JUNE 2010: The top speed today 18 June 2010 was 44 mph on the zapcar odometer.
Feb-March 2010 We (Steve Gould) and I stayed up late into the early mornings twice testing the toy trains. We got 160% (60% more) improvement on one test (not the best showing). After reconfiguring we next got over 200% (100% more) improvement in distance laps. WOW! !
Sept 24th 2009 Modification #7 using the partially installed patent circuit: A new record (100 miles for pennies ) at new distance record for the smallest electric car in America (ZAPCAR Zero Air Pollution) got 41 miles distance (vs 20 stock) between recharges on the battery pack only the size of a golf cart battery pack @ speeds up to 45mph (vs 35 stock) on flat pavement ! ! ! WOW !!
13 APRIL 2009 - An electronics expert today agreed that this patent has merit !
3 more technical persons have come to see the demos and were overheard telling their friends on the phone that "things are running that shouldn't be" and "...its unbelievable ... its fantastic.... using only 6 puny walmart batteries ...wow ...clocked golf cart at 30mph speed .... looked at battery pack ourselves personally... !! " etc.
DEC 2008 Finally we have the zap xebra electric car rewired and roadworthy again. We drive it everyday! Next step is to finish installation of the patent circuit final parts into it and prove it out! One Serendipitous Point : The patent circuit allows us to recharge the batteries using only the everyday automotive chargers (2 or more ganged at 12v to get the higher amps needed). This achievement eliminates the expensive higher voltage charger systems normally "required" by electric vehicles (ie $400- $1500 per charger vs only $35 for our system needs). Plus, the safety factor is increased for those who like to tinker with their vehicles since the charging voltage is now 12v instead of 72 v. Thus: we now have "dual" charger capability (the onboard 72volt factory charger can be used when needed away from home, and the new plug in cable that connects to the "everyday" 12volt automotive charger is for everyday overnight charging); makes it WIN- WIN !
NOV 2008 A good computer technician man (Scott) from Alaska came to town and also got the demo tour, we rode the patent circuit installed 1985 EZGO for over 3 hours 37 miles total (factoring 2 men instead of one onboard, also going up and down steep hills, and commuting mileage we all agreeed it equated to the original 46 miles on the flat and level pavement). !! SUCCESS !! (compare this 46 miles to the stock factory 15-20 miles using stock system; call any gol cart dealer and ask them how many miles a 1985 stock EzGo could go on flat pavement. if you want to verify this data).
NOV 2008 - The electric car project is progressing, we are getting close to having it all together with microcontroller automation !!
APRIL 2008 -
We again ran the golf cart and got great results again (affirming the doubling effect of disatnce miles @ normal 12mph constant golf cart speeds). One reviewer exclaimed at the super speeds UPHILL in the golf cart ! The inventor said " Thats the power of the patent which allows YOU the user to pick and choose when you want higher speeds versus more distance).
The toy trains also get double laps around the tracks and give JR at least Double Play TIME . Conversely we ran the toy train at double normal speed (comparing to factory version) and got more distance at twice the speed (115% of factory distance at 200% of factory speed) !!!
We also Tested in Mar- April 2008 the patent installed into "BELL" NIGHT TRAILS Bicycle Light with excellent results. It ran 4 times as long as the factory version (using incandescent bulb) and equated to double the work output (watts). Yes it ran for 18+ hours vs 4 1/2 hours for factory version. When we tried it with a very bright LED bulb used for night riding on trails we again got excellent results. (Up to 100 hours at a very bright light beam)
15 Jan 2008 : Finally we have got a comany in china to provide us with prewired parts to begin limited production of the first devices that will be the flashlight and toy train. The flashlight will have 4 brightness settings and provides light for 800 hours on the lowest setting (similar to night light in which you can read the printed page in total darkness). The toy trains will be of the Thomas the Tank variety and run twice as many laps as the normal version. This provides much more time of lighting and play time for the kids! These will most likely go to specialty stores since these first versions will be priced at about $30 and $40 being more expensive to produce on the first production. (still being decided where best to sell them).
7 AUGUST 2007: GOLF CART TESTS Showed a remarkable DOUBLING OF MILES when we used the patent! And as a bonus a significant speed increase when we kicked in the patent. "Albert a local friend said WOW ! That thing really works! "We are two grown men and its accelerating UPHILL " Barbara also exclaimed as it threw here back in the seat "Thats fantastic ! " The amazing patent lets you cruise for double miles distance when you use it AND you can even speed up for hills to keep your speed nearly constant thru the course!
Testing is ongoing as we wait for the appropriate corporation or person to buy this working patent or to work with us in buying a license (thru ebay of course)!
JULY 17th, 2007 Tests with the Thomas the Tank type "motorized" types of toy trains has verified our original findings: YES it works and gets at least 2 times the normal # of laps around the track loop. AMAZING! Come see the video and make your own decision!! Time is money! This may be advertised in the Wall Street Journal soon ! Licenses will be sold for specific device types starting with mobile cell phones, toy trains, EV's, etc.! !
WE NOW HAVE ACHIEVED 800+ HOURS ON ONLY 4 D CELLS USING A 3 LED BULB IN CONJUNCTION WITH THIS PATENT. CAN ANY ONE DO BETTER? AND IT RAN EVERYNITE FROM SUNDOWN TO SUN UP! (We can now predict up to 1500 hours with 1LED bulb.!!!)
