Car designer Harsha Vardhan has a different vision of tomorrow. While his vehicle calls for an electric engine, just like we see in cars now like the Prius or Volt, that engine drives magnetic fields, not wheels.
(The magnetic fields, of course, do eventually drive the wheels forward when the energy is transferred from over superconducting fluid that touches the rims.)
The result is, theoretically, a very smooth and quiet ride with a low environmental impact. We just like the design for its neat, rear-entry cockpit and all of the potential we see in jousting of the future. [ecofriend]

Friday, July 3, 2009 at 8:43 AMI really hope the morons that design this sort of crud don’t get paid. They were clever enough to include a stabiliser at the rear so you don’t end up looking like a hamster in a wheel after tripping over, every time you take off. But… you’re going to end up like one when you brake hard. Also, how the frig do you steer it? I assume like a tank, by slowing down the rotation of one wheel. Hardly practical and you just know it’s gonna tip over at high speed (and probably low speed, anyway).
In summary; Ring of Death, it is.
