Hello all, Just wondering if any of you real gurus (you know who you are -- Shawn, Matt, Lowell, Cliff, Steve, Bob, Jerry, et al) would like to take a crack at answering this question for this 5th grader (daughter of a NASA-KSC project manager) who is doing a school science project on EVs. I could take a stab at it, but I know my answer would be somewhat speculative and incomplete, as just an armchair guy myself who has never rolled up his sleeves and done any real conversion work compared to you guys who have actually done it!
You can either direct your response to Kim Weston (the 5th grader's mother and NASA-KSC program manager) at the email address below, or if you send it to me, I will forward it on to Kim. Thanks for any help in the furtherance of EV education for Florida's youth! Charles ----- Original Message ----- From: Chesson, Bruce E.

(KSC) Subject: RE: Misc Good Morning Bruce, How does 1:00 tomorrow (Tues 12/11) sound to you (for test driving an electric car)? btw...my daughters science project question is Question What is the effect on torque of shifting an electric car into lower gear going up hill? Hypothesis Shifting an electric car into lower gear going up hill results in more torque. It could obviously be used with any type of automobile, but this way she'll learn about torque as well as electric cars. Let me know if 1:00 Tues 12/11 is good. I'd plan to meet you at your office unless you have another suggestion.
