Thanks for the responses. It certainly seems like there is a bit left to learn. So far we have two answers citing two possible sources (general millenia-old...
This has been posted previously but the discussion is now open again. I had been following Raser Tech for a while before it became hot - one of the investors...
Energy can be stored in different forms. Liquids that burn etc. I will venture to say that Electricity is the most efficent energy transfer from Grid to...
Even more odd is the fact that Hawaii's big Island is still dependent on imported diesel fuel for its electricity. Considering the volcanic activity on that...
Very good point that Lee makes. Heck, geothermal is only a part of the equation as to what Hawaii could do. They must have good insolation for solar, and the...
What is the Root Source Of Geothermal Energy? It is primarily from decay of the heavy actinides and potassium-40 in the Earths crust. These are the super long...
Just dont drink the stuf. To brewers butanol is called "Fusel Oil" good brewers do nat want too buch in beer or wine because it greatlt adds to the hang-over...
I'm not an engineer, so please tell me what these "electricity storage inefficiencies" are. All I know is I put 27 kWh in my NiMH pack and I drive 120 miles on...
... I dunno: I been talking to a person who pointed out that he set up an electric assist bicycle for a local person (he rides one himself) with a solar panel...
Hi all, I'm planning a diesel-electric motorcycle with a simple series-hybrid setup. The basic components might look something like: * 10hp to 12hp range...
Something that has been on my mind for awhile: I wonder if calculations have been run to figure approximately what portion of a vehicle's trip energy...
A seat of the pants (bike seat that is) observation. Having two bicycles to choose from, one-fully suspended and another with no suspension, the difference...
There is some solar on the big Island and there is some wind in service. Also apparently a test project for wave energy. For whatever reason, these endeavors...
How much is the diesel engine going to weigh? I guess a big problem with using diesels on a motorcycle is that they weigh so much more than a gasoline engine,...
Murdoch, can you save these pontifications for Monday next time. Friday is my remove brain, coast into Saturday day and frankly having to think this morning is...
... Yes, I think there are many good lessons we can take away from riding bikes. For example, when we hear that we need to keep good tire pressure on our...
bcc: various discussion groups and individuals With 4 weeks until the opening day, I've heard through the grapevine that there are some rumblings and questions...
A 10hp air-cooled diesel is around 125lbs, not too bad. Alternators don't weigh that much, call it 10lbs each. Electric motor, 26lbs, 10lb controller, call...
Hello! I am new to this group. A couple of months ago there were some articles on some company, with a difficult to remember name, that had a new engine...
Great answer, Lee I have thought about Murdoch's question too. The calculation of energy loss into shocks is a complicated one. I am sure somebody has...
Beard said, Wings are used primarily on race cars to provide downforce which keeps the car from lifting off the road surface at higher speeds......they can...
