Se nos ocurren muchas cosas cuando imaginamos en qué vehículos nos desplazaremos dentro de unos años: coches voladores, deportivos de diseño, carritos para bebés con estilo, motos solares… Pero Suzuki nos ha dejado de piedra con estos modelos que presentará en el próximo Tokyo Motor Show 2007. El más grande SSC (“Suzuki Sharing Coach”) es una especie de furgoneta de diseño, que sirve como nave nodriza para dos PIXYs, unos transportes unipersonales que recuerdan mucho a los alienígenas de la serie de animación Los Simpson.
A pesar de lo moderno, los dos tipos de vehículo usan ruedas. Están pensados para cumplir con los criterios de movilidad sostenible impulsados por el gobierno japonés, por lo que suponemos que usarán algún tipo de motor menos agresivo con el medio ambiente que los de gasolina. En teoría, con un PIXY ahorraríamos espacio para que cada persona se moviese por la ciudad de forma autónoma (¿sabrá el bicho subir escaleras?), y en el SSC podríamos hacer desplazamientos más largos y con un poco de compañia.
Raro, raro, raro. Mientras tanto, siguen desarrollándose los coches de motor eléctrico, como el Volvo ReCharge Concept, mostrando durante la última edición del Salón Internacional del Automóvil de Frankfurt (Alemania). Un motor eléctrico en cada rueda, y todos se recargan enchufando un cable a la corriente. De momento no son más que prototipos, pero igual algún día los veremos en las carreteras.

ELECTRIC PROPULSION
The solution to the collapse of the global automotive industry not only through a capital injection for reflotarlos but mainly in changing high energy. Internal combustion engines based on oil nearing its limit. Is the cause of the collapse, climate change, and so on. So we agree that future will be electric propulsion. But how do we generate this energy? Must be based only on batteries?. Manufacturers have made great strides in that direction. Which is why we want to make our small contribution. But the goal is the total replacement of petroleum. We believe that it is now possible.
The concept is so simple that every detail is in understanding how to convert the kinetic energy of a fluid into electrical energy or vice versa, how to generate the movement of the fluid under high pressure and high speed without resorting to fossil fuels whether they these: oil , Gas or coal (non-renewable energies), ie with zero emissions.
We have not discovered gunpowder, let alone not have a Pandora's box. Everything is based on large contributions from physicists who have preceded us, we just added some small contributions.
In other words it comes to designing an electrical generator non-conventional renewable energy. We say that is not Conventional because it is not wind power, let alone photovoltaic power with its limitations, which are stationary and inapplicable to a truck. Ours can not only work as an energy source stationary, but fundamentally can energize any vehicle whether ground, naval or air, virtually unrestricted power.
So you can make the electric traction or electric propulsion without the constraints of a battery or fuel cells, ie without limitations of range or distance to cover as it is capable of recharging without external source, based precisely on the Principle of Conservation of mass and energy, or at the top that says: "Nothing is created, nothing is destroyed, JUST CHANGING", or the Newton's Third Law of Action and reaction.
Still not talking about drivers Electrohydrodynamics or ions, neither of superconducting microwave electric thrusters which converts electrical energy into kinetic energy, which is what we intend but also by another method, far less than the Vortex Technology or Coanda Effect; but if we could provide the primary energy to realize these concepts and propel VTOL aircraft.
