GSXRAntwon Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Ashlands Pliogrip® adhesive is a key component in the SOLO, a composites-intensive hybrid-electric vehicle announced last month by Velozzi Inc., a Los Angeles automaker. "The Velozzi SOLO will be the first production car in the world to use a multi-fuel micro-turbine battery charger to recharge its bed of super capacitors and lithium-ion batteries. The vehicles are powered by a combination of lithium-ion batteries and super capacitors, which in turn, are recharged by an on-board multi -fuel micro-turbine battery charger, or by the electrical grid. Some of the fuels that can be used by the Velozzi include gasoline, diesel, ethanol, methanol, butanol, biodiesel and natural gas. The vehicle will also have the ability to reverse its polarity and serve as a power generator, able to power equipment and even a home if necessary. Regenerative braking will capture kinetic energy when slowing the vehicles improving its range. The SOLO will reach 100 mpg and offers a top speed of 130 mph." Pretty neat technology in this little SUV: http://www.compositesworld.com/news/velozzi-unveils-composites-intensive-hybrid-electric.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limitedslip7 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 I was wondering how long it would take for someone to make a gas turbine powered hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
