Separate names with a comma.
I suppose the buy+sell route, then. I do love the car, but it's uneconomical to keep it, as it collects dust and literally collects cobwebs...
Besides, think about it this way. Imagine back in the late 19th and early 20th century, if electric cars had won. Even if we had discovered...
Actually, I see two potentials. Of course, extending range on BEVs would be an awesome accomplishment. More importantly, you could lay this in...
Oxides are not metals, any more than bauxite is aluminum. Though it looks like they plan to fully process by the end of this year. The real...
Oh, I fully realize the difference between range and mileage. 'Range' is what Chrysler advertises for its cars and jeeps with horrifyingly poor...
Well, we'll see how much energy it takes to cause an unproven polymer to change the shape of a tire, raising the entire car a millimeter or two,...
Actually, didn't the Prius change battery chemistry to Lithium, from NiMH back in 2010? Are Lithium packs already failing, or are these the...
Oh, and even if the TPMS idiot light is 'on', it doesn't mean the user will do a damned thing about it.
The thread is more about ways to make tires more efficient. In a way that consumers can afford. If it's not, then probably discussing other ways...
The whole idea here is to have the tires ALWAYS be inflated correctly, without any input from the driver, unless the TPM alerts them to a problem....
Come to think of it, IF the ridge is only inflated AT speed, and 'instantly' deflated on braking, the additional tread wear might be negligible,...
The hummer thing looks expensive as heck, no matter how you slice it. All those articulated air connections (not only does the wheel spin, it...
I think the pneumatic bladder in the tread wall addresses this. Pop open a solenoid valve, and all the pressurized air's out of it in...
The Volt is becoming 'real'. But with production stops and high prices, it isn't. volt production - Google Search
Deflation can happen very quickly. Pop a solenoid, and out it comes. Another simplified method that occurs to me would be to have a separate air...
Why not simply have the tires selectively under and over-inflate themselves? Highway speed? Pump it up! Need to brake in an emergency? Dump...
And let's not forget quotas for busting drug offenders for possession. Busting potheads for a little weed is so much safer and easier than...
I tend to rant a bit.
Laws give them the RIGHT to have quotas. All in the name of 'safety', and of course revenue for the city/county/state. Sort of like the laws a...
Actually, the rare earths in California are shipped off by train as raw ore, to a port, to be processed in China, too. I think they do some rock...
