Lithium-Ion Batteries for Electric Cars
Electric cars have been around since the 19th century, so they're not exactly space-age technology. But the recent surge in electric vehicles springs, at least in part, from NASA know-how. (HP laptop battery)
A carmaker, Hybrid Technologies Inc., signed a deal with NASA's Kennedy Space Center in 2006 to help test and improve the lithium-ion battery systems in its vehicles. With NASA's contributions, the company, now known as Li-Ion Motors, was able to deploy New York City's first all-electric taxi and develop a broad range of other lithium-powered vehicles, including converted PT Cruisers and Mini Coopers.
Long history of battery expertise
With its long history of IBM thinkpad battery development and testing, NASA was a natural partner for an aspiring electric-car maker. Many of the space agency's craft rely on battery power. The moon buggy, for example, was powered around the lunar surface in the early 1970s by non-rechargeable silver-zinc potassium hydroxide batteries. The Mars Opportunity rover — which landed on the Red Planet in January 2004 and is still going strong — is primarily solar-powered, but rechargeable lithium-ion batteries store energy for use at night.
The batteries that power rovers, satellites and other spacecraft must be reliable and robust. They must be able to withstand the jolts and shudders of a launch, and they must be able to work in tough conditions — in extreme heat or cold and high radiation, for example. Their premature failure could end the mission, since replacement or repair would be either difficult (and expensive) or simply impossible.
Testing electric cars
Li-Ion Motors, which is based in Las Vegas, converts cars, trucks and other vehicles to run on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. In March 2006, the company entered into a Space Act Agreement with the Kennedy Space Center.
Under the deal, the company supplied a fleet of electric cars — including PT Cruisers, smart cars and high-performance all-terrain vehicles — for KSC engineers to use and test. The aim was to help determine the utility of lithium-powered vehicles, and to that end the NASA engineers studied the cars' advanced battery-management system.
NASA's efforts helped improve the vehicles, and the company soon was selling them. Lithium-powered Mini Coopers and smart cars were available in the 2007 Sam's Club catalog.(Sony laptop battery)
These days, electric vehicles are becomingincreasingly common on highways around the world, and many carmakers have gotten into the game. This surge is due in large part to improvements in lithium-ion batteries that allow cars to go farther on a single charge.
Meanwhile, NASA engineers are working to improve lithium-ion systems for spacesuits, to make the batteries less prone to "thermal runaway" — when batteries heat up dramatically and, in some cases, explode.
These improvements are likely to find their way to the road at some point, too, making next-generation electric vehicles more robust and more reliable.

2005 Ion Red Line- spoiler??? anyone with any knowledge give me advice.?
I went to the honda, saturn, dodge, toyota, and chevrolet.....the general concencus was telling me a red line is a great buy for a tuner car that will double in safety for family...(im not a street racer or whatever)....i was wondering what everyone thinks...
and in 05, was the bigger spoiler optional or std? thanks...
I own a shop, and build race cars. The single most thing you must be concerned with is this; If a spoiler extends any past the sides of the vehicle, and catches the wind down the side of the vehicle, you will have a vehicle that will be very unstable at highway speed, and dangerous at higher speeds. I saw a car that had a spoiler that overhung the sides by very little, and the car was all over the road when it got up to the speed limit on the highway. A spoiler is designed to give the vehicle more stability by creating down force. Get it too high, and it creates down force so much that it raises the front up, thus the front catches more air underneath slowing the vehicle down. Height, and angle of the spoiler is everything to the stability of the vehicle. Now... with that being said; The bigger spoiler was not an option, and probably came with a warning. If you will notice; most "all" vehicles from the factory that have a factory equipped spoiler, are low, and come close to the edge of the vehicle, but no more. Aerodynamics is the name of the game, and a spoiler that is not installed properly can, and will be dangerous on a light weight vehicle at high speeds. An air dam on the front to keep it down, is a good idea if one has a spoiler to put down force on the rear of the vehicle too. The factory knows about the vehicles stability, and what will work, but for safety reasons they don't install them on some vehicles due to being in lawsuits over it. Any vehilce that is front wheel drive is light in the rear end, and can greatly benefit from a spoiler putting down force on the back of the vehicle. Knowing where the air flow around the vehicle is everything when installing these. The idea is to catch the wind from the top of the vehicle, and none from around the sides, so with this in mind; talk to the manufacture of the spoiler for your application BEFORE you go installing any spoiler on your vehicle. You will be glad you did, and have a much safer vehicle.
Glad to help out, Good Luck!!!
