I see you're bullish on electric motors.
Try to clean your eyes. I like electric motors. They are simple, cheap and reliable. And they have full trust at 0 RPM. Perfect engine for transportation.
The problem is in battery as energy storage for EV. Conventional fuel, as energy storage, is many orders of magnitude better from every side than batteries.
And that batteries drain all perfection from electric motors in EV. Get rid of battery in EV - and it will be a perfect vehicle.
So what? A lot of corporations have factories here for a long time. In Russia workforce is cheap, and you could bribe authorities to avoid costs for different things like pollution filters, industrial safety, etc.
There are no any AI exist at all.
That auto-pilots have absolutely nothing to do with AI. AI is just a marketing bullshit to sell ordinary things as "innovation".
Not everybody lives in warm Australia.
I have nothing against Musk, he already did a very important thing - remove that dumb and false veil of heroism, complexity and state dependence from space travel. That's good and I appreciate it.
But to impress me with stupid electric toys, he should develop really working power source for his electric cars. Not that stupid and weak, climate and corporations dependent battery. Nuclear reactor, fuel cell, ZPM, whatever.
When he will be ready to make a presentation of something like, PM me, I'll be happy to take a look. But for now, spare me all that solar/lithium/whatever crap.
You need to use the polar extreme example
What? Since when living on the North is "extreme example"? I live on the North, it's -20°C right now outside and sun is over horizon only for few hours a day. In clouds.
Seems you can't even understand the obvious things.
99% of the people don't do this.
I don't care about 99% of people. That 99% of people jab themselves with some unknown shit, it does not mean that other will do the same.
The motors of the Tesla Model3 3 for example are rated to a million miles.
Electric motors, like batteries never rated in miles. It is marketing idiocy, without any scientific sense.
Motors of ordinary electric locomotive lasts much longer, 3 million kilometers is a typical request in electric locomotive (as whole) tender. 1 million miles in a car is a very bad electric motor.
There are only 2 elements in asynchronous electric motor that wear. Front and rear bearings. That is all. No other parts of electric motor wear at all. When you replace bearings, your electric motor is undistinguisheable from new one. Why it should fail within whatever miles? There are no any limit on electric motor resource at all.
They can try wind, wave technology to produce electricity and feed it to the Powerpacks
Are you really so uneducated? Winter. Near arctic circle. Waves on what? There are no waves on ice.
Winds are unstable, weeks without any wind is norm.
Also, the number of people that live in those areas are so small
Arkhagelsk city region have 1 million population, f.e. "So small"?
you seem to need information on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HK79ioBW8Mg
Nice. A link to marketing video.
Imagine selling the battery back to tesla and buying a new one
Oh my.... What word you don't understand in "ability to fix everything by your own hands without any corporations"?
So, what if I'm not vaccinated and Tesla was mandated by gevernment to reject all unvaccinated customers?
You are trying to save your false assumption, but it only make things worse.
There is a mathematical equation for people that live in certain areas and how many power packs and panels you need.
So, how many power packs and panels I need to charge my Tesla at winter if I live near arctic circle? Do you know about polar night and something about insolation dependency from the latitude?
Really, I could not imagine that there could be so narrow minded people here.
The 4860 battery will change all of this
Do you read it in some marketing papers? Or you have a EV in real use?
Other than tesla there are many businesses tackling this matter.
So, it is impossible to fix weared battery without a corporation.
AFAIK, i don't need any corporation to fix or replace fuel tank.
Really, it is all a result of using a battery, which is electrochemical device with inevitable temperature dependence, limited cycles, cost and all other flaws.
EVs without battery is used widely without any problems and have a solid niche in worldwide transportation for a long time - electric locomotives/trains, trams, trolley buses, etc. So electric powertrain is not a source of problems. And honestly, I think it is much better than ICE powertrain, it is simplier, reliable and have better dynamic parameters.
But instead of development a good reliable and independent electric power source for electric cars, they just push obviously inappropriate batteries locking users to electric companies and limiting them by climate conditions.
Seems that promising fuel cells development is intentionally slowed down. First - a patents for protone membranes, that make this simple sheets of plastic overpriced to the level when all idea become void. Small 1kW DMFC costs like a helicopter. Second - every year some top brand promise fuel cells for notebooks/smartphones. For a 20 years. Without any result. Toshiba once manufactured a small commercial batch of direct methanol charger, Dynaro, with 5V 1A IIRC, but the manufacturing was quickly cut down without any explanation and reason, ignoring the obvious public ineterst and demand. So, we have a working technology, but it is obviously supressed. Interesting that direct alcohol fuel cells solve most problems of batteries - instant readiness, unlimited idle storage, convenient fuel storage, decent efficiency of 30-40%, and they produce enough heat when working to heat a car in cold climate. Unfortunately they have some wear (proton membranes become clogged with impurities of fuel), and while it is extremely easy to replace worn membranes, their cost is enormous.
IDK, is this a conspiracy of battery makers or something more evil and complex, but here we are. And it seems that there no any changes in the roadmap of EVs planned.
From the article:
10 μM (Micrometre, also called micron, metric unit of measure for length equal to 0.001 mm, or about 0.000039 inch) completely abolished SARS-CoV infection
WTF? μM is micromol or 0.001 mol, the quantity of substance, not the length unit.
Why journalists are so retarded and ignorant? What makes them to add that stupidly wrong explanation to the text of cited article? With that stupidity and unwillingness to study things they wrote about they do opposite to what they intend. Or it is intentional.
Yes, cold winter (usually we have a week or few with -20 - -30°C) here makes all that EVs a summer toys, like cabrios. Some fans tried to drive them at winter, but finally even hardcore fans give up and put their EVs in heated garages to save batteries for summer rides.
So, don't use that Digital Dollar. Use conventional Bitcoin, Monero, whatever. What is the problem? AFAIK no crypto controlled by banks gain any popularity among people compareable with even worst indpendent coins.
they can control who can transact with whom and when
They already could do it with bank cards and accounts. No news here at all.
99% of people don’t even change their own engine oil and now all the sudden they’re hacking their vehicles?
No. 99% people are too lazy and too conformal. They don't want to do it, not can't do it.
you can charge your car forever
Yes, especially if there is cloudy. Charging will last forever.
The 4860 battery is the million mile battery.
Lithium batteries life is not measured in miles. It measured in cycles. Usually they last no more than 1000 cycles, then began to degrade fast. Independent from miles. Also they easily die in cold weather.
Lithium Batteries are 99% recyclable.
But to recycle them you need a huge amount of energy. And it is highly problematic to do it at home.
As I wrote, you will need a day of running generator and a lot of fuel (much more than you need to run same distance on ICU car) to charge your electric vehicle.
And what is the point in buying electric car and charging it with gasoline/diesel generator whole day instead of just buyng a gas/diesel car? Or a hybrid one, if you like electric engines driving your wheels so much?
They had to find a filament that would last a while, but not too long and would eventually burn out.
It is figured for specific wattage (filament temperature). So, if you run that bulb with much less wattage, filament designed for higher power will wear many orders less.
And I can't think of a single LED I've had that has ever gone out.
You are lucky, or you have a good supplier/brand. :)
And light bulb conspiracy definitely was not a sole one.
Again, there was a simple solution for US. Instead of bying US one, buy 4 times more powerful bulb made for European 220V, and that's all. At US 110V working with 4 times less than nominal power it will last forever.
In Russia, were we have 220V, we bought two bulbs with 4 times wattage and connected them in series.
For LED bulbs it is even easier, check "DIY Dubai LED bulb". Nearly any LED bulb could be tuned to last many times longer.
Technically, none of "covid vaccines" are vaccines. At least according to Russian medical textbooks. Vaccine is a preparation that establish immunity (body invulnerability) to specific pathogen. "covid vaccines" obviously did not do that. So they are not vaccines by definition.
I suppose it’s possible but too difficult for almost everyone
That is one of the greatest lies they want you believe into. Everyone could do it. Yes, that will need some effort, but the result will be not only getting rid of something you don't need in your car, but a knowledge how things work. You will get much more than you loose.
Good point. Designed obsolescence is a way of control too.
However, in most cases there is a workaround. Not simple, but absolutely possible. They put intentionally weakened parts into devices they sold you. Say, they began to use plastic fittings in car engines that will crack after few years. Make the same part from metal, and it will last forever. Yes, that will take some your time, money and knowledge, but it is absolutely possible. In perfect world you would not need to, but we are in something closely resembling hell. So, it is not a huge price to get rid from one of torture that bastards think out for you.
Each step into technological dependence weakens us
Only if you allow it. Technology could make you stronger if you wish. You could use internet to hang in stupid social networks becoming dumber, and at the same time you could use it for self-education, searching truth and other very useful things.
In the same way cars don't make us weaker. They allow us to do things faster, enhace our habitat area and all that stuff.
Calculators dont make us weaker too. Calculators do not erase our ability to divide and multiply big numbers. Once you learned how to do it, you will never forget it. It's like riding bicycle. It is education system that don't teach important things makes us weaker. With perfect education you will be able to figure out a way to do math even nobody teach you to, say, divide big numbers manually.
Things and tech is as good or evil, as people who use them. Everybody could use them. If they use them we could too. And it depends only on our will to use them for good or evil, or leave that choice for some authority.
It is just a matter of our attitude to things. To study and use things in your interests you have to stop afraid them in first place.
First question should be not "is it good or evil thing", but "how could I use that thing". That's all.
If you have a button, take a look what's behind before pressing it. If you see some wires to some big brother - just cut them. And only then press that button and get your cup of coffee, send message, start a car, whatever.
Philosophers could spend a decades thinking about the goodness or evilness of computers instead just studing how they really work and using them.
Who and how stops you to remove that crap from your car? Just trash them out, and that's all.
Self driving is a nice option. And relatively old one. Don't you use a cruise control in your car? It is a simpliest implemetation of self-driving. Add a front radar to it and brake control loop - and you got adaptive cruise control, your car will keep a distance to a car in front. Add a camera and control loop to steering, and it will be able to follow another car without your interaction. And so on. Self-driving is just a sophisticated cruise control. A bunch of sensors, control loops and actuators. No magic, no evil, just a technology.
Evil appears when you allow some third-party to control your cruise control. Do not allow this. Throw out any third-party control from your property. Do you remember that car is your property and you could modify it as you wish without asking somebody's permission, license, whatever? You don't need to eat any shit they try to feed you with.
Everything "smart" is running a program. You could replace that program with your own or fake environment for that program. It is not a real problem.
The problem is that you need ~80kWh to charge your average electric car. Simplifying, it could be a 80kW pushed to a car in a hour, or, 1kW pushed to a car in a 80 hours. For average household you hardly could obtain more than 5kW from a socket, so it will be minimum 16 hours to charge your car. In reality there is losses, so it will be longer.
The first car made was electric.
Yes. I wrote about it. Nothing changed since that times. That electric toys on batteries still toys. And anything that could replace that stupid batteries and make the toys real things is prohibited. From fuel cells to nuclear power sources.
How well do the oil companies pay you?
As maybe you know, in Russia oil companies stole our oil which by constitution is a common property of all citizens. So, they didn't pay anything, they contine to stole my oil.
PS: just calculated - they stole ~$5 a day from me. Oil only, not including gas, iron, copper, precious and rare metals and other stuff.
So, they try to tell a story, that it is people fault that they developed immunity to coronaviruses in the past without assistance, not a "vaccine" fault.
Bloody bastards.
