Nissan Offers Electric Car in 2010

I think that Nissan is a great Car company who really cares for their customers. I recently have a Nissan sentra 08 and Nissan workers help me out a lot. They are friendly and they always give me a complimentary car wash (=. haha While Honda and Toyota prepare to battle for hybrid supremacy, Nissan has decided to simply skip that step and become the first major automaker to sell a mainstream electric car.

The AP reports, "Nissan showed on Wednesday a spiffy electric car packed with a battery developed by the Japanese automaker to deliver more power than the type common in today's hybrids. The electric vehicle, set for sale in 2010, carried a 300 kilogram (660 pounds) lithium-ion battery and still zipped around a Nissan Motor Co. test course, accelerating more quickly than comparable gas-engine cars."

We have no idea, however, what the production car will look like. The model shown to the press was a Nissan Cube -- a small wagon resembling a Scion xB that Nissan hopes to bring to the U.S. market in 2010. But the automaker said in a press release, "The production vehicle to be introduced in 2010 will have a unique body style and is not based on any existing Nissan model."

Edmunds Inside Line adds, "Details such as cruising range are yet to be determined." While automakers often release new technologies in Asian or European markets first and bring them to the U.S. several years later, we may get Nissan's electric car early. "The Nissan electric vehicle is set to go on sale in Japan and the U.S. in 2010 and globally by 2012."

That puts it in direct competition with the next-generation Toyota Prius, and Chevy's hybrid Volt.

For auto junkies, the biggest surprise in the debut was the sight of a working lithium-ion battery. The Washington Post explains, "Better known as the energy source of choice for most laptop computers, cell phones and other portable electronic gadgets, lithium ion batteries are now being eyed by the automotive industry for use in vehicles." While many manufacturers are believed to be developing lithium-ion cells, they have proven notoriously difficult to tame. Built large enough to power a car, they tend to overheat. Nissan, however, says it has developed a new series of li-ion cells that are nearly ready for production. This new battery is constructed of "laminated cells that are stacked on top of each other inside batteries." The cells "are just a few millimeters thick," enabling the automaker to build batteries of varying sizes and capacities easily. "The laminated batteries also run cooler so they are much less likely to overheat."

GPD Child Locator Watch

I remember writing an article about cell phones and how parents could track their children through their cell phone. I thought that was pretty much invading their privacy. I mean this could be good if you are going to the park or somewhere where it is easy for someone to take a child. But never for older kids. I think that they would feel trapped or imprisoned. On occasion as a parent you get stuck in situations where you’re more worried than usual about keeping track of your children. Well Lok8u is releasing a gadget to help you out in such situations. It’s a set of watches that incorporate GPS, so that you never lose track of your little ones. Likely this won’t be ideal once your kids get a fashion sense of their own, but it will work for at least the younger kids. That is unless you can pitch the watch to them in a way that they won’t mind that it’s a bit on the unfashionable side.


Hopefully you don’t always have to be wearing the watch either, because even the adult version is a bit unattractive. I’m not sure specifically what situation would make you want your kids housed with a GPS unit. However, the watch is an interesting concept. It also has a handy function that lets you know when the watch has been removed, either by your child or someone else. Besides being not so attractive, this is a bit expensive. You can pick up the pair for £149.99 or about $228.

Motion Activated Lawn Sprinkler

When I was starting to read this article, I was very concerned about the water issue. I mean does it have to be water? I think that's just wasting it if you have pests coming 24/7. The inventor should think about our environment and how much we're wasting water! I know I could be a tree hugger sometimes.. but I found a this gadget on a website. This is the motion-activated animal deterrent that protects your flower beds, garden, and ponds from deer, raccoons, herons, or domesticated animals without using harmful chemicals or requiring unsightly barriers. Using infrared detection technology that is effective day or night, the device activates an integrated sprinkler when a visitor enters its 105° field-of-view, spraying a forceful yet harmless stream of water over a 1,575' sq. area. The sudden noise and movement of the sprinkler frightens the uninvited guest, causing it to scatter while discouraging return visits. The unit stakes into the ground and attaches to a garden hose, while a dial allows for adjusting the motion detector and spray to focus on animals of a particular size, from small cats to deer. Battery lasts four to six months. Requires one 9-volt battery. 25" L x 7.5" W. (1 1/2 lbs.)
I think it's around 60 bucks or so.
