@TrampaOnline: No, having it look like an EV-1 is the point. The EV-1 was an aero wet dream, and so is this. Not as aero-cool as a Corvette, but still aero-neat at least.

Stupid double post.

I heart aerodynamics...

Now THAT has enough torque!

FYI, this does not work on Corvette's.

@VetteWrecker: Have another shut the hell up, idiot.

It'll be funny to see what happens when he takes parts off Mrs. Hennessey's car and sells them without telling her...

@jodark: As a relatively young and vibrant Corvette owner, I both resent and respect the validity of your comment...

Raise your hand if there's no way in hell you'll buy one of these cheaply made death traps!

A collective sigh of not caring was heard the world over...

Looks good. Wonder how the hybrid is going to work. Oh, wait, I just remembered that I don't care. Nevermind, I'm going to go hunt hybrids in my 'Vette.

@Hedy Lamarr, a stoat: It's sensible, for the most part. Thankfully, though, we do know the energy losses. Well, if we knew the construction of the system, it's pretty simple math to calculate the losses. Very well understood, as I said, so the guys who built it know what it'll cost. I bet the power companies…

@patman: So what you're saying is make cars run like mag-lev trains? BRILLIANT!

@mytdawg: The E field should be relatively well contained in the coils, but it's using the B field as the transfer mechanism. So if you have a pacemaker or any steel in your legs, pardon the pun, run away!

@SkyHawkMkIV: It's exactly the same as the power mat, just higher power with a bigger B field.

@Hedy Lamarr, a stoat: Very little. Inductive charging isn't as efficient as plugging in. It uses electricity to create a magnetic field, then uses the magnetic field to "transfer" the electricity. But as with anything, there is loss; in heat generated, gap resistance, etc. So it's more efficient in terms of…

Daaaaaaaaammmmmmnnnnnnn!!!!!

So the Enzo is the new Fiero for kit cars, huh? Cool.

Can I get a "HELL YEAH!"?

@Syrax: Respect!
