Nice effort to turn people on to physics by exploiting their interest in automobiles. Only 6 pages on hybrids and 3 on fuel cells. Way too US-centrically backward in its use of non-metric units.
Si può guardare l'officina di un meccanico con gli occhi dello scienziato e scoprire come ogni aspetto del funzionamento delle automobili sia riconducibile ad un fenomeno fisico. E come potrà essere, allora, l'automobile del futuro alla luce delle nuove scoperte scientifiche?
