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.
We, as the crystal-petters will gladly tell you, are surrounded by energy. I’m not talking about any kind of spiritual “soul” energy, here – but electromagnetic energy bouncing between cell phones, radio towers, GPS systems, wi-fi hotspots, and more. Great gobs of electrical potential just “hanging out”, wasted … but no more. A group of [...]
German designer Sebastian Toddenroth has created the amphibious and agile Volkswagen Rescue Rover concept in a stunning lime green in order to improve lifeguard/ocean relations.
Work is back on at Nissan’s Leaf construction complex located on Smyrna Tennessee. Construction of the complex had been interrupted due the March 11th quake in Japan, but work has resumed and currently teams are working around the clock to have the complex open and ready to manufacture by late 2012.
GPS systems have come a long way. “3D” views, slim systems, traffic alerts, blue tooth, and voice commands—what is next? The answer is Pioneer’s AVIC-ZHO9-MEV.
After watching Charge, I wanted to meet the man who had brought the MotoCzsys e1pc to victory in 2010 and second place (only behind Czysz’s newer model) in 2011. Mark Miller made his start in AMA Superbike racing, and made his Isle of Man TT debut in 2006, placing 11th and completing a 125+ mph lap in his first year. The lap record for Isle of Man in the senior category (all 1,000cc motorcycles) is 131mph average speed over the 38 mile course. This is a race that only the best of the best are invited to compete in, as it can turn formidable men into shivering boys.
With all the hype and drama surrounding Carmaggedon, it was difficult not to compare it to Y2K. There were peaceful protests, most notably by RailLA, our local high-speed rail advocacy group. RailLA exercised their right to free-speech by enlisting volunteers to hold their “LA Beyond Cars” banner aloft at a busy intersection near the 405. What’s truly appalling is that for $1billion all we’re getting is a few more miles of carpool lane along the 405.
Remember those years before 2008, when all the cool kids drove around in jacked-up 4×4 Hummers? The boys at British luxury brand Bentley sure do, and (in the spirit of sincere, environmental responsibility) they’ve confirmed to Auto Motor und Sport that they’re cooking up a new, massively expensive, 3 ton (!) SUV. Why, you ask? [...]
