ZAP cars - electric cars of the future?
Check out some of these wacky ZAP cars that run on battery. Really cool lookin’
Xebra Xero’s do not attempt to behave like other vehicles. They are unique. They are quiet, yet agile. Imagine a world filled with silent Xebra Xero’s instead of noisy internal combustion engines. The ZAP Xebra Xero is the offspring of more than three decades of thought and evolution. This vehicle was created as a breed by itself. Because the use and purpose of electric vehicles are different than gas cars, the wheel did indeed need to be reinvented. No Tailpipe, just plug it in! Even after counting emissions from electric generating plants, Xebra Xero’s produce 98% fewer pollutants than gas cars. It’s Electric! Laugh at high oil prices, in fact, forget about gas stations, oil spills, and fumes - forever! A Xebra Xero’s appetite is meager. And you can recharge it at any electrical outlet.
I think I read about these from Wired magazine…

Loading ...Betavoltaic batteries that can last 30 years!
Al’right, we got some new Betavoltaic batteries that could possibly last 30 years on a single charge!?!
Your next laptop could have a continuous power battery that lasts for 30 years without a single recharge thanks to work being funded by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory. The breakthrough betavoltaic power cells are constructed from semiconductors and use radioisotopes as the energy source. As the radioactive material decays it emits beta particles that transform into electric power capable of fueling an electrical device like a laptop for years.
