- MIT has been working on using carbon nanotubes to create capacitors that are, essentially, super batteries. And, no, they aren’t using M&Ms, this is just a model to illustrate the concept.
- Make Magazine has contracted with MakingThings to create a new, relatively low cost controller kit. Looks like a nice design.
- Ran across the AC FluxDrive on the EVAlbum the other day in Bob’s Electric Minivan.
- Maybe if you hurry and get a job at the Bank of America you can get in on their new hybrid incentive program?
I visited your site today to post about the MIT battery, but it seems that you beat me to it. You are on the ball! Anyway, here’s Inq’s take on it:

Jerry:
I have taken out that electric driven shoulder strap on my Festiva, as you did on your Probe. I will be interested in your solution to a new restraint mechanism as it is required here in Washington.
Hi Rob, thanks for the link. I was kind of hoping it would be a high powered battery AND an M&M dispenser!
Howdy Mike, I have a set of shoulder straps removed from Atom that might just do the trick for Eve. We shall see.
Hey Jerry you were right the cost is a bit Hi.
“NCP 55 price is $4000 ea.

Hi Rob,
I am starting a conversion of a slightly newer version of the Ford Probe(1995). Thanks for all your documentation but about suspension, how are you going to support the frt and rear axils? I thought some kind of air bag system like the low riders in L.A. use would work. What is your thoughts?
