Suck it, Blow it, Light it up. Just don't burn it.

Uh hum.  My aunt sent me an email the other day.  It was a link to a video showing a car with disappearing doors.  Well, they sort of fold down and become a non-obstacle. Click Here to see the video. I'm going to attack it for a moment, but I am by no means attacking my aunt.  Her inquisitive nature is a good thing.  Looking into the future is a step in the right direction.  Who I am attacking are the brainless many it took to make this ridiculously foul video.  First of all, the car is a very classy looking sedan that, in the video, pulls up to mansions and red carpets.  Problem #1 occurs when these nicely dressed people get out of a car who's door, the commercial states, has been extended only 10 inches.  So, in essence, it's a two door car.  You can't possibly consider a door that hasn't even been given a whole foot to count as two doors.  So, this is a two door sedan and people still have to crawl out of the back seat.  I don't care how much money you have, no body wants to crawl out of a back seat. Problem #2 occurs in safety.  They had to eliminate the B Pillar (that's the bar that goes from the hood to the floor between the front door and back door).  You can't tell me that this doesn't effect the structural integrity of this car.  Imagine for a moment, getting t-boned.  A car door that folds down is not going to protect you worth a damn.  A door that doesn't fold down barely does any good, but at least manufacturers have been able to add an air bag to the B PILLAR!!  They can't do that, if it doesn't exist.  Problem # 3??  DUH!  The DOORS of cars are NOT the problem for which we are seeking a solution in the 21ST CENTURY.  Hello combustion engines!  Good bye ozone! Let us focus on the issues that effect our well being as humans first.  Shall we?  Now I don't know a lot about cars.  Hell, sometimes I can't remember what day it is when I wake up, but this is what I do know.
1. a. Somehow the turning of the wheels recharges the battery and this has something to do with the alternator.
    b. Those beautiful big wheels that spun next to a house on the river and looked as though they were churning it were powering the building they were attached to by harnessing the power of the water current.  Things spin and make power. Got it?  http://youtu.be/wDgGvPdAuTU
2. a. There is a car, today, recently invented, that runs on compressed AIR.  It's air, but it's compressed.
    b. Compressed air is how a nail gun drives a nail into a two by four or the shingles onto your roof. It's air, but it's compressed.  Got it?  http://www.flixxy.com/zero-pollution-automobile.htm
3. a. There's this adorable little bike for kids that uses the turning of the steering wheel to move forward and allows momentum to keep it going.  It turns on a stinkin' dime too! It looks so fun and goes so fast and all they do is use their arms to wiggle the steering wheel.  Wiggle wiggle ZOOM!
    b. Pulleys make a little work into a lot of energy.  This is evidenced in bicycles.  Peddle peddle ZOOM!  Got it?  http://youtu.be/rauJq_LTMYI
4. a. America specifically, and the world in general, has an obesity problem.  It probably stems from the fact that we don't have to work for anything. (that's physical work I'm talking about)  We work for paper money and the jobs that actual require some sort of physical labor are usually the lower paying ones.  We make more money to be fat shits and then we pay to go to a gym.

    b. If we could move through our streets just a touch slower to open up the possibility of lower power transportation, it would also be safer for those of us who would like to bike, ride a scooter, etc.  We do not NEED things like hummers in this world.  For any reason.  But if we keep driving them, someday we will need them because they will be the only thing our fat asses fit in.  Got it?

Put this all together with the fact that the FREAKIN' SUN produces power as well and you get some pretty nice fitting pieces to a puzzle.  Solar panel roofs, alternators, compressed air, a tiny touch of human power(pedals, hand cranks, nothing exhausting unless you work up a sweat peeling an orange) and maybe some blades that can harness the wind you will experience by MOVING. The vehicles may look a little funny at first, but we will have a life time to fix that. It is possible and I absolutely refuse to believe that it isn't. And I don't care who you are, with gas prices what they are, I don't think anyone is out there saying to themselves, "Man, if only these damn doors weren't in my way, then $4 a gallon wouldn't seem so bad." But nothing will happen until we decide to pull the heads of oil millionaires out of their own asses. Get it? This generation just needs to get fed up.  I think that there are some locked doors presenting obstacles, but they're not attached to our cars.
