Sigh.. unzips...

Sight.. unzips...

Its save.. but the lights might not be very bright

Yep ... One beer basically kills your reaction speed.

We found that out when you kill count in UT dropped significantly after a single beer.

And we were very well 'trained' in those days

Obviously its possible...my grandfather run tests on hydrogen combustion right after the second world war for Mercedes.

The question here is why...this doesn't increase range, makes handling easier, reduces cost or removes the issue with combustion and exhaust management. An ice engine also isn't all that great for a lot of big machinery simply because you need to power so many different things that only badly works with ice.

Plus.. its hilariously inefficiency to burn hydrogen.

You either go fuel cell to work with hydrogen or battery so you can get rid of that high pressure hydrogen or stay with synthetic fuels that will just like that run on any old engine and still are more or less co2 neutral.

There usually is lots of downtime where is stops for loading and unloading.

However even if that doesn't work a synthetic fuel would be far easier to handle.

Especially since having hydrogen around isn't necessary without problems in itself.

Also a lot of big engines really benefit form a hybrid approach because at that size a lot of power goes into auxiliary systems and those dont run well of diesel engines.

Cooking oil and diesel aren't that different. Lots of diesels can run on bio oil. The main issue is seals and hoses and nothing else.

Hydrogen on the other hand most definitely is.

What a dump idea. Either go battery, fuel cell or synthetic.

Anything else is just crazy.

You aren't the cause an because of you she knows whats dangerous and how to survive.

Even in winter people can survive some time outdoors with proper gear and knowledge!

Yeah comparing installed power to used work.. slow clap.. Watt and Joule are properly rotating in their graves.

You only need to recharge whatever is used and that isn't all that much more than currently provided by the net.

Plus

Those 500kW are also just peak power and will only be required for a few minutes per charging cycle. 500kW flat would charge even an EQS in less than 12 minute from 0 to 100 while in reality you never will see a flat 500kW consumption.

In the end those 2000 500kW chargers will maybe pull half at peak power and that only for a few minutes per day distributes over thousands of square kilometers.

Because no one will need that much one location.

Did you understand what it means to exchange more than one car quickly?

The problem is not making batteries exchangeable, not problem is making economical.

Lets play a numbers game. Lets assume you want to exchange 5 car batteries per hour? How fast do you need to charge them and how many do you need minimum?

Now 5 cars isn't even fast, you would want to actually exchange them faster to have a real advantage over fast chargers.

If you want to do more cars per hour but charge them significantly slower you have to store more batteries.. so half the speed, double the numbers.. but that ain't even slow.. slow would be maybe ten times slower so ten times the batteries.

Yep.. read it.. a number of time even before you wrote it.

If you want to exchange faster you need more power, or a LOT more batteries.

Compared to what big machinery needs? No.

Companies regularly pull MW out of the net .

You might not want to hear it but that answer was answered about 5 years ago and since then a LOT of people are focusing on building manufacturing resources.

A few minutes that are easily offset by the fact that i only need to visit a gas station to check tire pressure..

Significantly more complex and has even bigger power requirements.

And batteries are pretty expensive parts that you have to have in storage.

Plus.. it will limit how you can build cars for literally decades.

Dude we have several 350kW stations close by. 500 kW isn't that much more effectively

Thats already happening, my local ford dealer has a gas station, two DC chargers, 4 AC chargers and a restaurant

So? What's the problem with that? You aren't going to pull a few MW out of the low voltage net in any case

A few kW isn't enormous.. lol..

You can pull enormous amounts of powe out of the middle voltage powe nets if they are set up properly.

The issue here is that the current infrastructure was juuust good enough to support what is required and now needs modernization anyway.

Trees are much faster, they only need to store what's actually there.

A matrix only works better when its full.

Of course its way easier to understand
