Alternative energy vehicles

OK, I lied before, this here is definitely the best green energy solution! Who needs to pay for the high price of gas when you have HAY? This gives true meaning to horse power, even though this is not technically a horse, it is still a a four legged beast pulling… not a cart, but a jeep. Ingenious! Think about it, you get all the luxury of a auto interior without having to worry about gas prices. Now you may have a few new worries such as the price of hay and this may put new meaning into such car issues as “a stubborn transmission” and “engine failure”.

The good news is that with this ride, you literally can coax your engine back to health!

Alternative energy car

Alternative energy car designers seem to be hard at work creating the next cool car that can be run off pretty much anything. This one is really great, magnetic energy car. Now it is a bit small… but it uses magnetic energy, how cool is that?

The magnetic energy Concept car was designed by car designer, Harsha Vardha. Harsha thinks that cars could be manufactured using technology that no car manufaturer has ever tried, yep, magnetism.

The concept magnetic / electric powered car generates power in the form of electricity from magnetic fields and the power generated from those.

Eco Factor is the design, it’s a Zero emission concept car powered by a magnetic field that is converted into electricity to power the car.

Pretty cool…eeahhh

Tata motors created some buzz when they first showed off the air car some time ago, now seems the project is picking up steam with plans on bringing the air powered car to the US next year.

The models were called oneCat and miniCat and rumor has it that those same models that were slated for Indian roads may hit U.S. roads as well.

The company planning to bring the air cars to the U.S. is called ZPM (Zero Pollution Motors).The first air-powered car to hit U.S. streets is supposed to be priced at around $17,800 with about a 75-hp engine. There are also plans for a 6 seat, large version for the U.S. market. The Indian models, OneCat and MiniCat are 2 and 3 seat models.

The air cars are said to be able to go as fast as 95 mph and have a range of 1000 miles on each fill up of, well, air. As it stands now, the cars should be available in the U.S. by early 2010.
