Here's the second of our monthly video updates on the Wind car project. I'm off to Norfolk next week to take a look at the proposed body modifications and generally have a catch up with the team. Im looking fwd to it. Chassis has been lengthened, battery housing and transmission are now designed and under construction and were very slightly behind the estimated timeline, but still heading for Dec on the road. Meanwhile out in the world, where so much is changing lately - I hear Tesla are laying off staff and suffering some kind of financial difficulty raising doubts about their future.

Work started in earnest on our wind powered car about 6 weeks ago. Were making good progress, close to plan and budget so far.Should be posting one of these a month now as we count down to the day we get this wind powered car on the road.Our first focus was the batteries - where to put them to keep the weight in the car in the right place in terms of centre of gravity and front/rear weight distribution. And how to house them so that we can keep them physically restrained but control their temperature during charging and discharging and protect them from the elements.

A little post about all the wind farms and solar farms popping up all over Spain. If Spain meets its goal of generating 30 percent of its electricity needs from renewable power by 2010, with half of that amount coming from wind power, it will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 77 million tons!

The oil embargo of the early 1970's created a great boom of development activity around alternative energy technologies. It was during that time that great research occurred, largely funded with Federal dollars, in the area of solar and wind power. But as the embargo ended and oil prices stabilized, Federal funding evaporated and most of the impe
