    I thought this video was great. I have not tried it yet, but have been stuck many times with a DVD that I could not read. Great information. Thanks.

    Very cool. This was a nice high level article, but I wish it would have given some type of cost comparison to gasoline engines like $/10 miles or something like that. With gas prices down to the $2 range, an average vihicle (20/mpg)cost about $1 per 10 miles. Is this car close, 2X, 10X, or what? Wayne Urton

    Thank you for your "How It Works" efforts. I am a retired engineer (EE/CS) and still a geek at heart. I love keeping up on the technology front, and this is becoming my favorite source (yes, even over Wired magazine). I have found that many people, including the young, have a thrust for this type of information. I have been bragging about you to my grandkids. To my surprise, programs like the Science Channel's "How It's Made" is one of their favorite shows.
