The delivery system essentially consists of a large water tank with eels and a throttle which controls the amount of the eel irritant introduced. The more you irritate the eels, the more charge you will get. The size of your tank and the number of eels dictates the speed and distance. You can expect 2 baby eels in a jar to power a bicycle on flat terrain for 5 miles at about 12mph. 20-25 mature eels can get you 0-60 in under 7 seconds and go for about 40 miles at freeway speeds before the eels die.
I have a new idea for alternative car with a fuel cell powered by eels, will I make money?

Question about Fuel Cells and Alternative Fuels?
February 21, 2010 By
If we went to an alternative fuel of specifically a fuel cell that uses water, how would the govenment tax it to pay for roads and what not? Where I live, the cost of off road diesel $1.00 less per gallon because it isn’t taxed. How would the government make that money up if we could just go to any water source and fill up? How will the make up the hundreds of millions of dollars they’d lose? I don’t think a dollar per gallon tax on water would work because its also a neccessity to live. Do you think not being able to get around the tax issues has limited the governments involvement in finding alternative fuels? I know theres been government fuel cell projects going on since the 80s, but its hard to believe nothing practical has come out of it yet.
When is your local government going to lead by example?

Well, when are you environmentalists going to insist that your local, state, and federal government lead by example and run their fleet vehicles on alternative fuels? Natural gas, fuel cell, electric ext.? I’m not talking about a minimal insignificant number of vehicles. I mean the whole damn gambit damn it!
Psssst! Johnlong…. Just between you and myself, I’m not an environmentalist. I’m just here trying to provoke thought in actions. Keep up the speculation.

What is the most likely energy source that can replace fossil fuel?
December 25, 2008 By
World is demanding more and more energy.Crude oil price is getting to record high almost every week. Apart from the problems associated with crude such as global warming,environmental degredation just to mention few, crude oil cant be here forever,its a matter of time before the world crude oil runs out. Already we have alternative like fuel cell, wind, solar, wave etc. What is the mostly likely source of energy to replace crude oil ?
