So you can have two engines with the same HP but one is more capable and therefore has a higher torque?Torque refers to a capability of a motor or engine. HP is a Finnish module.
Something like that. Not an expert and don't want to torque off those who know about such things.
Great there always has to be a class clown in the group.........shhhheeeeeeeesssshhh 8)Torque refers to a capability of a motor or engine. HP is a Finnish module.
I prefer jickster or jester but class clown sums it up pretty well too! It's a tough job but someone has to do it.
A very good assessment of the limitations of a young technology.
At least you didn't monkee around about bass players.
Trust me I was working on it. Got sidetracked with Check Korea and Your Turn Took Forever.
Brigadier Bacardi reminded me of Hero's Engine or the aeoliphile. Definitely an external combustion engine.A very good assessment of the limitations of a young technology.
However I will say that electricity is easier to transport than fossil fuels. That being said the internal combustion engine will be with us for a while I am sure.
External combustion engine?
Aeoliphile is not a combustion engine of any sort…although it does produce torque.
Lol well Gary I was relatively internally combusted myself when I posted that!
An EV battery for a Chevy Volt is over 700lbs, and that is a compact car, a 20L Jerry can of fuel is about 25 lbs..A very good assessment of the limitations of a young technology.

They have EV'S in northern BC, the winter temps go down to -30 or more, the EVS are useless, do not get a full trip on one charge, and useless in deep snow or snow covered roads. and I would not want to travel at night for a long distance in _-30 to -45 , gas vehicles are safer and you can get gas everywhere.
Sorry, I should have been clearer in my statement. I was referring to the transmission of electricity itself. That is power lines compared to pipelines etc.

I don’t recall ICEs being very efficient, just never had viable competition until now.
Lol I have seen and been responsible for threads going off topic but this is one for the classics.
Really..look at the power from earth movers, some of them are massive and diesel powered....
Checking it out fuel is two pounds or more lighter than water. I knew water was heavier but didn't realize by that much.Sorry, I should have been clearer in my statement. I was referring to the transmission of electricity itself. That is power lines compared to pipelines etc.
Trust me if I was in your neck of the woods I would much prefer your transport.
Lol the only EV I ever rode in was driven by possibly the worst driver I have ever ridden with. He almost caused a wreck backing out of my driveway. They needed me after hours at work and I had been drinking and I don't drink and drive so he picked me up. Next time I will take my chances with a DUI before I ride with him.
