^xrays are produced when you flow high voltage and current through an anode witch contains a tungsten coil. the high heat then shoves electrons "through" a focussing cup towards an angled tungsten plate called a cathode. these strike the cathode and flow downwards through the glass window of the tube's glass envelope.

 

Rotary its more complicated then that. From those videos and more research from non-conspiracy foil hat wearing people, you can see why.

The profit margin vs cost was much lower.
Replacement parts market was MUCH MUCH lower.
Amount of cars needed to be sold to cover cost of plants, employees etc wasn't enough. If I showed you a list of 2000 names, it would look HUGE, but in auto sales, thats garbage.
I also read a major concern was other states adopting (or a nation wide law) California's strict emission bullshit if they showed they could make these cars practical. This would mean they would have to sell more of these low profit cars. You understand that even a 10% cut in profit is BILLIONS of dollars right? I don't blame them, in the late 90s we where booming and didn't have such a demand for EVs.

 

^what kills me is that you dont seem to understand what i was trying to get at. they HAD the technology to prduce an electric car that got 100mpcs+, but destroyed any information to copy it.

now they come out with this piece of fucking shit sad excuse for a fucking car and call it a "marvle"... when the concept came out it said it was 100% electric and got a whopping 40mpcs. 40 MPCS. i wanted to punch the next infant i saw in the face.

backwards much? you know what else is super duper awesome? my fucking grandmother had a 100% electric car in the fucking 70's.

 

I just googled the EV1 and its about 100mpc and GM didnt make ANY of the batteries, other companies did... The designs can easily be found, so I'm not sure exactly why the cars where destroyed/decommissioned except for a possible dangerous undisclosed design flaw.

Your awesome EV1 lol:
EV1 Electric Car: Did it Suck or Not? : TreeHugger

 

watch who killed the electric car. till then your argument is one sided and flawed.

here is the link for part one. watch all 10:
YouTube - Who killed the electric car? (1of10)

gm paid the inventor of this battery pack and in part of the deal were GIVEN THE PATENT AND ALL RIGHTS FOR IT. this way it can never be reproduced.

my point was, if they had the technology in the seventies, why isnt it much more advanced now? they couldve had this technology perfected and the efficientcy issues resolved by now. but why do anything different? because were too fuckign lazy. lets use the same old fucking technology forever. if they had it to the point where they could get 100mpcs in the 90s, think of where it would be now?

im not out to say that government motors is evil, down with the govermnet, or any of that fucking crazy hide your kids in the basemnet shit. this isnt a conversation about fucking haarp or project bluebeam.


frankly, i couldnt care less about this bullshit electric car tree huggin crap. i just get pissed when people say that "ohh gm is doing the right thing. looking out for the future. im an ignorant fuckhead that doesnt know how to read a fucking book" the reason we tech history, is so it does not repeat itself. but because the majority of people that live here just dont give a fuck about anything other than themselves, history is doomed to repeat itself.

 

Its not about development and moving forward with technology, its about profits. I'm not watching all that bullshit I cant stand conspiracy theory videos and their backwards mindsets. EVERYTHING any company makes is patented by them and them only btw.

 

and if you dont believe me on the crushing in the desert:
YouTube - Who killed the electric car? (10of10)

 

it wasnt a company that invented that battery, it was a man. one. and gm baught all the rights to it. its not a god damned conspiracy, its a documentary on how gm took all of the ev1s back and crushed them.

 

They where LOOSING money on them. The leases didnt cover a fraction of the cost. It was an experiment. The one source said they used multiple batteries, one from Panasonic and another company....

 

so even if they were losing money, why take them back and crush them? why not let the leasers have the option to buy them? they couldve just stoped production. they also couldve given that battery design to them there japs. theyd figure out a way to make it smaller and cheap as dirt before the end of that year.
