The Chevrolet Volt uses Lithium Ion batteries. The Toyota prius uses Nickel Metal-Hydride batteries, and the Kia Optima Hybrid uses Lithium Polymer batteries.

The first practical turbojet aircraft, the Heinkel He 178, had a single engine putting out 4.4 kN of thrust. By comparison, a modern Boeing 747-8 has four engines that put out a whopping 296 kN of thrust each.

The first hybrid was made in 1901 by Ferdinand Porsche. However, hybrids were not mass produced until the 1997 Toyota Prius rolled into showrooms in Japan.

Yesterday's Seahawks victory over the Panthers marked the first time that a defending Superbowl champion has won in a NFL playoff game since 2005

Lithium:
Alkali metal
Extremely reactive and flammable (like all alkali metals)
Least dense of all elements that are solid at room temperature
Will ignite if exposed to water and oxygen, but with less force than other alkali metals

Electric cars have existed since the early 1900s. Although they were more popular than they are today, they shared the same main problem as today's electric cars. Range.

Here's some stuff on Uranium
-Uranium has 92 as it's atomic number, and it's symbol is U
-It is the second heaviest element naturally occurring on Earth (although plutonium was first synthesized in a lab, trace amounts were later discovered in nature)
-In metal form, it is slightly radioactive, emitting alpha particles.
-It is more dense than lead, but not as dense as gold or tungsten
-Apart from military uses and for nuclear power, uranium is used for stains and glazes in uranium glass, tile, and pottery, and has some specialized uses in science
-The half life of uranium ranges between 69 and 4.5 billion years, depending on isotope
-Uranium plays a part in natural Helium production on earth. Alpha particles are identical to Helium 4 nuclei, containing two protons and two neutrons. If an alpha particle picks up two electrons from the environment, it becomes a helium atom

New idea: Once a day (or once a week or whenever I remember), I will post a random family friendly fact. To start, here are a few facts on everyone's favorite element, Helium
-Helium is a finite resource on earth, formed in natural gas pockets near uranium deposits
-Helium is the second most abundant element in the known universe.
-Although use as a lift gas for balloons and airships is probably the most well known, Helium is primarily used as a cryogenic gas and for arc welding.
If you have your own random facts on your mind, feel free to leave them here. Have fun!

Wish granted. You have all the time in the world. Unfortunately, in order to gain your extra time, you never sleep, and get incredibly tired.
I wish I were better at woodworking

All this doesn't change the fact that I don't trust Microsoft anywhere near as far as I could throw them. They lost me with the horrible UI in Windows 8/8.1.
