Welcome to the Kraemer Aviation\/Flymall.org<\/a> Wheels & Wings Newsletter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month, the theme is “Electrifying”. All about electric vehicles, past, current, and future. Electric cars are almost as old as powered vehicles. This month: William Morrison’s battery operated carriage, a 1900 Porsche hybrid, electric planes, Livewire, a 256 MPH electric supercar, electric trains, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History Trivia:<\/strong> It\u2019s hard to pinpoint the first electric vehicle to one person or country. The electric vehicle was a series of developments in the 1800s that led to the first electric vehicle on the road. In the United States, the first successful electric car made its debut around 1890 thanks to William Morrison<\/a>, a chemist who lived in Des Moines, Iowa. His six-passenger vehicle capable of a top speed of 14 miles per hour was little more than an electrified wagon, but it helped spark interest in electric vehicles. William Morrison is perhaps the first “gearhead” to have a “man cave”. Morrison had a secret basement laboratory where he worked on his storage batteries and electric vehicle, he called it the “Cave”. Did you know that in 1912, there were over 30,000 electric vehicles in the United States? Picture here is one of Morrison’s electric vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of Ferdinand Porsche<\/a> first cars was an electric car. Here it is, the1900 Lohner-Porsche electric car. The Lohner\u2013Porsche Mixed Hybrid<\/strong> (sometimes incorrectly referred to as L\u00f6hner\u2013Porsche<\/em>) was the first gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle, and was developed by Ferdinand Porsche<\/a> at Lohner-Werke<\/a>. First prototypes were two-wheel drive, battery-powered electric vehicles with two front-wheel hub-mounted motors. A later version was a series hybrid using hub-mounted electric motors in each wheel, powered by batteries and a gasoline-engine generator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Flymall team<\/a> was invited to the Mack Trucks \/ Volvo open house and car show held October 8th. The Mack Truck \/ Volvo plant was amazing to see. Here is an experimental electric truck motor being developed by Volo. We were able to see it in person. Very cool! We didn’t get any details on the horsepower rating or when it may be put into use.

In 2019 Pat, Jett, & Harry were invited to a Harley Davidson Livewire launch party at the local Harley dealer. The Livewire was intended to be a Harley Davidson model, however, by December of 2021, Harley Davidson announced that is was going to be a separate company called LiveWire. The Livewire is Harley Davidson’s first electric motorcycle. Click here for more pictures<\/a>. Harley-Davidson says the maximum speed is 110 mph with it’s 105 horsepower motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next she will work on her A&P certificate and multi engine rating. This was he 5th checkride with Harry and this is the 6th certificate Harry issued her (including her ground instructor certificate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Benjamin Franklin’s experiments revolved around the hypothesis that lightning was indeed electrical in nature. And he wanted to prove that lightning was electricity. Did you know that Benjamin Franklin first introduced the idea of daylight saving time in a 1784 essay he wrote? But the modern concept is credited to George Hudson from his 1895 proposal. He proposed a two-hour time shift so he’d have more after-work hours of sunshine to go bug hunting in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have been running with a Minn Kota Transom Mount Trolling Motor in our classic Walker Bay 8<\/a> for a while now. We can get over an hour running time at one of the higher power settings. So far, it has been a great motor for our use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disney World Monorail<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Riding The Rails:<\/strong> One of the coolest and most famous electric train systems, is the Walt Disney World Monorail System<\/a>. This rail system opened in 1971. The total rail system is just under 15 miles. Roughly 50 million people ride it each year. Surprisingly the trains have been manufactured by two big names in aviation. The Mark VI was built by Martin Marietta and the Mark VI was built by Bombardier Transportation. The Mark IV was in service from 1971 to 1991 and the Mark VI entered service in 1989. The Walt Disney World Monorail System is probably one of the safest modes of transportation. Since it started service in 1971, there has been only one death on the monorail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animals in the headlines<\/strong>: So what is the best electric vehicle to get if you have a dog? Well, TopGear says the Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo. The main reason they say is because it sits lower to the ground and therefore is easier for you dog to get in. Click here for the full story<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
