Design Manuals

In addition to our research in electric cars, we have also designed and build both an earth sheltered home and a small scale hydro electric system to generate power for the home and office. We've published the results of our research in three informative and practical "How To" manuals and one multi-media CD-ROM. For your convenience, you may order our manuals online with our secure order form or give us a call at 1.888.446.2572.
