Eliica, the eight wheeled electric car of Hiroshi Shimizu

Eliica shown at Intex Osaka

The Eliica (or the Electric Lithium-Ion Car) is a battery electric vehicle prototype, or concept car designed by a team at Keio University in Tokyo, led by Professor Hiroshi Shimizu. The 5.1 m (17 ft) car runs on a lithium-ion battery and can accelerate from 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in four seconds (faster than the Porsche 911 Turbo at the time).^[1] In 2004, the Eliica reached a speed of 370 km/h (230 mph) on Italy's Nardò High Speed Track. The team's goal is to exceed 400 km/h (250 mph), breaking the record set by today's street-legal gasoline-powered vehicles.

Build your Own Electric Car

How can I build an Electric Car?

The one EV car I currently have (have 2 vehicles that run on hydrogen also) I converted from a vw bug and is free to charge. As I live completely off the grid all my electricity comes from solar panels and 2 wind generators, which I also built.

However I did charge up at Costco in Carlsbad California (I actually only drove up there to fill up) if I remember right it was around $2.00

Not sure if you’re interesting in doing it yourself, but I’d be willing to walk you step by step threw the conversion. I've converted 3 of my own cars (a datsun truck, ford ban, and a vw bug) and a few for neighbors. I've also converted cars to run on hydrogen, ethanol and biodiesel, by far EV is the easiest.

If you’re interested here’s what it would entitle…

- The engine compartment is first cleaned out of any gasoline components.
- Electric components are then installed in exchange.
- A battery bank is built and incorporated.
- Existing starter and driving systems are connected.
- Turn the key, step on the gas pedal sending more energy to the electric motor, & thus more power to the drive system, which in return creates more speed, more acceleration.
- The system has normal automotive top speeds and acceleration, typical to the vehicle your modifying. If your top speed was 85 mph and your acceleration was 1 mile per min, then this will be what your left with after the conversion.

The methods are extremely simple, making the process possible for anyone, everyone, ANYWHERE.

Typical tools, hardware & supplies are used, making access to parts available for all.

Electric Conversions can be easily accomplished in ANY model vehicle, even tractors, Generators, types of machinery, etc.

Project lengths range from 1 day to 1 month.
If you’re interested I wrote a guide on it which is available at www agua-luna com

My last EV conversion ran me about $1400. Everything is available online. I have a how to do it yourself guide available at www agua-luna com that will walk you step by step through the process. If you have ANY questions feel free to contact me through the site. Here’s a list of what you'd need...

Advanced DC Motor
The motor is an 8" Advanced DC series-wound motor. It weighs 107 pounds and is rated at 68 peak horsepower. These motors are available in several sizes.

Adaptor plate
The adaptor plate mates the motor to the transmission. It is constructed of 1/2 inch aluminum and is pre-drilled with bolt hole patterns for both the motor and transmission. An aluminum spacer is also used for proper spacing between the shafts of the transmission and motor. Adaptor plates are available for many cars.

DC Motor Controller
The controller regulates current going to the motor. It is a solid-state device that uses a pulse width modulator (PWM) that sends short bursts of current to the motor at a rate of 15 kHz. Controllers are available from both Curtis and DCP.

Potbox (Potentiometer)
The potbox is a 5K ohm throttle between the controller and the accelerator, similar to the way a sewing machine pedal works. The potbox's lever arm is attached to the existing accelerator cable.

Main Contactor
An electric relay that serves the same purpose as the ignition switch in a gas car. When the key is turned to the start position, the contactor closes the circuit to allow current to flow to the controller.

Circuit Breaker
A safety device that shuts down power for servicing or during an emergency. The circuit breaker is installed under the hood and can be switched both off and on from the drivers seat with an extension or cable.

Main Fuse
The main fuse protect the system from high voltage spikes. A fuse should be installed at each battery box or group of batteries.

Shunt
A shunt is placed in series within the wiring as a means to connect meters. Shunts are available in different sizes for both high and low power configurations.

Charger interlock
A relay that keeps the circuit open so nobody will inadvertantly drive off with the charge cord plugged into the car.

DC/DC Converter
The DC/DC converter is similar in function to a gas car's alternator. It charges the 12 volt accessory battery by chopping voltage from the main battery pack down to 13.5 volts.

If you interested I offer several DIY alternative guides to walk you step by step threw EV conversion process at agua-luna com or

www agua-luna com
Hope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at www agua-luna com on the subject. I also offer online and on-site workshops, seminars and internships to help others help the environment.

Build your Own Electric Car

Home handyman Gavin Shoebridge has made his own electric car from parts that he has fitted into an old 1987 Mitsubishi Tredia.

12 Deep cycle batteries, an electric motor and some electronic bits and bobs - a little bit of research - he now has a car that can cruise around without the need to fill up at the gas station.

He was getting sick of paying $50 for gas every week.

Good on ya Gav - we expect more people to do similar.

Atoms

Atoms

Everything is made from atoms, including you. Atoms are tiny. They are too small to see, even with a microscope.

There are over a hundred different types of atoms.

Energy - Source of energy and Gases, liquids and solids

The study of energy begins with the source of energy. Energy is the product of movement and law. Nothing exists without it. It can not be found "below", in the simplest forms of life, or far away on distant planets or stars. It can not be found. It finds you because it created you. It's source is the Triune GOD. Energy comes from above and outside of time. God moved. When He moved so many things happened!

The glory of God is light. His light is a creative law order. He moved, His light came and that is the source of all energy!

God's energy, glory and law order produced heaven and earth. Matter was created. Matter can be a gas, liquid or solid. But always remember that God is the "Source" and the "heavy weight". He is the energy that created and defined the weight of matter and everything else.

With that said let's start today's lesson:

Atom

• Atoms are believed to be the smallest unit of an element
  
• Atoms move
• Atoms produce a magnetic field
• Atoms have potential energy
• Atoms are found in different states of matter (gases, liquids, solids)

1.Gases

• Gases can be seen or unseen
• Gases can have an odor or be odorless
  
• Gases move and do not keep their shape. They spread out and change their shape and volume to fill up whatever container they are in.
• Gases can be squashed.
• Heating a liquid can turn it into a gas.
• Cooling a gas can turn it into a liquid.
  
  Examples of gases

air is full of atoms.

Helium gas atoms make balloons float.

2. Liquids

• Liquids move and are fluid and can be poured easily. They are not easy to hold.
• Liquids change their shape depending on the container they are in.
• Even when liquids change their shape, they always take up the same amount of space. Their volume stays the same.
• Heating a liquid can turn it into a gas.
• Cooling a liquid can turn it into a solid.
• Heating a solid can turn it into a liquid.
• Cooling a gas can turn it into a liquid.

Examples of liquids

3. Solids

• The atoms or molecules that compose the solid are packed closely together. They still are moving.
  
• Solids stay in one place and can be held.
• Solids maintains a fixed volume and shape. They do not flow like liquids. They do not spread out like gases.
• Solids can be cut or shaped.
• Solids have thermal energy, their atoms vibrate. However, this movement is very small, and cannot be observed or felt under ordinary conditions.
• Heating some solids can turn them into liquids.
• Cooling a liquid can turn it into a solid.

Examples of solids

grains of salt and logs of wood

Energy - Source of energy and Characteristics of materials

The study of energy begins with the source of energy. Energy is the product of movement and law. Nothing exists without it. It can not be found "below", in the simplest forms of life, or far away on distant planets or stars. It can not be found. It finds you because it created you. It's source is the Triune GOD. Energy comes from above and outside of time. God moved. The glory of God is light. His light is a creative law order. He moved, His light came and that is the source of all energy!

God's energy, glory and law order produced heaven and earth. Matter and measures were created. Matter has different "measures". But always remember that God is the "Source" and the "heavy weight". He is the energy that created and defined the "measure" of matter and everything else.

With that said let's start today's lessons found at BBC Schools:

1. Material properties

Materials have different properties that make them useful for different jobs. Here are some properties that materials have.

• Transparent or opaque
  Transparent materials do let light through (you can see through them). Opaque materials do not let any light through (you cannot see through them).

• Waterproof
  Waterproof materials do not let water through and do not soak up water.

• Strong
  Strong materials are very difficult to break.

• Flexible
  Flexible materials are easy to bend.

• Hard
  Hard materials are difficult to scratch.

• Magnetic
  Magnetic materials are attracted to magnets.

• Conductors
  Some materials are good conductors of heat. This means heat can travel through them easily. Some materials are good conductors of electricity. This means electricity can travel through them easily.

2. Metals

• Metals come from rocks called ores.
• They are strong, hard and shiny materials that can be hammered into different shapes without breaking.
• Many metals are good conductors of heat and electricity.
• Some metals are magnetic. Iron is the most magnetic metal. Steel is also magnetic because it is made of mostly iron.
• Their properties make them useful for objects such as cutlery, saucepans, cars and coins.

3. Plastics

• Plastics are materials that are not found naturally but are made from chemicals.
• They are strong and waterproof, and can be made into any shape or colour. Many plastics can be made transparent.
• They are not magnetic and do not conduct heat or electricity.
• Plastics are used to make all sorts of things such as plastic bags, plastic bottles and toys.

4. Glass

• Glass is made by melting sand.
• It is normally transparent and can be made into many different shapes.
• Thick glass can be strong, but thin glass will break very easily.
• Glass is used for objects that need to be transparent such as windows and spectacles.

5. Wood

• Wood comes from trees.
• It is strong, flexible and long lasting.
• Wood is used to make things such as furniture that need to be strong and last a long time.

6. Fabrics

• Fabrics are made from thin fibres woven together.
• Some fabrics, such as wool, cotton and silk, are natural (the fibres come from living things). Some fabrics, such as polyester and nylons are made from synthetic fibres, which are made in factories, from chemicals.
• Different fabrics have different properties. Fabrics can be stretchy (a pair of tights), insulating (keep you warm, like a woollen coat) or absorbent (a towel).
• Fabrics are used to make clothes as they are flexible and comfortable, can be warm and do not wear out easily.

Energy - Source of energy and Measures

The study of energy begins with the source of energy. Energy is the product of movement and law. Nothing exists without it.

With that said let's start today's lessons found at BBC Schools:

1. Measuring length

• Length is a measure of how long or wide something is.
  Rulers and tape measures can be used to measure length.
• Length is measured in millimetres (mm), centimetres (cm),
  metres (m) or kilometres (km). These are known as
  metric units of length.
  1 cm = 10 mm
  1 m = 100 cm
  1 km = 1000 m
• Estimating length
  1 cm is about the width of a staple
  1 m is about the width of a single bed
• Miles, feet and inches are old units of length. These are
  known as imperial units of length but are not now
  commonly used in maths.
  There are 12 inches in a foot.
  An inch is roughly equal to 2.5 centimetres.
  A foot is roughly equal to 30 centimetres.
  A mile is roughly equal to 1.5 kilometres.

2. Measuring mass

• Mass is a measure of how heavy something is. Scales can
  be used to measure mass.
• Mass is measured in grams (g), kilograms (kg)
  and tonnes. These are known as metric units of mass.
  1 kg = 1000 g
  1 tonne = 1000 kg
• Estimating mass
  100g is about the mass of a small apple.
  1 kg is the mass of a bag of sugar or a litre of water.
• Ounces and pounds are old units of mass. These are
  known as imperial units but are not now commonly used in maths.
  There are 16 ounces in a pound.
  An ounce is roughly equal to 25 grams.
  A pound (454g) is equal to just under half a kilogram (500 g).s

3. Measuring capacity

• Capacity or volume is a measure of how much space
  something takes up. Measuring spoons or measuring
  jugs can be used to measure capacity.
• Capacity is measured in millilitres (ml) and litres (l).
  1 l = 1000 ml
• Estimating capacity
  5 ml is about the capacity of a teaspoon.
  1 l is about the capacity of a large carton of fruit juice.
• Pints and gallons are old units of capacity (imperial units).
  There are 8 pints in a gallon.
  A pint is equal to just over half a litre.
  A gallon is roughly equal to 4.5 litres.

4. Reading scales

To read a scale, first work out how much each mark or division
on the scale represents.

5. 12-hour and 24-hour time

• am is morning time (all times between 12 midnight and
  12 midday).
• pm is afternoon and evening time (all times between 12
  midday and 12 midnight).
• This is an analogue or a 12-hour clock. An analogue clock
  is one with a face and hands. It is showing the time
  twenty past five.
  
  If it were twenty past five in the morning, it would
  be written as 5:20 am.
  If it were twenty past five in the afternoon, it would
  be written as 5:20 pm.
• These are digital or 24-hour clocks. They are also
  showing the times twenty past five.
  
• The 24-hour time is the same as the analogue time in the
  morning (except for the 0 at the beginning for numbers
  under 10). So 8:45 am becomes 08:45.
• But in the afternoon, you need to add 12 to convert an
  analogue time to a 24-hour time. So 8.45 pm
  becomes 20.45.
• Midday on a 24-hour clock is shown as 12:00.
• Midnight on a 24-hour clock is shown as 00:00.

6. Units of time

• 1 minute = 60 seconds
• 1 hour = 60 minutes
• 1 day = 24 hours
• 1 week = 7 days
• 1 fortnight = 14 days
• 1 year = 12 months = 52 weeks = 365 days
• 1 leap year = 366 days
• Remember "30 days has September, April, June and
  November. All the rest have 31. Except for February
  alone, which has 28 days clear but 29 each leap year."

With that said let's start today's lessons found at BBC Schools:

Changing State:

1. States of matter

• Nearly everything exists as solids, liquids or gases. Solids, liquids and gases are called the three states of matter.
• Materials can be changed from one state to another by heating or cooling.
• If ice (solid) is heated, it changes to water (liquid). This change is called melting.
• If water (liquid) is heated, it changes to water vapour (gas). This change is called evaporation.
• If water vapour (gas) is cooled, it changes to water (liquid). This change is called condensing.
• If water (liquid) is cooled, it changes to ice (solid). This change is called freezing.

2. The water cycle

Water on the earth is constantly moving. It is recycled over and over again. This recycling process is called the water cycle.

a. Water evaporates into the air
The sun heats up water on land, and in rivers, lakes and seas and turns it into water vapour. The water vapour rises into the air.

b. Water vapour condenses into clouds
Water vapour in the air cools down and changes back into tiny drops of liquid water, forming clouds.

c. Water falls as rain
The clouds get heavy and water falls back to the earth in the form of rain or snow.

d. Water returns to the sea
Rain water runs over the land and collects in lakes or rivers, which take it back to the sea. The cycle starts all over again.
