---- An electric vehicle with real energy efficiency to cut use of oil -- and -- reduce threat of global warming ---
The world stablishment of industry, governments, and profiteers are leading us to electrify cars, but without major improvements in vehicle efficiency this will only shift from oil to coal as the basis of world energy. Coal is essential for industrial society, but it must be carefully used, so cars must sip, not guzzle energy.
--- Auxilliary engine for independence of operations ---
Batteries could have a meaningful future if energy was sipped, but even so, expecting batteries to carry us long distances is impractical. Thus, the value of hydrocarbon fuel must be utilized. However, this only works sensibly if the automobile is completely restructured.
--- Further opportunity to reduce CO2 through cogeneration based on a small auxilliary engine for electric power generation with heat capture ---
Real innovation is possible.
Governments, industry, venture capital all seem inept, dedicated mostly to promulgating false expectations and pretensious shows of financial action, so it looks like actual people have to do the job. Someday, the greenwashing will have run its course and we can get on with it.
Motorists ride the Miastrada like knights rode war horses, except protective armor is provided without having the rider wear it. And it is a lot easier to get in the Miastrada than it was to mount these "coursers" of the past.
Right Side Rear View -- Motorists board by walking up ramp that is a lowered cutout of the vehicle shell. Canopy opens allowing adults to walk nearly erect as they walk to their seats.
Rear View -- Lowered ramp shows between the parallel wheel trains. Seats swing to the side to allow clear entry path.
