A lot of yuppies like to claim that the business card is dead, instead pointing you towards their Facebook or Twitter accounts to get in touch with them. But I still think they’re alive and well, and are a far more succinct means of giving someone your contact details than making them endure your snide comments about your local coffee shop.

This is the Bioracer from a Swedish Precer Group, and it uses biomass-based power plants for getting vehicles in motion. It is unique as the vehicle runs on wood pellets.
The vehicle has a 16 horsepower electric motor which is powered by a “24 to 96 volt, 100 to 400 amp-hour battery pack”. That is just enough power for three hours, and every 3 to 6 pounds of burned wood pellets is good Fordachttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07365631482012562216noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5298343618839798742.post-48487389197665724632010-10-10T18:42:00.003+05:302010-10-19T22:36:46.951+05:30Retro Phone with modern touch
