Today I'm going to show you an electric vehicle that weighs less than a bicycle, that you can carry with you anywhere, that you can charge off a normal wall outlet in 15 minutes, and you can run it for 1,000 kilometers on about a dollar of electricity. But when I say the word electric vehicle, people think about vehicles. They think about cars and motorcycles and bicycles, and the vehicles that you use every day. But if you come about it from a different perspective, you can create some more interesting, more novel concepts.
Danas ću vam pokazati električno vozilo koje teži manje od bicikla, koje možete svugdje nositi sa sobom, koje možete napuniti na običnoj zidnoj utičnici za 15 minuta i koje možete voziti 1000 km za 6 kuna struje. Ali kad kažem ''električno vozilo'', ljudi pomisle na vozila. Pomisle na aute, motore, bicikle i ostala vozila koja svakodnevno koriste. Međutim, pristupajući situaciji iz druge perspektive moguće je stvoriti nešto zanimljivije, jedan novi koncept.
So we built something. I've got some of the pieces in my pocket here. So this is the motor. This motor has enough power to take you up the hills of San Francisco at about 20 miles per hour, about 30 kilometers an hour, and this battery, this battery right here has about six miles of range, or 10 kilometers, which is enough to cover about half of the car trips in the U.S. alone. But the best part about these components is that we bought them at a toy store. These are from remote control airplanes. And the performance of these things has gotten so good that if you think about vehicles a little bit differently, you can really change things.
Tako smo i mi nešto stvorili. Imam neke od dijelova u svom džepu. Dakle, ovo je motor. Dovoljno je snažan da vas odveze uzbrdo u San Franciscu brzinom od oko 30km/h. Ova baterija drži oko 10 kilometara, što je dovoljno da pokrije oko pola vožnji automobilom samo u SAD-u. Najbolje je što smo ove dijelove kupili u trgovini dječjih igračaka. Ovo su dijelovi zrakoplova na daljinsko upravljanje. Njihova izvedba toliko se poboljšala da, ako razmišljate o vozilima na malo drukčiji način, uistinu možete nešto promijeniti.
So today we're going to show you one example of how you can use this. Pay attention to not only how fun this thing is, but also how the portability that comes with this can totally change the way you interact with a city like San Francisco.
Danas ćemo vam pokazati jedan način primjene ovih dijelova. Obratite pozornost na to da ovo nije samo zabavno, već i na činjenicu da je lako prenosivo što može u potpunosti promijeniti način na koji dolazimo u doticaj s gradom poput San Francisca.

So we're going to show you what this thing can do. It's really maneuverable. You have a hand-held remote, so you can pretty easily control acceleration, braking, go in reverse if you like, also have braking. It's incredible just how light this thing is. I mean, this is something you can pick up and carry with you anywhere you go.
Pokazat ćemo vam što ova stvar može raditi. Lako se upravlja njime. Postoji ručni upravljač pa se lako upravlja ubrzanjem i kočenjem, možete ići i u rikverc; i tu postoje kočnice. Nevjerojatno je koliko je ovo lagano. Ovo je nešto što možete podići i nositi sa sobom kamo god idete.
So I'll leave you with one of the most compelling facts about this technology and these kinds of vehicles. This uses 20 times less energy for every mile or kilometer that you travel than a car, which means not only is this thing fast to charge and really cheap to build, but it also reduces the footprint of your energy use in terms of your transportation. So instead of looking at large amounts of energy needed for each person in this room to get around in a city, now you can look at much smaller amounts and more sustainable transportation.
Za kraj moram napomenuti jednu od najfascinantnijih činjenica u vezi ove tehnologije i ove vrste vozila. Koristi 20 puta manje energije za svaki kilometar koji prijeđete nego auto. To znači da se brzo puni, jeftino je za napraviti, a usto smanjuje i potrošnju energije što se tiče prijevoza. Dakle, umjesto da razmatramo ogromne količine energije koje su potrebne za svakog pojedinca u ovoj prostoriji da bi se kretao kroz grad, sad postoji opcija manje količine energije te ekološki osviještenijeg prijevoza.
So next time you think about a vehicle, I hope, like us, you're thinking about something new.
Sljedeći put kad budete razmišljali o vozilu, nadamo se da ćete, poput nas, zamišljati nešto novo.
Thank you.
Hvala.
