Adaptation
_____
Technology keeps marching along, and the atmosphere for 'alternative' technology keeps getting better.
I could have been designing my vehicles, all along, with 'free' energy in mind. I knew it was there, knew it was real -- but also knew that people weren't ready for it.
I talked about the latest in battery technology, then switched over to that very promising development -- ultracapacitors -- after seeing evidence of them as being tangible. Through all this I knew that, eventually, there would be devices that would produce electricity more or less out of thin air. Only small amounts of electricity, if any, would need to be stored.
Any electric vehicle could be upgraded to take advantage of these developments, and that's one reason I swung up onto the electric bandwagon.
A couple of guys in Australia have managed to come up with a viable, reliable, and mass-producible 'over-unity' system. It's a magnetic motor pressed into service as a generator. It works. Give it a kick-start and it will power your house. No, seriously. Buy one of these and you won't need to be on the power grid (though you may still want to, so you can sell the excess to your local utility).
People have been tinkering with this idea for years, but it has been met with skepticism from two fronts. Not only is it a 'perpetual motion machine', it is also an 'overunity device' -- so, to conventional thinking, it's doubly impossible.
You just can't do that. No, no. NO.
Any sense in arguing? Just prove them wrong.
Eventually there will be more elegant (solid-state) devices that output electricity with little or no input, but what we have NOW, after all these years of suppression, is the magnetic motor/generator -- let's call it MMG for short -- and it will do nicely.
The good news is that we no longer need to worry about storing X amount of electricity onboard a vehicle. No large and heavy battery packs, no massive banks of ultracapacitors -- and range is now unlimited. The bad news? Quite frankly I don't see any for Tellurian Motors, except that we will have to wait in line with the rest of the world to acquire these devices -- which is preferable to having to negotiate with Zenn for the rights to use the ultracapacitors made by EeStor (see previous posts).
The emergence of the MMG may spell bad news for many, but no, certainly not for Tellurian Motors -- and it is unequivocally good news for Tellurians (AKA Earth Humans).
As the sole designer for Tellurian Motors, I will be taking on the task of adapting our range of vehicles to carry MMGs. Since each model exists mostly in my head, this is easy as pie. I could design them to accommodate smaller, lighter (solid-state) systems, but I like them to reflect the technologies that are or will soon be available -- tangibly futuristic, if you will.
One thing about powering a vehicle with 'free' energy is that you really don't have to worry about aerodynamics, unless you want to go faster than anyone should think of going on public roads. Use all the energy you want -- or at least, all your systems can handle. Efficiency is still important, but we won't need to bang our heads together trying to make our vehicles slip through the air like so many flightless birds. Weight's not an issue, either. Both curb weight and aerodynamics will continue to be important for performance, of course...
What will emerge (again) as the most important aspect of vehicles, in my estimation, is STYLE. Sure, being stylish can mean using recycled and/or organic materials... Do aluminum and leather count? In any case, I think the public will find themselves ready for my angular designs.
The future, as I've said, is electric, and that becomes more and more evident as new technology is developed. We will adapt, and our world will be transformed.

Update: I've noticed a scrolling message on the Lutec site that reads, "Product release date postponed indefinitely due to possible Transfer of Technology negotiations". Not sure what the means, except that we now have no idea when the LEA will become available... Argh.
