CAPSTONE CMT380 BLACKBIRD TURBINE HYBRID ELECTRIC CAR MAKERS FAIRE SAN MATEO 2010
August 30, 2010 by admin
Filed under Hybrid Cars
Capstone’s CMT-380 hybrid supercar does 150MPH with batteries and a jet engine The one shown in the video was filmed by me (wshsbro) at The Makers Faire in San Mateo California on 05-23-2010. A 30kw Turbine in a FFR GTM Chassis with 24kwh of LiPoly batteries and a 230hp electric drive train. The result goes 85 miles as a plug-in electric or 500 miles as a diesel electric hybrid. Step aside, Tesla — we’ve just spotted the hottest Earth-lovin’ supercar since the Lightning GT. The Capstone CMT-380 prototype is an automotive beast unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Rather than mixing batteries and a conventional engine, this whip combines the former with a diesel / biodiesel-powered microturbine, which is — for all intents and purposes — a jet engine. Reportedly, the car can reach 60MPH from a standstill in just 3.9 seconds, hit 150MPH before being cut off by the electronic limiter, cruise 80 miles on battery power alone and drive from Idaho Falls to Spokane on just a single tank of fuel. It’s being bruited about that the company is considering flipping this bad boy into the production line, but with an estimated asking price north of $200000, there’s sufficient evidence to think that the volume here would remain relatively low. Hit up Autoblog Green’s gallery of shots from the show floor below, but only if you love peering at high-resolution images of stealthy, sexy things. For more information: www.capstoneturbine.com

Diy Green Energy Guides – Choosing The Right Solar Panel Or Wind Turbine Website

“Going Green” is on just about everyone’s mind now days. Many of us have jumped on board and are doing everything we can to help the revolution. Many have started the boarding process and are doing a little at a time and others are just starting out. No matter which step you are at, the key to success is doing your research. As most of us have heard before “knowledge is power.” And in the case of “going green” we are literally talking about power, or at least the amount of it we use and where we get it from.
The internet is absolutely bombarded with companies and advertisements concerning the green revolution. Many of these companies are very legitimate and are truly taking steps to help mother earth, while others are simply trying to capitalize on the movement. You can literally find hundreds or thousands of “green” products out there for sale, everything from rain collection barrels to solar lighting for your walkway. In this article we are going to discuss do-it-yourself solar panels and wind turbines. Due to a few advances in the industry over the past few years it has become very inexpensive to actually build your own systems and literally power your complete home from these systems, in effect never having to pay the power companies again. Because of these advances and the ability to build inexpensive systems there has been a boom of internet websites promoting the practice.
These “Green Energy” websites are capitalizing on the green diy movement by offering books or guides that teach individuals how to build these power systems themselves. Most advertise that you can build your own solar panel or wind turbine for under $200. If you perform a Google search for “diy solar panels” or even just “solar panels” alone, you will find hundreds of sites offering these guides. So many in fact that it becomes overwhelming to weed through them. We are about to give you some pointers as to how to choose the right ones.
We literally scanned and read through dozens of these green energy websites. What we found was that most of them are offering the same information just packaged in different brightly colored packages. All of the websites sell what is known as an eBook. This is an electronic book that you download from their website, usually in .pdf format. There are a few things you should look at when evaluating which of these sites to trust and possibly purchase your guide from.
- First and probably most important is to look at their Money Back offer. Do they offer a truly risk-free guarantee? Make sure you read the fine print to ensure there isn’t a catch.
- Second, do you get other items as well as your diy guide? Most offer tax savings info, parts guides and other bonus information.
- Next, do you get to download the information directly after you make your purchase, or do you have to wait for someone to respond to you?
- Try out their customer service. Send them an email to ask a question and see how long it takes to get a reply.
- Does the site look like a copy of all the other sites you’ve seen, or does it look original?
- Do their videos appear professionally made, clear and can you hear the audio well?
These are just a few of the items you can use to verify the validity of the sites you are looking at. One review site that exist out there is MySolarReview.com which has taken most of the guess work out of the equation for you by providing reviews of 6 of the top DIY Green Energy sites.
Simply make sure you do a little research before you decide which DIY website to purchase your guide from.? Make sure the one you choose will provide you with as much info as possilbe for your money.? There are several review sites out there to help with your decision.
Urban Green Energy 4 kW -Vertical Axis Wind Turbine

This is a new 4 kw vertical axis wind turbine from Urban Green Energy. It has a low start up speed with a fairly large swept area. This one is on the ground which demonstrates the use of this as a possibility for a mobile generator.

ok how about this when you use a wind turbine in a car that is a hybride car or hydrogen car and add some solar panels to add power
ok use electric car and use a wind turbine to keep energy with in the cars engine and store energy from the wind turbine in batteries to power the augselery things for the car.
Why not a turbine powered hybrid car similar to an aircraft APU?
March 19, 2010 by admin
Filed under Hybrid Cars
Ok so with all of the inefficiencies of the reciprocating internal combustion engine why don’t they make a hybrid car powered by a small centrifugal turbine that would work like an aircraft APU. The car would have an all electric drive system and the turbine would produce electricity for the electric motor. The FADEC computer would control fuel flow to the turbine as more power was needed. Trains have been doing this for decades so why not cars? A plus would be that you could use any liquid or flammable gas for fuel.
Ok you missed the piont it is an electric car not driven directly by the turbine but buy the electricity produced by a generator connected to the turbine
A single stage centrifugal flow turbine could be machined from a single piece of metal using computerized tools so it would be less complicated to manufacture than an internal combustion engine
I would not consider using and actual aircraft APU I was thinking of something about the size of a turbocharger or maybe a little larger but similar in function to an APU
Get the car moving using battery power then use ram air to help spin up the turbine
