LincVolt- Educational Video

One of the guess speakers at the Dreamforce conference was Neil Young. He presented the LincVolt, a smart car utilizing clean automobile propulsion technology the dream he was able to turn into a reality. He and his group utilized salesforce collaboration techniques to gather the knowledge to build the vehicle as well as build the site where potential customers can request to have their cars converted. Salesforce is also used to collect and compile the output data from the control center calculating mileage, total distance traveled etc.which can also be viewed here.

I found the idea of LincVolt to be quite interesting, refurbishing old vehicles and thought some of the pictures I took from the conference would serve as a good movie. Who wouldn't enjoy the thought of using a car to power your home :)

I hope you enjoy :)

That really seems like an incredibly exciting and interesting conference you got to attend! I enjoyed watching this video you made here. Your transitions from one pic to the next were especially effective, I think, in conveying the "cutting edge" feel of the whole thing.

Very retro-looking electric vehicle. :-) I'm personally more of a fan of that one that looks like someone took a Cesna and lopped the wings off, but I can't remember its name off the top of my head...

Lots of good shots. :-)

Peace,
