The Rabbit Hole

I read the excerpts. Must have really ruffled a few feathers!

I didn’t bother to watch the awards as I never have and probably never will but I’m really glad you have posted this because it certainly gave me a few minutes of laughter. :grinning:

This technology will certainly shake up the EV manufacturers, namely all of them :face_with_monocle:
I suspect it also has possibilities to challenge the energy suppliers.

In the EV world Musk has already commenced work on the largest battery factory in the U.S. and perhaps the world and China has started work on the same.

There has been combat for a while now between advocates of flow cell batteries being the future in place of re-chargeable Nickel Metal Hydride technology. This adds a new dimension to the party. I saw a statement of ( I believe it was cents and not pence) the bi-ION electrolyte costing 10 cents per litre to produce, which gives governements plenty of scope to tax heavily and of course depending on how energy packed the system really is it could become the the preferred technology for some EV manufacturers.

Interesting times ahead.

He reported on the subliminal SEME (search engine manipulation effect). Biased search engine results can produce shifts in opinions of undecided voters by up to 80% in some demographic groups.

735 volts sound much more believable.

I can’t believe he got away with that - brilliant!

Running is soooo bad for you then! :sweat_smile: (you lazy fat arses!)

Dr Axe agrees lol

Do the opposite of what they print and push ! :wink:

Marathon runners - look sick.
Vegans - look and are sick

The Food Pyramid - makes you sick

etc

Yes agree, they don’t look good. That is because they have really low body fat and combine that with being out in the elements, means ropey! I run between 5 and 10k, outdoors only in good weather which means most of the year indoors. I use Zwift a lot. I just did an 18k time trial cycling in 30 mins, average HR 176! I cycle up to 40ish k in one go.

Vegans miss a shed load of stuff, they replace essential saturated fats with vegetable oils (and probably hydrogenated too) which are full of omega 6 which is inflammatory. Saturated fat also is a carrier for all the fat soluble vitamins - D, E, K2 so lack of means even more inflammation. All this vegan trend will end in tears. Expect a whole generation of very ill people in a few years.

According to the UK national grid … electrical power is generated at 22,000 volts.
It is then stepped-up to around 400kV (I thought it was 440kV) for transmission around the country.

The high voltages are used to reduce the currents flowing and thereby reduce heating losses. :nerd_face:

Yes of course. My mistake, it is stepped down to 10kV at local level. :slightly_smiling_face:

…then to 220v for residential consumption. (we use 120v at that level)

Here’s an interesting history of high voltage transmission lines.

(The US now has some lines operating around 500kV.)

Quite so! Heat loss is directly proportional to the square of the current.

Power = Voltage x Current

Raise the voltage by a factor of 10, you can lower the current by a factor of 10 and transmit the same power.

Lower the current by a factor of 10 and you lower the heat loss by a factor of 100.

(The birds don’t really care what the potential [voltage] of the wire is…as long as they touch only one wire.)
