Green, Eco Friendly Class A Monoblocks

How big? Pics please!

So far the capacitor storage technology is still 'on the way'. It might be that EEStor is the furthest along. http://theeestory.com/

The other players in the US are Maxwell and Intersil, plus there is still a company here in the Twin Cities that has a technology. I actually went to their place to see it operate and make tests on it, but they had me sign a non-disclosure so I can't talk much about it, but it is a very simple technology. It does seem to me though that they are taking far too long to develop it :(

The truck is a 1990 Ford Ranger extended cab. Its powered by an Azure Dynamics 50Kw AC motor and controller, which reaches its maximum efficiency at 2500 rpm, so I kept the original clutch and transmission. There are 26 flooded lead acid batteries powering it- we had to really beef up the suspension and be creative to find a place to put them all. But they can operate for 2 hours with a 50-amp load, so 100 miles is possible assuming 15KW @ 50 mph. We're down to wiring the harness and figuring out what parts under the hood we no longer need- the entire drive train, battery boxes and the like are all installed. Its been about a 3-year project. Lotsa stalling around... mostly just trying to figure things out. I think in retrospect if I were to do it again with this drive train I'd do it on a Ford F-150. That way it would be a lot easier to install the batteries and there is really not that much additional weight.

As a follow up to this thread, I have just noticed a new commercial for a small, portable solar panel and generator.

It is being hyped pretty hard in an infomercial style TV spot and website, so not so sure about the integrity of its manufacturer or marketing.

However, otherwise it seems pretty small, is < $2000 for the whole set up, and claims to produce 1800 watts of power.

What would that do for storm stranded audiophile?
