[Land-speed] Killacycle LSR attempt

[David Dymaxion]

Bryan, you are absolutely right on the A123 batteries. These batteries are
definitely game-changers, now all we need is for them to be cheaper. On my
Camaro, I estimate if I removed all the gas stuff, put in 400 lbs of electric
motors, and the rest of the missing weight in A123 batteries, the car would
have 900 hp at the same weight! These batteries produce as much as 4 kW / kg
-- that's about 2 rwhp per pound of battery!

Killacycle LSR attempt

To me, the important part is the A123 LI battery's
using Nanophosphate technology
which yields massive surface area in a small,
lighter package with staggering current
capability. They have a 3.2 VDC R&D
sample available on their web site that is slightly
larger than (+15%) than a
AA battery.
It is rated 3.0V at 140 amps for 1 second without damage
