A Car to Save the Planet
Lightweight, multi-fuelled, safer, using regenerative braking October 12, 2007 - Traverse City, Michigan This Millennium’s Green Car
 Imagine a world with diminishing petroleum reserves, where more and more arable land is given to the production of fuels, where efficient transport is essential and where safety, as always is paramount. Design a car to suit these conditions, using entirely recyclable and domestically produced materials – that would be the car of the millennium and quite possibly all the millenniums to follow.
This Green Car uses a gas turbine, which can burn anything from hydrogen gas to coal dust, including all the agriculturally produced alcohols with no or few adjustments, in combination with a flywheel, both spinning at constant high RPM, and/or batteries. This incorporates regenerative braking, so that very little energy is lost when slowing the vehicle down, and lightweight 4-wheel drive with ABS, details available on request.
As you can see from the above, the green body is semi-rigid with a pointed, angled structure that allows 2 colliding vehicles, no matter what their angles of incidence, to “glance” and slide past each other, the front wings, in yellow, having a trigger in their bumpers to detach the wings and front suspension A-arms when in collision. The research that I have done, using radio controlled model cars, strongly suggests that this concept alone can save hundreds of thousands of lives every year!
