500 miles with a 5 minute charge

Business 2.0...Big Innovations: EEStor - Sep. 18, 2006

I am sure that you can now tell that I am often attracted to stories that will help drive technology in the future, therefore this one has got my attention!

It described a new type of electric engine currently in development that, if proved successful, will power a family car for 500 miles on a charge lasting 5 minutes. Unfortunately it will mean longer queues at the 'fuel' station, but at least you will not have to 'fill up' so often!

Unless.... you can plug it into the mains at home...hmmmmm!

I really think that without this sort of inventiveness the world will grind to a halt. Should this engine take off it will dramatically reduce the need for petrol in everyday life, thus redirecting the supply into producing cleaner, more efficient power. I really hope that this engine does hit the big time as it will be the start of a new technological revolution....!

Another witter over!

Till next time,

Vis.
