KMW Electric Cars

The KMWEV program [weave] design team has been examining new advances in dielectric ultracapacitors and nanowire Liion batteries.

A team designing an electric competetor to the small sedan used capacitors and batteries to produce an EV similar in curb weight, superior in performance, and with 5-8 hour running life. With Stanford's new nanowire battery, sure to translate favorably in capacitance, the electric model has soundly overtaken the petroleum vehicle.

Adding the cheaper-than-coal solar paneling to the vehicle's body will trickle charge the battery as it runs, shortening charge time and battery size. More exciting to our engineers is the effect this new battery system will have on the electric motorcycle. A true and proper unlimited electrical bike can be built with the technology we now have. It is very probable that teams can beat the nitromethane racers within months.

Experiments in graphene production and synthesis are being beamed to our associates. Additional yields in conductivity and amperage may be forthcoming.

Combining these technologies and new pro-lab and robotic manufacturing operations could produce cheap and long-lasting electrical vehicles before 2010.

The great motorcycle would have a Kanzius engine in x-firing otto2.0, o-gear pattern, with the 0-under the seat oriented like a 3rd wheel. This engine does not require traditional fuel tanks, air intake, valves, radiators, exhaust, muffling, carbing or injection or fuel filter, so it would likely weigh substantially less than a traditional engine while producing greater hp from hydrogen activated from RF and a capacitor via alchemical molecular splitting.

A good and quickly starting and stopping motorcycle equipped with a CVT on an o-gear Kanzius would probably go 125 mph and weigh about 250 pounds. This seems like an ideal bike for many riders. Larger versions running on similar engines could be scaled purely for the width and performance.

Automobile accidents are one of the world's biggest killers. Foreseeing an availability of resources and technologies in the future, Kilby Motorworks was asked to design an automobile capable of protecting its passengers from a 100mph crash. Making these systems the most efficient possible became the task.

Easy Rider

"If I were to make the easiest possible motorcycle to ride, I would give the user a CVT transmission so they don't have to switch gears so often, bigger brakes to stop more quickly without engine-braking, and a small set of unmarketed 'training wheels' so the bike doesn't tip over so easily when making sharp turns. It'd also need to be light enough to be picked up and relatively unharmed by falling over. The training wheels could help this matter. I might add in an intelligent steering ballast for very low speeds to help balance the bike when the gyro effect is not in play..."

It would be foolhardy to store hydrogen gas in an automobile. The Hindenburg taught us this. Storing more than 25 cycles of hydrogen as a gas while also being used as a fuel source for an engine is banned here, and should be legally banned in the nation.

The sensible way to store or use hydrogen as fuel is in water. Until that technology is prepared for the public market metal hydrides are the way to go. We can use the hydride batteries as part of the frame, or as a functional metal bumper, and have them [both] replaced at fuelling stations, until water approaches. Considering probable events, water hydrogen technology should be approaching by around 2009 for general use, and afterwards in cars becoming fashionable around 2010.

KMW E- motorcycle

The electric motorcycle can achieve 0-60 in 1.0 seconds, using just under 1000 lithium ion batteries. A nitromethane racer does the same in 0.7 seconds.

Scientists have recently produced supercapacitors that can hold 7X the normal charge of an old school style dielectric supercapacitor. Using this rapid and groos discharge it will be possible for the electric bike to replace some lithium ions with supercaps to enhance performance in the initial acceleration.

A bike composed entirely of supercaps would have a ride life of only perhaps six seconds or so, but it could accelerate outstandingly fast in those six seconds, certainly destroying any quarter mile record. A bike with supercaps to enhance lithium ion charge could become the next great superbike system.

Supercap = Superbike

[Engineer's Note]

If I were to make a great motorcycle, I'd give it a Otto 2.0'd 4 cylinder engine, but make the cylinders micro. They could either be a pair of parallel in lines or x-firing horizontal. I'd fill them with diesel and give them a small liquid cooling system and metal fins on the sides. I'd put a motorcycle scoop on the sides behind the fins with the Otto supercharger. It'd be swanky, and kick out perhaps 80hp on a 2-300cc 4-bang engine with the o-gear. A clutchless bike. Heh. The tight engine would leave room for a plenty of a suspension. I wager it'd run for 200k or more.

The 54hp motorbike with a cvt could definitely compete with any bike on the market depending on the final weight and RPM. High revs and acceleration diesel tuning would give it a prompt 0-60, and it could probably reach 130mph alone. The 90hp version would be a monster. I think 90hp should be a good goal for a KMW motorbike.

Heads up to GM, Toyota et al for the spring 2007 microdiesels.

49cc Diesel Moped [The Angstrom]
249cc Diesel Motorbike
349cc Diesel Motorcycle


The 49cc diesel Angstrom is designed to comply with moped laws in the USA and other nations. The engine is designed to pack as much power into 49cc as possible. The pair of Otto2.0-stroke cylinders should run upwards of 10krpm and attach to a moped CVT.

Diesel produces 1Hp per 54,000 cc/m. 49cc [50cc] operating at 10krpm produces 9.2 Hp in 4-stroke engines. The Otto2.0 should produce about 18Hp in ~50cc. A CVT will move this promptly to the road, and the moped will most likely be capable of moving faster than 30mph. A governor will likely be added to the moped to limit the speed and make the bike legal for sale. Larger than standard shocks and wheels will likely be standard. Easily tweakable [dial-up] modifications to the breathing cycle of the Otto2.0 will be produced.

A 150cc version would produce about 54Hp. The 250cc version should produce about 90Hp, and produce a highway-level motorcycle performance, with greater than average acceleration and in the light of acceleration diesel tuning, a top speed of ~90mph. A 350cc motorcycle would be the next step up, producing 126Hp, for an experience more like a touring bike.

Collision Protection

The most probable collisions a vehicle will face are either expensive or deadly. Both such problems must be addressed. To protect against common low force collisions, a KMW should have a large rubber and metal bumper surrounding the vehicle, particularly on the front and back and around the wheel wells, capable of resisting the vehicle moving at 15mph, or two tons of fairly solid material moving at 10mph. The body should be made of replaceable carbon fiber, fiberglass, or meshed hard rubber segments to reduce expense and damage of small collisions.

For more serious collisions, the gemini boning structure should keep the car's basic structure and protect passenger lives. Two lengthwise rigid bundles of pipes inside and below the cabin/trunk and engine connected to rigid crosswise sections deep to the front and back bumpers and another set between the two segments should provide a strong structural base secondary to the hard frame.

Considering the vehicle's light weight [~2000 lbs] these figures are estimated
Setup:
Primary Bumper [~10-15mph]
Bumper Backing Panels and Square [~10-15 mph]
Gemini Front Bars and Q4 [25-30 mph]
[Engine] [20-25mph]
[Midengine Airbags, Exterior Airbags] [+10mph]
Gemini Front Lines [25-30 mph]
Gemini Midbars [10-15mph]

This should place 100-130mph of material protection between the passengers and the street, along with accoutrements, easily giving it a 5-star rating.

Factory Biodiesel and Hydrogen

Designing an engine specifically for running on biodiesel fuels without trouble, or traditional diesel, could be a task worthwhile. Biodiesel has many advantages over petroleum and can be produced locally and at farms to provide fuel for rural motorists.

Later models containing water-hydrogen fuels, expected for 2008, should be quick to retool and take the market. This shift is a place where 1000' series automobiles can take the road with great force. It will be worthwhile to produce several biodiesel vehicles in the interim because of the probability of skyrocketing petrol prices and the profitability and usefulness of the technology. Biodiesel is a net detractor of greenhouse gasses and pollution in general because of the nature of the plants it uses as fuel.

The Second $10,000 Car

How do we make just 1000 cars for $10,000 each?

Efficient design and manufacturing technology allow our manufacturing facility to be exquisitely versatile. 3D milling and printing machines allow us to produce components *whole* with far fewer total pieces and far less manufacturing. This gives us a shorter assembly line than major competetors.

Special electrolysis techniques pioneered by bold chemists and welders provide cheap heat by which to turn carbon into shapely carbon fiber bodies and frames. Backed with metal mesh, steel, and rubber, we can produce a standard frame 1/3 as light and stronger than as steel for a very approachable price. This allows us to build with smaller [cheaper, and cleaner] engines, transmissions, and suspensions. Vehicles with excellent performance cost $0 more to build than a normal car with this technology and manufacturing style.

By operating without bulky marketing and advertising departments and hand-building and hand-selling our vehicles, we save more and don't charge you. Using our versatile infrastructure, we build more customizable vehicles inside and out so we don't need to advertise or market our products. We know what you need, and can customize the details with you.

For example, an order for a specific sedan...

Someone wants a 4-door sedan in the sporty category. We go from our base She specifies a body style and general shape, and personally picks any features over the $10,000 baseline. We modify our milling and firing codes to her wishes and have a car ready for her within weeks, enough time to sell her old one. We'll even paint it your favorite color[s], add decals and offer you a wide selection of bumper stickers, custom light shapes and fixtures, at select brightnesses and spectrum ranges. We accept LED arrays and capacitor controlled efficiency bulbs. We offer special fabrics to turn your car interior into a street-legal lightshow at your convenience.

Higher performance vehicles are in the Kilby Motorworks too, for collectors and racers, using our special design technology.

The KMW Streetclad is a high-performance racing vehicle running on our custom-scaled O-gear Otto2.0 X4 engine with CVT shiftless technology. In 450cc, 85hp increments, we will build you an acceleration-tuned diesel engine through 2.25L and 425hp up to 4.5L and 850hp.

With an estimated 2-seater weight of 1800#, 850hp should propel your custom automobile over 200mph and provide a 0-60 of under 4 seconds. Advanced braking, downforce, and turning and braking flaps help reduce braking distance. Impeccable Kilby Motorworks handling and safety features mean you'll be racing for a long time.
