And There's More Where that Came From!

RELATED CONTENT

The ingenious inventor has done a lot of additional research, too. While scouting out an efficient, lightweight battery, for instance, he uncovered several good sources of such power-packs, as well as additional access information for drive motors, generators, and assorted parts and components . . . all of which-along with the design innovations-Dave supplied to Mother Earth News for her plans package.

However, the best news may be yet to come: Mr. Arthurs has informed the editors and research folks here at Mother Earth News that he's putting together yet another hybrid vehicle ... this time a VW transporter bus, which he plans to use as a delivery vehicle for his small electronics and stereo shop. Although the mini-van isn't quite finished, David reports that it "works like a charm" so far . . . and-after he completes the final cosmetic touches-he wants to jump right into his next effort: a hybrid electric boat!

Needless to say, Mother Earth News will be right on top of both projects, and as soon as possible (maybe even in the next issue) we'll be showing you the latest in hybrid electric transportation from Springdale, Arkansas!
