The Green Optimistic

If you watch The Green Optimistic you already know that we covered air cars in previous posts, both MDI CAT’s and the Angelo DiPietro air motor. The first time we wrote about these inventions was about 6 months ago. Now, MDI and Angelo DiPietro have contracts all over the world with auto makers to sell them the compressed air technology so automakers do what they do best: cars.

See who wins this astonishing race between a 500hp racing car and an electric car powered only by 7000 laptop batteries.

Remember Nanosolar? I wrote on article on them a few months ago, telling that they invented a light sensitive thin layer, that could be imprinted on various flexible surfaces and then used as solar batteries. They kept their word to it.

Joe Newman claims for a long time he has succeeded to make a free energy device by using magnets. A lot of people hate him, including high officials and oil company owners. See and decide for yourself if there’s a glimpse of truth in his claims, as presented in some TV documentaries.

The French have also a word to put up in the hybrid cars competition. Now they modified their beloved Peugeot 307 to meet today’s stringent hybrid cars standards.

Here’s a little tricky experiment that you can do on your own at home. It’s very simple to do, all you have to have is a solar battery (you can buy that cheaply from a scrap store), a bottle, a toy with wheels you don’t need anymore, and a little bit of super glue. It [...]

Here’s a short video of someone who modified his bicycle to go electric. He used a brushless motor and a pack of several Li-Ion batteries of 36V capable of 30A (about 1kW). You’ll, see, he uses two, four, six, or eight of these batteries. That’s 8kW = about 5hp. That’s more than a regular motoscooter [...]
