Despite the uproar over fuel prices in recent years, the amount of traffic on the road only ever increases. Apparently, people are pulling in their belts, tightening the purse strings and budgeting to within an inch of their lives in fear of the impending recession. Or at least this is what we are told and this is what new car manufacturers say is to blame for their lack of sales this year. However, this situation is not the same for the second hand car market. The one area that has benef... more...

"Human-Inter-what?" clipped Simon, peeking over his morning paper with a loud crinkle. A favorite farmer of seventy-eight years at my local coffee shop, Simon never failed to give me the truth precisely as he saw it. I had asked him what he thought of Human Machine Interface Technology. "Sounds like science fiction to me. Don't we already interact - interface, whatever - with machines? How else are we supposed to run the things?" I laughed, but in a down-to-earth,... more...

The water fuel cell is an invention by American Stanley Allen Meyer. He claimed that an automobile retrofitted with the device could use water as fuel instead of gasoline. The fuel cell purportedly split water i... more...

Along with the destruction of our environment through standard fuel cars, and the uprising on gas prices, hybrid cars have recently become very popular. This is because they are not as harmful to the environment due to the fact they run on both electricity and fuel, thus emitting less pollution. This also cuts the cost of gas down, resulting in saving money overtime. The description of a hybrid car is basically a combination of a gasoline engine and an electric motor, with the sole purpos... more...

You may have heard about it, and then wondered just how to run a car on water. Water is simple, available, and free, but will it really run a car? Yes, and no. No, you cannot run a car on water per se; you can't dump water into your gas tank and expect the car to do anything but sputter and choke off. But yes, you can use water to create HHO energy which can then be used to increase mileage and fuel your car with a type of safe hydrogen power. And, it is simple enough that you can build you... more...

Therefore, the demand for hybrid cars has gone on the rise because now that we are dealing with global warming and other environmental problems, we'd like to make ... more...

So you want to learn how to build electric cars. Well, you've come to the right place. I have successfully built my own electric car and have taught four of my friends how to build electric cars.

Every day the media shows scenes of tragic accidents. These accidents could have been avoided had the person known how to drive well and stay focused on the road. There are so many distractions that people give in to when they drive. They talk on their cell phones, apply make-up and even try to eat while driving. These are all factors that can lead to a devastating accident. But it does not have to be this way. If more people took defensive driving courses the roads would be a safer plac... more...

One of the things that I have been wanting to do for quite awhile now was learn how to build an electric car. I went online and found several different sets of plans.
