Overtone writes: Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are
currently attracting a great deal of attention.
Modified Toyota Prius automobiles often exceed 100 mpg. Some reach 150 mpg. City and town driving is done using electric
power. These cars need refueling with
gasoline only when driving long distances.
Hybrids such as the Prius are popular.
Moving toward substituting a Magnetic Power Module™, for the need to
plug-in, can be viewed as a logical next step.
A NASA news release (3-30-05) states: “zero point
energy,” a potentially bottomless sea of invisible, ultra-powerful
energy…in
the vacuum of space. Work involving the
science and technology relating to this new energy source has surfaced
in Germany, India, Japan, the U.K., Switzerland and Russia, as well as
the United States. Our company, Sebastopol, California, based Magnetic
Power Inc. (MPI), is one of several
developing technology that converts Zero Point Energy (ZPE) to
electricity. NASA data suggests that ZPE
can provide far more than 20 times the energy available from solar
energy, at
any point on earth, 24/7. ZPE is an
unlimited, renewable, as yet largely unrecognized, potential source of
electric
power.
A 1 Kw Magnetic Power Module, such
as MPI is developing as an early product, could eliminate the need to plug-in a
rechargeable hybrid. This would provide
all the advantages without the need to plug-in to the utility grid. The result will be the first step toward
driving automobiles, trucks and busses, without any need for gas or oil.
Based on current progress in our laboratories, a 1 Kw pre-production prototype for
a car could be completed by the end of 2006.
In a hybrid Prius, this would become the first example of the use of
this little known, potential source of electricity in an automotive power
system. Perhaps 50 miles of driving
would be fuel-free, with no need to plug-in.
The next step will be to replace
the engine in a hybrid, such as the Prius, with a more powerful Magnetic Power
Module, perhaps capable of producing 50 kW.
If development is accomplished using three shifts of engineers and
technicians, with work continuing around the clock, this can be expected to
produce a pre-manufacturing prototype in 2007.
Now we have a totally electric,
pollution free vehicle, requiring no plug-in recharge, with performance
matching that which was possible when gasoline was employed as a fuel.
The obvious final step is production
of higher power modules to replace the need for any engine, in any
vehicle. This revolutionary possibility
is now in sight. Prototypes should be on
the road in 2008. By 2010, auto
manufacturers could have these remarkable, fuel-free, systems in production
worldwide.
The implications are
obvious.
