150 MPG Extreme Hybrid SUV – 3D Animation
category: Fuel Economy
www.afstrinity.com This 3D animation with voiceover demonstrates how the XH-150 works when operated in all-electric mode. By storing energy in Ultracapacitors and using them to deliver the fast energy required for acceleration, the XH-150 is able to accelerate quickly, without stressing the Lithium Ion Batteries or causing resistive heating to occur. 150 miles per gallon SUV.

Muslim lender forces Christian to sell kidney
5 ‘armed men’ accompany debtor to hospital
A Pakistani Christian who borrowed money from his Muslim employer at 400 percent interest to send his daughter to college has been forced by the lender to sell a kidney to repay a portion of the debt
John Gill, a machine operator at Shah Plastics in the Youhanabad area of Lahore, Pakistan, was taken to Ganga Ram hospital by “five armed men” and forced to sell a kidney against his will.
@redghost105 the only thing though…
you cant just stop and fill it up with gas then keep travling
once you run out of battery you run out of battery…then spend a whole night charing it up
take all of this and put a lamborghini body or ferrari body and ill buy one
isn’t it bad for batteries to be half dis-charged then 3/4? then they never charge fully again…. good idea but might only last 1 to 3 years, however, the other parts would be useful in other hybrids or making a gas car a hybrid OR fully electric.
Jan of 08 with no updates, sounds like this thing died out. ?
Wouldn’t it be better to put to the regenerative breaking power directly to the batteries, because the ultra caps could already be fully charged by the battery.
battery capacity is indexed in terms of ampere*hour. so your method wont work.
… don’t we count in kwh? (kwh = V*I*3.6)
Don’t Forget it’d be even cheaper to Charge your Batteries on 220v.
Double the voltage Half the amps.
You pay for amps.
The grid can handle plenty of cars , they just need to be recharged at night.
In some areas, the utility companies will install a separate meter for a vehicle. In my area , the electricity is something around 5.5 cents per KWH.
These all hybrid technologies reminds me of Charlie Chaplin’s modern times.
Sign me up. Need any beta testers?
madvoit thinks that the electric grid would not be able to handle the recharging requirements but he forgets that car owners could charge their cars batteries with solar cells mounted on the garage roof or a electric generating windmill. The airbreeze windmill only costs $600.oo
to buy outright and produces 1000 watts/hour in a 28 mph wind,maybe 400 to 500 wts in a 12 mph breeze. afstrinity should mass produce the car because the auto co. never will. They want to keep us sucking up 4.50 gal gas.
afs_trinity might just as well go with their plan # two & produce the XH150 plug in extreme
hybrid themselves & forget about trying to license their technoligy to a car manufacturer. Car manufacturers just want to use the lack of
good batteries mithe as an excuse not to produce a plug in electric
Dear Madidiot,
Stoping a lie is best done with the truth, not a bunch of miss-information.
When it is over and they have destroyed our planet the rest of us will be able to say… NOTHING like we allways have and let your kind wipe out every last molecule of clean air and respect for this planet.
excellent
The small amount of energy reclaimed from regenerative braking isn’t as abusive to the battery pack as energy drawn during aggressive acceleration. The capacitors could simply transfer whatever energy exceeds its capacity directly to the batteries. Or they could just dump regenerative braking directly into the batteries and skip the capacitors altogether.
A 2007 Pacific National Laboratory study showed that more than 84% of all vehicles could plug in without the need for additional power plants. The reason is power plants have massive amounts of excess electricity available during night hours, and that’s when most of us would be charging. We wouldn’t need thousands of plants, just a few, and they could be build gradually. The DoE estimates that a nationwide switch would take ~20 years, so we would have at least that long to build up the grid.
This is false advertising and misleading. If you all cars in the US were converted to this system there would not be enough power plants in the US to generate the power needed. We would need to be building 1000′s of new power plants that would be run on coal, oil, or nuclear. When they say 150 MPG they do not take into account the fuel used to generate the power when you plug it in!!!!!

I think that AFS Trinity would rather license the technology to a car builder… and NOT sell their company outright.
excellent… can i get this put into a 2007 Yukon XL???

If oil is too expensive, then we are not able to produce anything. America worked when oil was cheap. I would imagine it’s just the opposite.
It’s a Saturn VUE hybrid converted by AFS to have much more battery capacity and an ultracap. If it looks good and works, there is a chance that GM buys AFS and brings this technology into the market.
think of a car that is purely electric….
….now add a small gas generator to charge the batteries.
our currency is based on oil. if oil is worthless, so are we.
