THE GREEN CAR PROJECT:

1
THE GREEN CAR PROJECT

• TO ENGINEER A COMMUTER VEHICLE WITH MINIMAL
  IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT

2
DISADVANTAGES WITH THE CURRENT ELECTRIC CAR
TECHNOLOGY

• LIMITED RANGE BETWEEN BATTERY
• RE-CHARGES
• BATTERIES ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND MAY NEED
  REPLACING EVERY FIVE YEARS OR SO
• BATTERIES ARE VERY HEAVY
• LIGHTER BATTERIES ARE VERY VERY EXPENSIVE

3
DISADVANTAGES

• MAXIMUM TORQUE IS AT ZERO REVS AND DIMINISHES AS
  REVS INCREASE
• CAN TAKE ALONG TIME TO RECHARGE

4
ADVANTAGES OF THE ELECTRIC CAR

• VERY LOW ENGINE MAINTINANCE
• VERY QUIET
• NO POWER CONSUMED WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC
  (freeway car park)
• ZERO POLLUTION FROM EMISSIONS
• LOW CENTRE OF GRAVITY IF BATTERY PACK IS
  POSITIONED CORRECTLY

5
ELECTRIC ADVANTAGES

• HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE FUELED FROM CLEAN
  SUSTAINABLE ENERGY-BE IT SOLAR, WIND OR HYDROXY
  GAS POWERING A CHARGING GENERATOR
• SUITABLE TO BE RUN AS A HYBRID SYSTEM USING OTHER
  PRIME MOVER TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS HYDROSTATIC
  DRIVES ETC.

6
THE PROJECT?TO BUILD AN ELECTRIC CAR

• - WITH GREATLY INCREASED RANGE
• - WITH REDUCED BATTERY PACK
• - WITH AN ON-BOARD CHARGING MOTOR
• - WITH HYDROXY AND/OR OTHER FUEL
• INNOVATIONS USED FOR THE
  
• CHARGING ENGINE (THE CORNER STONE OF THE
  
• PROJECT)

7
AIMS OF THIS PROJECT

• TO DETERMINE THE PRACTICAL MINIMUM BATTERY
  REQUIREMENT FOR SUCH A VEHICLE AND COST
  ADVANTAGES OF THIS SYSTEM BALANCED WITH THE
  ATTAINABLE RANGE.
• TO DETERMINE THE MINIMUM SIZE ENGINE FOR BATTERY
  CHARGING.
• TO DEVELOP AND APPLY A RADICAL FUEL SYSTEM BE
  ITMEYER, GEET, ARCHIE BLUE etc.

8
AIMS OF THIS PROJECTcontd

• TO SHOW CASE THE DEVELOPMENT IN SUCH EVENTS AS
  THE GREEN FLEET, DARWIN TO ADELAIDE RACE IN 2009
  WHICH WILL OFFER MANY NET WORKING OPPORTUNITIES
  AND ESTABLISH CREDIBILITY IF INDEED WE
  DEMONSTRATE EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE

9
How can this project be achieved?

• BY FORMING A FOCUS DEVELOPMENT GROUP CONSISTING
  OF PEOPLE WITH THE APPROPRIATE SPECIALIST SKILLS
• BY THE DEDICATION AND COMMITMENT OF ASSOCIATION
  MEMBERS WHO WISH TO PARTICIPATE
• BY APPROPRIATE FUNDING OPTIONS.

10
THE PRIMARY FOCUS GROUP

• MEMBERS OF THE ASSOCIATION
• OUTSIDE EXPERTISE WITH SPECIALIST KNOWLEDGE AND
  SKILLS

11
THE PRIMARY FOCUS GROUP WOULD CONSIST OF

• VARIOUS FOLK WITH EXPERTISE IN HYDROXY GAS, PULSE
  CIRCUITRY DESIGN
• FOLK WITH GENERAL ENGINEERING AND AUTOMOTIVE
  EXPERTISE.
• A BROAD RANGE OF ENTHUSIATS WHO WANT TO BE
  INVOLVED.

12
FUNDING THIS PROJECT HAS BROAD OUTCOMES

• FUNDING WILL BE MORE EASILY OBTAINABLE FOR AN
  ELECTRIC CAR PROJECT. HOWEVER THE CORNER STONE OF
  THE PROJECT IS HOW THE CHARGING ENGINE IS FUELED
  AND INDEED THE CHARGER IT SELF. THIS IS WHAT WILL
  MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. SUCCESS IN THIS AREA WILL
  HAVE MANY OTHER APPLICATIONS SUCH AS

13
POSSIBLE SPIN OFF FROM THIS PROJECT

• STATIONARY GENERATORS CAPABLE OF POWERING A HOME
  OR SMALL INDUSTRY IN REMOTE LOCATIONS OR ANYWHERE
• IDEAL FOR MINING, PUMPING, ANY CONSTANT REV
  ENGINE APPLICATION
• EASILY DEVELOPED FOR BROADER APPLICATIONS SUCH AS
  TRANSPORT, HEAVY MACHINERY ETC.

14
FUNDING OPTIONS

• ONCE THE PROJECT IS THOUGHT THROUGH IN DETAIL AND
  THE FOCUS GROUP IS FORMED WE CAN THEN MOVE
  FOREWARD WITH APPLICATIONS FOR GRANT FUNDING OR
  SEEK PRIVATE SPONSORSHIPS.

THANKYOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION

• THE END!!!

• IS IT JUST THE BEGINNING????
