The United Kingdom is experiencing housing shortages and property prices rocketing out of control because of government policies that have failed to control inflation or to index link the cost of living with the cost of houses. This situation effectively enslaves working class people on a low income, preventing them aspiring to home ownership.

 

When the state stopped building low cost housing, they gave free reign to wealthy landowners to put up rents with very little by way of control. Hence, a typical rental will now cost more than a mortgage - and the house is never yours.

 

 

Utopia Tristar RE (renewable energy) flatpack timber mobile home 28'x18' affordable starter home (POA) = 12 sq/m solar conservatory, which generates 12 kW during periods of intense sunshine. Thus if the sun shines for 6 good hours, you will capture 72kW/hrs of energy. 8 hours will yield 96 kW/hours and so on. Minus of course any losses in efficiency in conversion. Add a wind turbine and PV panels and you have yourself a sustainable dream house.

ECO CAR PROJECT

 

 

Ecostar DC50, green motoring technology direct current motors and 50kW Donald Campbell tribute

 

ECOSTAR DC50 (Tomcat) is a two seat sports car concept with front wheel drive and 50kW direct current (DC) electric motors. The roof will carry solar panels to supplement fuel in cartridges as a range extender between instant energy transfer pit-stops. The cartridge may contain batteries, fuels cells, or a mix of batteries and fuel cells. The technology future proofs vehicles against battery and/or fuel cell advances - as an aid to the transition to a zero carbon lifestyle.  The challenge for the ECOSTAR DC50 is to reduce the long standing 1 minute recharging world record, to less that 30 seconds. We know it is possible to get this down below 10 seconds, but our finances are running on empty, so we are aiming low. Back us and we can aim higher.

 

 

This is a medium budget research project that is suitable for funding under local enterprise initiatives, aiming toward consortium building for an eventual Horizon 2020 bid.

Tesla - EV charging station, USA

 

Thanks to Tesla, the giant of electric car manufacture and its enigmatic founder, Elon Musk, it’s now possible to travel from one side of America to the other in an electric car for FREE!  As part of their planned dominance of the American automotive market, Tesla has created The Super Charger Network, a mass of charging stations that deliver power to 80% of the Country for nothing. How long that lasts, we have no idea, but for now, Tesla-owning Americans can now enjoy a classic American road trip without paying a single penny for fuel, a remarkable advancement in just a short amount of time. Wake up UK!

 

 

 

Winner of the Shell Eco-Marathon of the Americas, an event to see who can create a vehicle with the greatest fuel efficiency. The competition takes place annually in Houston, Texas, home of Shell Oil’s US headquarters. The 2013 winners in the prototype gasoline category this year was a team from the University of Laval, in the province of Quebec. Their winning performance was 1,524.7 km/lL or 3,587 miles/ US gal., which easily surpassed the second place performance of a US team at 981.2 km/L or 2,308.3 miles/ US gal. Now, that's what we call economical environmental motoring.

 

 

Horizon 2020 transport research and innovation ideas

 

HORIZON 2020 - TRANSPORT RESEARCH & INNOVATION

 

Horizon 2020 is the European Commission’s proposal to generate ideas, growth and jobs through the world’s largest collaborative programme for research and innovation (2014-2020).

 

In the transport sector, the Commission will strive for a balanced approach in implementing the programme that takes into account the specifics of each mode (rail, road, waterborne and air transport) while remaining holistic; an approach which reconciles competitiveness with sustainability and which invests both in technology and in relevant socio-economic research.

 

The four main priorities for transport research under Horizon 2020 are:

1. Making transport more sustainable: resource-efficient transport that respects the environment.


2. Making transport and transport systems seamless: better mobility, less congestion, greater safety and security.

3. Keeping transport competitive: the European transport industry as a global leader.

4. Making transport research responsive: socio-economic research and forward-looking activities for policy-making.

Work carried out in the framework of the Strategic Transport Technology Plan (STTP) will contribute to focusing the transport European research and innovation activities through Horizon 2020.
