Kite Cars: Cool Wind, Light Vehicle Concept to Spark Creativity
The super “Wind Light Vehicle” kite powered concept car via Yanko Design, not only looks fun, it functions for three methods of locomotion.
The giant wing on the hood can swing and sail upright so the vehicle becomes like a windsurfing board, or it can become detached for some cool kite wind action. Then there’s an electric motor in each of the three tires, to keep things rolling.

I discovered this futuristic design reading Ten Strange Ways to Power Cars on Ecoble. This one is for the “hyper-imaginative future fliers.”
Designers Tsun-Ho Wang, Min-Gyu Jung & Sung-Je Do explain:
“While the functioning model of this fantastic machine is yet to be seen, flying about in kite-cars is rather Elf-futuristic. Perhaps a wookie-made skycar could be its selling platform? Keep crusin’.”

I believe converting a car to electricity is a great idea. It’s important to take a variety of sources in order to come up with best practice techniques. I would do a little more research on the author before buying the book. Changing to an electric car is a great way to save money and help the environment at the same time. In order to save even more money, consider making your home more efficient and changing electricity suppliers .Everything we can do to lower our bills can help us survive during difficult times, plus everything we can do to lower our usage can help our planet survive as well.
