emissions, otherwise the engine well be running all the time. Toyota uses this system and it has just been proven a failure, only 37 mpg and less than 10 miles as ZEV. June 99 Popular Science. I, I BELIEVE THE AUTO INDUSTRY, GM, FORD AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE CITED FOR CONTEMPT OF CONGRESS: 1: FOR SEEKING AND ACCEPTING CONTRACTS THEY ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO PERFORM! 2: FOR ACCEPTING MILLIONS OF TAX PAYERS DOLLARS TO DEVELOP AND PRODUCE CLEAN AIR VEHICLES, WHILE DELAYING IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE THAT END RESULT! 4 3: FOR SPENDING MILLIONS OF CLEAN AIR DOLLARS, WHILE, SPENDING OVER A MILLION~ DOLLARS A DAY TO CONVINCE THE PUBLIC THEY NEED A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE MONSTER TRUCK THAT COST ALMOST TWICE AS MUCH TO BUY AND TO DRIVE. IN MY EXPERT OPINION, ONE IN 10 MILLlON HAVE ANY USE FOR SUCH A VEHICLE! 4: FOR SPENDING MILLIONS TO CONVINCE THE PUBLIC THEY NEED 0 TO 60 IN 5 SECONDS ACCELERATION, THIS CAN DO ONLY ON THING, INCREASE THE AUTOMOBILE DEATH RATE, ALREADY, SECOND ONLY TO GUNS FOR TEENAGERS! At least five major auto manufactures are using my split-drive system and I have the perfect control system, no shake, rattle and role, anyone can get in and drive with no instructions. My vehicles perform and drive the same as the average gas cars. Ibelieve future funding should be limited to high speed production methods for light weight vehicles composites, aluminum and plastics. The most important component as always is a power source for pure electrics fuel cells without reformers, advanced batteries if they are really better. Hybrids will do fine with the lighter weight spiral--wound optima batteries. No hybrid should be accepted with less than 30 mile ZEV (Zero Emissions) range'. TKE PURPOSE OF A HYBRID IS TO RUN ELECTRIC IN THE CITY AND TO HAVE THE SPEED AND RANGE FOR THE HIGHWAY THIS IS THE BASICS OF MY DESIGN, PLUS PURE DRIVEABILITY
