| Mag-One Solar/Hydristor/Flywheel Concept Car | |
| The CAD design of the Mag-One pictured above was done by Mr. Tom Kellogg of Irvine, California. Tom worked for Raymond Loewy in the late 50s/ early 60s & actually conceived the Studebaker Avanti. Ray Loewy was advertised as having done it, but Loewy really took credit for Tom Kellog's masterpiece. The Avanti is considered one of the ten best styling designs of automobiles of all time. Loewy was called the father of industrial design". It is unfortunate that he took credit for the historically significant work of an apprentice (Tom Kellogg). Mr. Tom Kellogg. Tom died earlier this year (2004). Tom Kasmer & Tom Kellogg became friends & Kellogg vigorously lent his support to the Mag-One concept. Kasmer stated, "I am very sad that Tom is not here to share in the Hydristor & MagOne dreams. Check out the history of the Avanti & Kellogg on the net. There is a story here in that famous people often enhance their reputation by stepping on the 'rungs of other talented people to climb over them. |
The Mag-One is covered with silicon photocells. The photocell’s problem is voltage, so there needs to be hundreds connected in series parallel. Shadows & lack of light cause problems.” So Kasmer is creating a switching network, sort of like the old phone switching networks, to compensate. “The electolyser in this car would expel Oxygen. Flywheel technology is used in conjunction with a system to store kinetic energy as the car moves. Gyroscopic forces of the flywheels are also integrated to keep the car from ever tipping over at high speeds. A Static vacuum generator os also employed to get the car moving from 0 to 60 in 900 milliseconds.” You read it right. Zero to 60 in 900 milliseconds . “The vacuum down-force makes the car weigh 12,000 pounds in terms of tire traction. Couple that with several thousand horsepower-seconds stored in the flywheels & a variable Hydristor able to brutally transfer the very high momentary horsepower to accelerate the 3,000 pound car at 3 'g's of acceleration. The Mag One will stop from 60mph in two car lengths.” |
