Did you see how Small the [ I am Guessing here.....] PEM conversion unit
was??????
If that was producing 10 H.P. , then it would not be too hard to imagine the Truck unit at maybe 8 times the size producing say 150 H.P.
Just enough for the SUV electric..................
I really hope it Takes off in a BIG way.!
For those that have looked at Electric cars......[ I have ]
The cost of Batteries is around the 6 THOUSAND dollar mark.
Here's a way to power an electric car with 4 thousand dollars less and 200 Kg
less Weight [ Not to Mention - which I will .... that your 6 thousand dollar investment
needs replacement every 5 years ].
Eager to hear more details........
Like :
- how long does the ?PEM? or water converter Last / how much maintenance.
- How much $ for the water converter.
- what batteries are required to run it.

I want one.

Oh and have you thought about how much Weight the Monster 454 ci
engine and Auto gearbox
are?
When its electric , there is So much stuff thats not needed any more.
And now with the chance of No Batteries [ or very few ] how light the drive train is?
You could still make a big Armour Plated vehicle and use Much less power to
accelerate it Quicker than the inefficient Petrol unit.
-
Just cause the first prototype is a small Tin Can does not mean the technology
is limited to that.
I am Excited.!!!!
I want to buy a Water converter to attach to a House Power Supply.....

" how much was your power bill this Month ? , - oh cost me one tank of Rain Water
and had to top up with $20 water tanker.....instead of $140..." ]
