Future Cars and Technologies
Cruising down the road American have come to love the automobile and what it stands for. But what will our future cars look like? Some advanced thinkers and concept car creators are envisioning bio-diesel-electric cars with large body capacitors built out of space age materials. You are saying WOW; tell me more. Okay they plan on using four wheel drive where each wheel has an electric motor, like the Diesel Audi Sports Cars that the Germans drive at 150 mph on the autobahn. They are thinking of strong bodies made of things like carbon nanotube construction. Even a Hurricane like Katrina, Rita or Wilma could not hurt them or you inside. The windshields would be made of composite construction using these same materials, which would be 50 times lighter than steel and stronger or harder than diamonds. Indeed this material now exists. Meaning in a decade or more you will be driving one.
We will be manufacturing future cars with all this and more, cars, which do self-diagnosis, self-driving and even fly when needed. And can you say 250 mph gallon fuel efficiency? But we are talking a different type of fuel. Yes you could go for that, but what is the price? Don’t worry they will be as or more affordable than our current gas-guzzlers. Engineers and concept future car designers know that light-weight is the key to re-designing the automobile for efficiency and economy, either way. Composites, Alloy mixes, carbon nanotubes and even Aluminum Oxynitride will be used in future cars. Haven’t heard of some of these new materials? Don’t worry you will soon. Would you like to learn more about future car topics?

Degenerative Braking Considerations
Degenerative Braking systems for Hybrid Cars are quite unique indeed and that is a really good use of kinetic energy, considering if you do not make energy with it, it is wasted. Just like when you step on the gas you use energy to propel you, when you step on the brake pedal you take away energy. But where does it go? Well the energy turns into heat, noise (squeaking) and wear on your brake pads.
Shouldn’t all cars and trucks have degenerative braking systems to charge up an additional set of batteries on the car to power up other systems? Sure this makes sense and if the electrical system was a high power than the normal 12 volt systems then the batteries could run other things on the car and improve fuel mileage by not over taxing the reciprocating engine with all sorts of other extra stuff on the car.
