Three of them traded in Suburbans and one a Crown Vic - so you know these were people who were used to some power in an automobile. But all of them are thrilled with both the performance and the comfort of their new hybrids. One of them told me they even received a significant decrease on their car insurance. Seems like a winning proposition all around! I work with several people who have switched to hybrids – two have the Civic, one has the Toyota Highlander and one has the Prius.

It will have 2 alternators and 2 hydraulic pumps running off the perimeter of this wheel. There will be many choices of fuels including hydrogen. The list will advance as new sources are reveled. The car has no transmission or differential. . . only torque converters in the two rear wheels giving a perfect power to drive ratio at all times. All braking energy is returned to the inertia flywheel. The two front wheels will be electric hubcap type motors eliminating a need for power steering and 4 wheel drive and regulating slip devises and automatic braking systems. The car can propel itself along the future monorails built over existing highways safely and securely with the gyro stable inertia wheel driving the vertical shaft. Commuting will be just more time on your laptop. It can be modified for a rotary wing and fly similar to a helicopter for those that qualify. The wingspan would be less than 20 ft and resemble a flying saucer. The cars body is made from a special polyurethane plastic with a 360 degree steel band protection bumper inside the plastic. Also the batteries are located along the sides and there is only one door in the rear. Your selected seating arrangement tray comes out for loading and convenience. The really big thing about this car when used in conjunction with like cars collision injury will be almost nonexistent.
