Absolute Power! Free Electricity

[iceminion]

actually, doing this in a DSM would kinda be pointless, they dont look THAT good. Also, the AWD transmission/drivetrain is heavy and pointless.

From what I understand, you can delete the transmission and attach 1 electric motor to each wheel via axle or direct link, have a generator (rotating magnet motor attached to a large alternator.

Voltzilla is the megasquirt of electric cars, you would need to use one of those to drive the electric motor(s)

I personally would wait until this technology is more refined, the real high-output generators have only been around for a couple months, let gas go up to $5/gal plus higher heating bills in the winter, and i think we are going to have lots of do-it-yourselfers building these over the next couple years.

+1 to saving the earth, and my wallet
