flywheels are nice for instantaneous storage e.g. hard breaking . but if you have a capacitor, you can already charge as fast as you want, really. The capacity of automotive flywheels isn't huge. the one in the porsche gt3r is 16" in diameter, idles at 24k rpm and is fully "charged" at 40krpm it's has a capacity of…

Which is not to say it's bad, the electron mobility of capacitors is awesome relative to chemical storage, hence the charge rate.

64 watt hours per kilogram. that's ~2/3 - half the density of LiON.

MSRP E30 M3 $36,000 in 1988 -> today 71k

RE: the supply problem.

my Z4 and in fact all gen 1 Z4s the x5 and so on are made in spartanburg ga

Actually AF 358 is a pretty good example of evacuation under less than ideal circumstances in well under the limits from an a340-300. Fire is a really excellent motivator for reducing lollygagging. It seems entirely likely under similar circumstances that an a380 can achieve similar results.

Put a diesel in this, and we'll talk.

>> Ka-50 relies primarily on its small stature, agility, and speed to survive enemy encounters.

Because the m4 and the 3 and 4 series in general are wider, longer and as a result better planted. Drive a m135i vs an m3 today and it shows.

It took roughly 60 years (starting in 1950) and $50 billion to get this far. it's estimated to be another $140 billion in current dollars through 2100.

that engine is made in finland...

The road is owned by the state. the developers have a 50 year concession to operate it.

If one designs partially open window inlets as naca ducts then they can be low pressure rather than high pressure inlets. given car designers know how to do low pressure inlets it's mostly a question of, having driving around with the windows open as a priority, using convection to preclude buffering and validating…

There is a simple solution, which is simply increase the penalty until people stop doing it.

providing a 220v 30amp circuit for a level-2 charger is frankly a pretty trivial exercise. it seems like an incredibly simple consideration to include one in the garage.

when they change the TOS you can typically discontinue the plan with no consequences.
