Guest 1930 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Here is a website showing a 72 Datsun spank a new vette, it is really amazing to watch. It was sent to me by another member here, not sure why he did not just post it here so I hope he does not get mad at me for doing so. www.opb.org/programs/ofg/videos/view/56-Electric-Drag-Racing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Quite impressive, I've heard of Kilo-cycle before. There's been several electric cars built for Bonneville too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 There was a yellow Model A Ford at a show in San Diego that was set up the same way as the Datsun. It, too was very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Well one thing for sure is that these guys have more money than I do. I dont want to guess what those batteries cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John1918 Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 Apart from the motor and batteries a key ingredient for a sucessful electric car is the switch which regulates the power from the batteries to vary the speed without wasting battery power in the form of heat. It must be very efficient with low voltage drop across the semiconductor switch while passing hundreds or thousands of amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
