Concept of using Capacitors to recharge said vehicles of travel, I thought I would consider asking another similar question as to why? Wind generators are...
To design a hydraulic drive that will give good starting torque, passing acceleration and fuel efficiency, the volume of oil the hydraulic motor uses has to...
OK, you need the basic performance equation F=m*a+1/2*Cd*A*rho*v^2+Crr*m*g In SI units rho is 1.2, g is 9.81,A is the frontal area of the car and a is its...
Trying to figure out how much power is actually needed to build a hydraulic drive will require testing a pickup under load on highway. A study of hybrid cars...
Well, pick numbers for 0-60 time and 40-70 time, mass and frontal area and I'll crunch it for you. There's no smoke and mirrors with electrics, at least, and...
