Comments on: Revolutionary Wheel for Electric Cars Puts Guts Inside Wheel http://gas2.org/2008/12/05/revolutionary-wheel-for-electric-cars-puts-guts-inside-wheel/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

Especially if you have front wheel drive. Your two rear wheels could be electrically driven independantly or just one rear drive wheel, hooked up to a simple high capacity rechargeable battery, for just around town stuff, or sitting in traffic, creeping along at 10mph. That's where hybrids make their gains. This should be marketed similiar to how the hub motors are for bicycles. It would be revolutionary.

Maintenance nightmare with both technologies together, half way to nowhere. Better mileage but at what cost? Straight EV, simple, no pollution, very low maintenance, quite, charge at home without side trips, instant go at any temp. What could be better?

Get real. Regular autos suffer catastrophic failures of the 4th kind. High RPM large parts failing and sending pieces flying like pistons, transmission parts, drive shaft parts etc, exploding gas and/or high pressure fuel cell tanks. No comparison whatever! Honestly… just say anything as long as it’s ignorant and negative! Fuel cell is no answer. It is very explosive, high pressure and must be dispensed by...gas stations. We go from gas to Hydrogen, still polluting, just less, and still a monopoly requiring big consumer costs and stopping at stations etc. Coal power? I am in the west and little is used here. Its all nuclear, wind, solar, hydro, thermo, and all are totally free of contaminates and on the rise countrywide. Modern coal plants are much lower than old, but compared to a major polluter engine in every car, it is still a 10th the pollution we have on the roads now, if all were electric cars and all power was coal plants, it would still be 10 times less polluting than individual motors in every car. Electric power is it. The current problem is the storage. Only two choices look good right now. Altairnano and Eestor. Eestor is best by far and if they succeed it has a good shot at electric motors taking over all power plants in boats, cars, ATV's commercial trucks etc, even most aircraft. The prospects of that capacitor are monumental, if not Eestor, someone else will make it but batteries just don't cut it. We need 10 fold improvement that is not using toxic, potentially unstable, rare or expensive exotic materials like lithium, and that don't need recycled or have temperature restrictions etc. It is on the horizon, and by 2012 we should see it all working with the sky the limit then.

Well it will make the power last longer while speeding up the car. just an idea I had like How are body works compaired to a robot!

Motor seizing??? What a brainless comment. Why would an electric wheel motor seize? the ONLY friction generated is from the wheel bearing and how often do they fail? There's less friction in a wheel motor than in a friction brake system. If you're looking for super high amounts of friction look no further than the ICE and entire drivetrain.
