Neil Young & Lincvolt at SEMA 2010- Part 4
Part 4 of Neil Young’s keynote address from the Driving Green Performance Seminar at the SEMA convention in Las Vegas, Nov. 2, 2010. In this series of videos, Neil explains the Lincvolt project, the technologies used and created in the development of the car and unveils Lincvolt for the SEMA community. Lincvolt is the world’s first Micro-Turbine powered Bio-Electro-Cruiser. She draws her power from a Bio-Diesel fueled Capstone Microturbine generator, and a UQM 150KW prime mover and super-safe Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries. In 2007, Young assembled a team to modify his 1959 Lincoln Continental to enable it to run on electricity. The goal was to inspire a generation by creating a clean automobile propulsion technology that serves the needs of the 21st century, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to a new low while delivering performance that is a reflection of the driver’s spirit. By creating and demonstrating this new clean power technology, Lincvolt hopes to show a way to reduce the demand for petro-fuels enough to eliminate the need for war over energy supplies, thereby enhancing the security of the USA and other nations throughout the world.

The first guy(s) that can invent a viable fuel cell or ultimate storage battery will be a hero and a trillionaire. The Chev Volt is a failure. In my humble Canadian peon opinion, we will be dependent upon fossil fuels for transportation for a least another 20 years. Great presentation though.

You’re definitely the man, Neil. Thanks, and all power to you as you rebuild after the fire. Wouldn’t it have been nice if America had started working seriously on alternative energy technologies, oh like 35 years ago, when the first Arab oil embargo should have taught us not to continue relying on foreign petroleum, or 20 years ago, when the end of the Cold War with the Soviet Union could have ushered in a New Age of rebuilding the American economy AWAY from trillions to the Pentagon.

The success you and your small, dedicated team have accomplished is inspirational and hopefully will be a catalyst for large scale research and production efforts. While I would guess that you are devastated by the fire, from the ashes, I anticipate a Lincvolt II that will push the technology even further and faster. Thanks Neil and the rest of team for this magic.
