LincVolt Anatomy
It's been awhile since we've had updates on Neil Young's LincVolt project so we thought we'd check the garage out.
Turns out that lots is happening!
From today's edition of Lincvolt Blog - Repowering the American Dream:
Paul Perrone, Lincvolt team member, has put together a crack team of electrical engineers that is working hard wiring and programming Lincvolt for the next stage. The goal is to make Lincvolt a complete and working EV by the end of this push.Also, follow LV adventures on Under The Hood for more.
Paul Perrone's company, Perrone Robotics, has already built a couple of cars that are totally autonomous. That is not the goal of Lincvolt at this stage but it is an eventual goal of the project to make Lincvolt capable of traveling on her own to a destination. Many cars today are starting to use robotic concepts and we want Lincvolt to be able to do some things that will make the project get a lot of attention, drawing notice to our important goals of clean green motoring.
Also, a podcast of Paul Perrone interview on Lincvolt by Aer Stephen on Folk and Beyond-WTJU.

Thanks Aer, K & Liza!
Thanks for posting this Thrasher. I love these updates. This summer my school is getting 43 geothermal wells to help heat /cool our school building thanks to a million dollar donation from someone in our community. Neil's work on Linc Volt has inspired me to get involved with this project.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoy reading the blog "under the hood".
ReplyDeleteLike today about the new friend of LV:
"A fire extinguisher? Yes. Cars like Blackbird, and me, well. We need things like fire extinguishers because although we may look cool we are
On. Fire.

with the cool pictures and McCartney clip singing Blackbird, it's just nice!!
Love, Liza
