#469 of 567 Re: Has anyone ever tried this car [greenman456] by gagrice Sep 13, 2007 (7:12 am)
Replying to: greenman456 (Sep 13, 2007 6:40 am) Are you in the USA? Welcome to the Forum. What is not to like about a car like that? LPG is fairly easy to find. Those conversions were real popular in the 1980s. The engines run very clean on LPG. You lose trunk space in a car with the tanks. Keep us posted if you buy one.

#473 of 567 Restoration of Early Hybrid by moparbad Jul 01, 2008 (8:39 pm)
I've been enjoying the progress of the restoration of a Walker Dynamotive and perhaps others would also have interest.   Phase 1   Phase 2   Hybrid is not a new concept. The craftsmanship in this restoration is amazing IMHO.

Replying to: moparbad (Sep 07, 2008 3:38 pm) Interesting site, but this isn't a hybrid. A hybrid has two or more power sources (typically gasoline ICE and batteries). This truck is gasoline powered with a motor/generator for its transmission, basically the same approach as the diesel-electric locomotive.

"   This is a "series" hybrid, a category that also includes the diesel electric locomotive. They aren't always referred to in this fashion, but that is the correct terminology.

Replying to: talmy1 (Sep 08, 2008 12:06 pm) Yes it is a series (or serial) hybrid.

Replying to: talmy1 (Sep 08, 2008 12:06 pm) quote- For example, between 1938 and 1942 Walker Electric Trucks produced the Dynamotive. This series hybrid gasoline-electric truck definitely fits the definition of a hybrid. -end   Hybrids and Alternative Fuels Deliver the Goods
