Jesus Christ, man. Calm the hell down.

As close to an army tank as possible, short of actually joining the army.

Typical liberal website, intentionally misunderstanding the message.

I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not.

I wonder if it’s difficult to keep something painted with vantablack clean, considering that every speck of dust resting on it is thousands of times more reflective than the surface color.

He doesn’t know how to use the three seashells!

Man, I totally read that post in Sam Elliott’s voice and it was almost a perfect match. Then I read it in Denis Leary’s voice and it got even better.

That is a great analogy and illustrates your explanation perfectly.

Out of the hundred or so replies, this is the one that helped me understand the logic that I was unable to process. Thank you.

I understand what you’re saying, and I appreciate the measured responses here. I also understood what the GM engineer was saying. But my problem is this: He is ignoring the parasitic power loss (supercharger pulley) necessary to generate the supercharged hp gain, but still crediting the net hp gain achieved through…

Ha!

Yes, you are totally correct. That 100hp is multiplied by the supercharger into more than 100hp, whereas an electric motor attached to the crank would still add 100hp.

Haha! Yes, adding a 100 horsepower motor to a 755 horsepower motor will result in an 855 horsepower engine. Whether you add the 100 hp by connecting an electric motor to the supercharger or by adding a 100hp electric motor directly to the crankshaft.

“It makes 755 HP from the LT5 engine, whose supercharger consumes about 100 HP at full boost. “So,” Lee said, “our engine is really making 855 HP at the crank, since 100 HP is used to drive the supercharger.”

Is that front tire mounted backwards?

Put it in H!

300 hectares on a single tank of kerosene.

That sounds fun.

Your ‘simple explanation’ is still too complicated for me, so I’m just gonna go play with this stick I found.

I thought that dude was playing a didgeridoo for a moment. Then I realized it was a huge stack of Busch Lights.
