | By: Solar Shingles | | |

| BMW plans 500 Electric MINIs for California | | 2008-07-10 14:38:00 | | BMW's MINI brand already produces some of the most efficient vehicles for sale in the US, and sources say the pint-sized cars will soon go emissions free, at least in California. BMW is planning to lease 490 Minis in California, with an additional 10 vehicles planned for show car duty. The emissions-free MINIs will be silver with a yellow roof, which should stand out nicely in the land of fruits and nuts.There are no details at this point pertaining to EV range or date of availability, but BMW claims it will make an announcement regarding electric vehicles later in the year. With all the talk of game-changing vehicles coming in the near future, we're getting the feeling that the upcoming auto show season could be one of the more memorable on record.[Source: Automotive News (subs req'd)] Tag: Coupes, Hybrids Alternative, Green, Hatchbacks, BMW, MINI | | By: Car News | | |

| Nissan Plans Electric Car in U.S. by ’10 | | 2008-06-11 03:26:00 | | In an interview Monday, Mr. Ghosn said Nissan decided to accelerate development of battery-powered vehicles because of high gasoline prices and environmental concerns, not just because of the need to meet stricter fuel-economy standards.“What we are seeing is that the shifts coming from the markets are more powerful than what regulators are doing,” he said.Mr. Ghosn said Nissan envisioned a broad range of electric vehicles, starting with small cars, and adding: “It’s not only about a small city car or a small minivan. It can also be about a small commercial vehicle and a small crossover.”Mr. Ghosn was not always enthusiastic about alternative-fuel technology. In a 2005 speech to the National Automobile Dealers Association, he called gas-electric hybrids “niche products” useful only to meet strict fuel-economy and emission standards in states like California.“It wasn’t long ago that Carlos Ghosn was a big naysayer about the role of electric vehicles,” said John O’D | | By: Nissan Cars News | | |

| Tesla Roadster Electric Sports Car | | 2008-06-01 14:28:32 | | The first electric car manufactured by Tesla Motors, the high-performance, zero-emissions Tesla Roadster sports car, was unveiled before a crowd of car buffs and potential customers. The electric Tesla Roadster has the equivalent of 135 mpg and a range of 250 miles on a single charge, a combination unseen until now in a mass-produced electric car. Its extended range is due to its state-of-the-art lithium-ion Energy Storage System. The Tesla Roadster is capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in four seconds.Using a unique two-speed electrically activated manual transmission, the Tesla Roadster's power comes from a 3-phase, 4-pole AC induction motor. The motor is controlled by the Power Electronics Module (PEM) which also controls the inverting direct current to 3-phase alternating current, charging and braking systems.Tesla Motors's engineers have gone to great lengths to ensure that not only is the Tesla Roadster safe to drive, but also is safe when charging, at home or on the roadThe e | | By: cars & bikes | | |

| Renault debuts electric sedan in Israel | | 2008-05-17 11:47:00 | | A landmark was recently passed on Israel's road to reduced dependance on foreign oil when Renault and Project Better Place held a demonstration of an electric car that will hit Israeli streets next year. For those unacquainted with Project Better Place, the Silicon Valley start-up headed by tech guru Shai Agassi has teamed up with Renault-Nissan to build and deploy fully electric Meganes in the seaside Middle Eastern country. The batteries that will power the vehicles are built by a joint-venture between Nissan and NEC, have a 125-mile range and will be supported by half a million charging stations and hundreds of battery-swap stations. Those specs should be enough to satisfy drivers in a country barely 60 miles between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, and 260 miles from the Red Sea to its border with Lebanon. An initial launch fleet is scheduled to hit roads next year before sales begin in late 2010. The hope is that Israel will prove a suitable test case before the project | | By: Car News | | |

| Homelite UT42100 Electric Blower Review | | 2008-05-15 11:58:14 | | The fine folks at Home Depot sent me the Homelite UT42100 electric blower so I could try it out. I already own a much larger leaf blower so I was eager to try out this smaller one. This little guy packs quite a punch and makes cleaning up a walkway, driveway or small project site a breeze.This little 7 amp power house has two speeds; quiet and power, ranging from 120 mph to 150 mph. At a very reasonable suggested retail price of just under $30 it's really hard to find much wrong with this blower. The only thing I don't like (and I don't like this about my larger one) is the fact that you have to plug it into a electrical power supply. But, for $30 it's really hard to complain and expect a gas powered unit! The unit only weighs 5 lbs so it's very light and easy to use. I'll definitely use this around the yard this summer cleaning up my messes and keeping the walkways looking great.I would definitely suggest this product for anyone looking for a very inexpensive lightweight leaf/dust | | By: Helpful Advice for Home Construction Improvement | | |

| 7 Modes For Electric Guitar | | 2008-05-14 18:50:47 | | The 7 diatonic modes for electric guitar include:
Ionian
Dorian
Phrygian
Lydian
Mixolydian
Aeolean
Locrian
All Greek names. Don't let it confuse you though!
The concept is simple. You're playing the same notes of the major scale starting from a different note in the set. That's really all there is to it.
I think guitarists like to pretend modes are more than what they actually are. They're just the same intervals as the diatonic scale, just starting from a different interval.
Let's take the C scale.
C D E F G A B
Starting from...
C we get C Ionian (or also known as the C Major Scale)
D we get D Dorian
E we get E Phrygian
F we get F Lydian
G we get G Mixolydian
A we get A Aeolean (or also known as the A Minor Scale)
B we get B Locrian
Not actually that hard to understand after all right?
Playing modes on your electric guitar is as simple as that. Just start your major scale from different notes.
Now, there are 7 different scale shapes you can use to play all over the neck of your | | By: ATOMIC Guitarist | | |

It plans to make an electric luxury sedan, called the Whitestar, as well.Fisker first unveiled the Karma at the North American International Auto Show in January.

| Henley 18 Slipper Launch - Electric Power | | 2008-05-04 17:26:51 | |
This is a great looking "classic" styled yacht that incorporates some great, new technology. Powered by a Whisper XT electric motor and even incorporating a linear actuator for steering, its a study of old and new. The hull was built with a commercially available composite panel and then a traditional deck covering the top.
Make sure and watch the "time lapse" build video at the top... all-in-all a very interesting build.
The Henley 18 is a marriage of a classic English river launch design with state of the art composite construction and propulsion. She was launched in early November 2007 at Crescent Lake in Maine. The design is based on the Henley 18 designed by Paul Fisher BSc. AMRINA of Selway Fisher UK

| Hot News: BMW's Electric Car | | 2008-05-01 00:31:00 | | BMW is poised to give the go-ahead to a tiny Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) that will help to revolutionise city-centre driving. The rear-engined city car could be called Isetta and will first arrive in American showrooms in 2012. The project was created because of new Californian regulations (soon to be copied by 12 other US states) which require big car makers to sell between a few hundred and a few thousand ZEVs every year from 2012.

| Update on the Uno electric unicycle | | 2008-04-30 06:23:00 | | Last year, we showed you Canadian teen Ben Gulak's much-cooler interpretation of the Segway. Called the Uno, his 120 pound machine is capable of balancing itself and its rider using custom-programmed software and some gyros. When we last saw the contraption, it looked very much like the DIY machine that it is, but now the Uno appears in a much more finished state, complete with sporty bodywork in bright orange. There's also a website for the project, though not much is posted there as of yet.The Uno was created as a possible response to the pollution that our internal combustion engines emit as we drive. On a 2006 trip to China, Ben says that "The smog was so thick, we never saw the sun." Though most of the hard work was done by Ben himself, a few experts stepped in to provide a bit of assistance, and the end-result is reportedly very easy to ride. | | By: Car News | | |
