A fuel cell (again, I'm simplifying wildly) takes a source of hydrogen, oxygen from the air, and chemically combines the two to produce a flow of electrons (electricity) and water. Fuel cells were used on the Apollo spacecraft, since they were a great way to get both electricity and have a source of drinking water,…

Each year, high school and college students participate in the CyberAuto Challenge, where they join automakers, policy wonks, and engineers to explore the technical side of cars. It's organized by Battelle, a non-profit R&D group that focuses on security and connected vehicles, and it's been running for going on three…

You are right around the corner from my childhood home. Solid Five Guys right there, though I usually go for the Chipotle on the opposite corner of that strip.

Here is a list of cars that have more power than the Ferrari 488 GTB

This looks to be levelling out.

Acceleration - 10/10

"The concept's design marks a radical shift in direction for Toyota, taking the "fun-to-drive" qualities of its cars to a higher level."

It's not a particularly new thing. Lamborghini did it with the Miura at the 1965 Turin Auto show, so we're talking 50 years at least.

Certainly not.

It's legally required on all cars produced after 2007(ish). My base model Mazda 2 has it, I'm sure the BMW M4 has it too.

When I'm driving around in the boonies in a rental car at 11:30 at night, trying to find my hotel in BFE Nebraska, dimming the dash makes a huge difference in actually watching the road. It depends a lot on the dash design. My Mazda 2 doesn't need to be dimmed as the gauges are all red, and thus don't mess with night…

And?

Current cell phone charging iterations have quite a lot of heat conversion loss. Scale it up to a 20+ amp, 240V application and you'd likely have a lot of car fires. Cool tech, but not ideal for the application.

That is one of the best turning radius descriptors I've read in a while. Thank you.

I like to make up a crockpot pulled pork. Just throw a pork shoulder ($1-2 per pound) in to the crockpot with some salt and pepper (plenty, it's a big chunk of meat), set it on low in the morning and leave it there until you get home from work. Once you get home, heat up your biggest cast iron skillet, pull your pork…

Every time a gated manual is snicked into gear, an angel get it's wings. The want is strong.

It's really not horribly different than an Oil Pipelines, which carry very high positive pressures for years at a time, and those are very well understood and established. Also, the original Hyperloop paper addresses emergency considerations very well.
