In the beginning...

Like many beginnings, this project began as an idea that was born from my love of tinkering (especially on cars or other mechanical devices) and my own passion for environmental impacts of the "most dangerous weapon ever made" (see how many deaths from automobile accidents per year, decade or any other time frame - you will be shocked!), the automobile. Since I knew from fundamental laws of Physics that the internal combustion engine is very inefficient, I began to research other modes of propulsion. What about biofuels? I did some research, not much more efficient nor less polluting. Besides, using FOOD for fuel? How many people in the world are starving and we want to use corn for fuel? Especially in a terribly inefficient, polluting, internal combustion engine. What about hydrogen? Well, where does most of the hydrogen come from? From processing good old fashioned OIL. It is a byproduct. Sure there are other ways of making hydrogen, but I want that hydrogen left for fusion reactors (cheap electricity for everyone on the planet!). However, fusion is just a dream at the moment. Anyway, hydrogen fuel cell technology actually runs an electric car!
Soooo, here I go in my attempt to take a 1976 Datsun 280Z and make it into an electric car. It may take awhile based on funding and time. But I am committed and will track our progress here!
