Imagine a car that could last forever, you never have to buy a new one
- well at least not a whole new car. Well, the Online Think Tank has
conceived such a concept and let me go ahead and explain how it works.
Each person will buy their first car, which will have an identical
frame and motor. Each car will be a specific size and you only pick
the body style. If you are a teen you can pick a trendy type, a young
male college student - perhaps a sports car or Mini-SUV. A mother
might buy a hybrid body style between a mini-van and an SUV.
Since the frame will be made strong with carbon nano-tubes and a
component based fuel cell, which can be upgraded later for efficiency,
it will be used throughout life. Each frame will have six attachment
points to put on a different body as your lifestyle or needs change.
This is a take off of the "common cockpit" strategy being developed by
the NASA SATS program.
Each body will also be made of carbon nano-tubes and when you are done
with one, you can list it on eBay, by area and color, quality of
interior. When someone else wants it, they can buy it or trade for
their current body. Interiors that change with trends and styles in
society, can be changed without changing the whole car. As body styles
go out of flavor, they can be melted down, by removing the less dense
carbon nano tube windshields and windows....
