These guys have the answer to the layman electric car:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcqeQFgPs5oThey made an electric Jeep that uses 20, 6v golf cart batteries.
Then, they keep the batteries charged, while driving, with a 17500 watt generator that uses 90% hydrogen / 10% gasoline.
They claim the generator efficiency goes up 300% using the 90% hydrogen.
The electric Jeep normally gets 50 miles per charge, but with the hybrid generator attached, the Jeep can go 1200 miles using ten gallons of gasoline.
This is exciting stuff !!!
These guys are selling these systems NOW !
They will also convert ANY generator you 'drop ship' to them to the hybrid hydrogen system for $1500 -- so long as the generator can output at least 30 amps to jump start the hydrogen system.
I found 'many' brand new 10000 watt generators for around $800 (search google shopping)
Now, I found that many people are easily converting their gas cars to electric at this website:
http://www.evalbum.com/Here is a question for smarter people than me:
Why did the guys who made the electric Jeep put batteries in the Jeep?
This adds expense and extra weight to the Jeep.
If the generator is keeping the 20 golf cart batteries topped off with charge all the time, then the Jeep's electric motor must be using somewhere around 15000-17000 watts power when running. (small electric cars use around 5000-10000 watts)
Why not just use the generator to directly power the Jeep?
Is there a reason why they keep the batteries?
Diesel electric Train engines are setup this way, without batteries. So how is the Train industry doing it?
