That brings me back to a time that I completely forgot about. We used to build C02 racers. Those little canisters that you used to load BB guns with. We would carve and shape a little car body from pine, then drill out the rear side to insert the canister. We had to attach an eyelet to the top of the body which rode on a stiff string, and rig them all up together, with a contraption that would puncture every canister at once. The idea was to design the most aerodynamic body to win the race. Since there were occasional inconsistencies with the canister pressure or launch, we would rotate positions and race each one three times. The best of three went to the final round to run three more times. It was typically obvious who had the best design but occasionally we had nail biting races.
Lots of good questions... we have solar so it doesn't cost us anything unless I charge it when the system isn't producing, which I only do a few hours per day. It takes about 13 hours to fully charge (on a 120v circuit - I really need to get a 240v circuit run to charge faster, but meh, too many other things to do). When it's fully charged, you can run it about 35 miles on battery only, but I leave it in normal hybrid mode most of the time. I think the total range for a fully charged and full tank of gas is just over 400 miles. It's not the best mileage of its competitors, but it's good enough.What is an estimated cost to charge it per month? I always wondered. If you run out of charge, how far will the little motor get you? Curious minds want to know
