The “Lo-Car” is intended to be a mainstream vehicle, intended to allow for transportation of individuals or family units. These vehicles were also designed for transportation of small loads and can be used for long distance travel. The “001” designation for the “Lo-Car” is only related to the operating components of the vehicle. The “Lo-Car” is externally customizable thus allowing for the appearance of the vehicle to be customized for the operator. | The “Lo-Car” is intended to be a mainstream vehicle, intended to allow for transportation of individuals or family units.

- | **Battery Packs 3:** The Lo-Car has three different battery packs; two of the battery packs are of a NaNiCl type, placed in the front and rear of the vehicle and used to provide power to the motors that would move the vehicle. The NaNiCl battery packs are encased in an air conditioned compartment to prevent over heats. One of the battery packs is a Li-Polymer type battery, used to provide power for internal vehicle displays and devices connected to the vehicle’s power. | + | Battery Packs 3: The Lo-Car has three different battery packs; two of the battery packs are of a NaNiCl type, placed in the front and rear of the vehicle and used to provide power to the motors that would move the vehicle.

- | **Custom Bacterial Cells (3):** Special bacterial power cells have been constructed for the use in vehicles, these power cells include a larger inlet for materials to be fed to the bacterial colony.

- | **Quad mounted motors (4):** The motion of the Lorath vehicles is accomplished by the use of four electrical motors, these motors are designed to have an output at “cruising speed” of approximately 300HP, The motors are designed to deliver more output if additional power is supplied, and the motors are kept from overheating through the use of basic air cooling, additional cooling can be accomplished by custom additions to the vehicle. | + | Quad mounted motors (4): The motion of the Lorath vehicles is accomplished by the use of four electrical motors, these motors are designed to have an output at “cruising speed” of approximately 300HP, The motors are designed to deliver more output if additional power is supplied, and the motors are kept from overheating through the use of basic air cooling, additional cooling can be accomplished by custom additions to the vehicle. |
- | **Regenerative Systems (4):** The Lorath vehicles are also equipped with a braking system that transfers the energy generated by the friction of the brake slowing or stopping to the vehicle, this is called “Regenerative Braking”. This energy is regulated through a processor system and is used to directly power the motors, or provide a charge to the battery system. Additionally a “flywheel” generator is attached to the wheel of the vehicle that allows for a part of the power applied to moving the vehicle to be recycled by the vehicle. | + | Regenerative Systems (4): The Lorath vehicles are also equipped with a braking system that transfers the energy generated by the friction of the brake slowing or stopping to the vehicle, this is called “Regenerative Braking”.

- | **Rotary Type Chemical Combustion Engine (Optional):** The chemical combustion / fossil fuel engine for the Lorath vehicles is designed to deliver an optimal amount of power, while at the same time conserving fuel and reducing emissions. Using a rotary type engine instead of a piston engine allows for additional efficiency. The difference between a typical rotary engine and the one that is used by the Lorath is minimal. Other than improvements to the fuel consumption rate and several design flaws that are known to the original rotary-type engine. The fossil fuel used for the engine is enriched with additional chemical catalysts that cause an improved fuel consumption rate that comes out to approximately 130 Miles per gallon, when used in conjunction with the electrical motors. When used alone, the engine is able to deliver 75 miles per gallon. | + | Rotary Type Chemical Combustion Engine (Optional): |
