masonfreeparty2 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 what happened to the compressed air powered car? ive seen some people mocking it saying it would require alot of energy to supply the compressed air but im not so sure it would...any views on this?

I never heard of this one. Looks like the man died in 2016. Sounds very similar to the idea that I thought I came up with in the technology thread. https://www.greencarcongress.com/2016/06/20160627-mdi.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleP Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I read somewhere that China is having to schedule planned power cuts due to shortage of electricity created by increased demand of electricity to charge cars. lol Is it coming near you? How are we going to cope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where will the electricity to charge the cars come from? How will you charge your car if you don't have a garage or off-road parking? Now for niche vehicles it works a treat. Converting things like buses and Post Office vans to electric would work well to reduce air pollution. Heavens, I might even buy an electric motorbike. But everybody and his mother driving electric vehicles? No. The real problem with buying electric cars isn't just the fact they cost a small fortune, but the cost of buying, and maintaining a large trailer type vehicle to store your 800 miles long extension lead in! Just imagine, you live in Barnstaple in Devon and you decide to drive to Aberdeen, but once you get there, your missus back in Devon decides to unplug your lead to plug the vacuum in, meanwhile you're 430 miles away wondering why the leccy has gorn orf? Will this be the next thing to help save the planet? THE ALL ELECTRIC PORTABLE TOILET FOR BUSY PEOPLE ON THE MOVE!

DaleP Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) The charging stations are already obsolete. Toshiba has developed an Electric Vehicles (EVs) that runs without plug-in charging. Unlike the current solar panel models, the film is flexible, light and no need for any rare earth material, and unaffected by the shortage of semiconductors. Part 1 https://www.toshiba-clip.com/en/detail/p=3289 Part2 https://www.toshiba-clip.com/en/detail/p=3294 Separate from the above but somewhat similar, I found this while searching and it is rather worrying. Do you like the look of it? They say 'Human motion' but who knows they might switch it to 'emotion' then you know they will be torturing us to create more emotion. You will be pedalling in a gym to generate electricity. Which film was that? There was that black British actor.... https://www.mdpi.com/2673-706X/2/1/6/htm Edited November 15, 2022 by DaleP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sit down, Waldo Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Family member has acquired a new Tesla. 1st motorway trip & estimated range was enough to get home, but only just. On the return journey the was a charger not far off the motorway. Rolled up, plugged in...quick charge takes 20 mins, so they went for a coffee. When they returned there were 5 Tesla's queued up behind them & a 6th approaching. Imagine being at the back of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compressed air/gas would work and is ideal where emissions are a sensitive issue such as in an enclosed space like Antarctica, tunnels and underground facilities, installation of charging centers is no more different from laying electrical cables as it is for piping, which is why the plumbing trade was so crucial to the electrical trade in the beginning of electrification, the main problem is containment of the gas and the amount of energy available from the container mounted in the vehicle, for anywhere else you can not beat diesel/petrol for energy output, hydrogen is the most practical solution and is inexhaustible, my opinion is that you can forget all of the above as hydrogen is the future whether it is burned directly or fed through hydrogen fuel cells and converted to electrical output.

Grumpy Owl Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 This used to be called "Economy7": Electric car owners urged to switch to EV-only energy tariff ahead of expected bill rise Quote Drivers of electric vehicles are being urged to switch to an EV-friendly energy tariff ahead of expected rises in utility bills this April. Nationwide home charge point installer Smart Home Charge has found that those charging their electric vehicles at home could save close to £600 a year by switching to a more economical tariff. It comes following Ofgem’s announcement that household utility bills would rise again from April 1, while the Government’s winter-related rebate is also expected to come to an end during the same period. from: https://www.expressandstar.com/news/motors/2023/02/28/electric-car-owners-urged-to-switch-to-ev-only-energy-tariff-ahead-of-expected-bill-rise/ The article doesn't mention if a 'smart' meter is required to take advantage of this tariff, but you can bet that it is likely one of the 'conditions', and another way of 'nudging' people into smart meter uptake in order to 'save money'. Quote Electric car owners are currently some of the few able to switch between different tariffs, with Octopus Energy’s Intelligent Octopus currently the leader and ‘most competitive’, according to Smart Home Charge. “Although we could see prices rise on all tariffs, including EV friendly ones, the off-peak price is always likely to be much more favourable than a typical standard tariff, so it’s a simple way to immediately reduce the cost to charge an EV. Plus, you can even reduce the cost of using your washing machine or dishwasher by setting a delay so they operate when the off-peak price kicks in.” Which sounds almost exactly the same way that Economy7 "dual phase" meters work, where you have a 'day rate' and a 'night rate' - the day rate is typically at a higher price than standard, but the night-rate is then lower. I used to have this at my old property, which had no mains gas supply, and had storage heaters for heating and an immersion heater for hot water. The storage heaters and immersion heater would come on during the night to take advantage of the cheaper night rates, and I did used to programme the washing machine to operate during those times. But I remember reading somewhere a while back that the plan was to phase out Economy7 tariffs, it sounds now like they just simply want to 'rebrand' it in order to suck in EV owners, yes it may end up slightly cheaper to recharge your expensive EV overnight, but you still end up paying a higher daytime rate for your regular electricity usage.

SimonTV Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 https://vidmaxviral.com/video/218066-video-shows-the-moment-several-ev-cars-burst-into-flames-because-of-salt-water-on-cargo-ship-ship-ends-up-sinking-in-the-atlantic The Felicity Ace, a cargo vessel carrying an unknown number of luxury cars, has sunk in the Atlantic Ocean after a fire broke out onboard. The Panama-flagged ship was being towed after a salvage team had extinguished the fire, but it sank around 400 kilometres off the Azores, according to the ship's manager and the Portuguese navy. The 200-meter-long vessel had been en route from Germany to the United States before the blaze occurred last month. All 22 crew members were evacuated by Portugal's Air Force before the ship was left to drift for several days in the mid-Atlantic. Ocean-going tugboats equipped with firefighting equipment had been deployed to cool the hull of the ship. Although it is unclear how many luxury cars were onboard, the Felicity Ace was capable of carrying at least 4,000 vehicles. The ship was transporting both electric and non-electric vehicles, according to Portuguese authorities. Authorities suspect that the blaze may have been caused by the lithium batteries used in electric vehicles, but an investigation into the exact cause of the fire is still underway. The sinking of the Felicity Ace outside Portuguese waters has raised concerns about potential pollution, as the ship was carrying 2,000 metric tons of fuel and oil. The Portuguese navy confirmed the sinking of the vessel and is monitoring the area for any signs of pollution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
