You can milk anything with nipples udders Greg....

In short, they don't. But if I've been playing by the rules and you come along and try to change the rules and shift the model in your favor my instinct is going to be to lobby against it until I can come up with a way to compete.

I wrote one super long post that spiraled out of control. I broke it up and had the following thought on who actually the goose and gander are. This is more of a Pandora's box if you already have a stake in the game. The only clear winners are the lawyers and Elon Musk who doesn't have a network already setup. …

kinda, but I think that you are missing the complexity of the issue.

Nope, same system.

When moronic governments stop dumping funding into perpetual motion machines. The last paragraph kept the article worthwhile, I have no idea why the scientists would mount this on a car. Anyone who says this has a practical application on a propelled vehicle needs to read a thermodynamics textbook. 60microAmps @…

depending on how it is controlled:

Octane or AKI, anti knock index is the fuel's ability to not detonate upon compression. Detonations in an engine cylinder cause shockwaves which can fracture, or cause other damage to a cylinder, piston, crank or any other engine part resisting the explosion. knocking, is a pinging noise indicating little explosions…

too much engine oil provides excessive resistance in your crank case. Instead of your crank shaft spinning in air and the oil being sprayed by the oil pump, it is splashing the oil and beating it to a froth. Too much oil can get on the cylinder walls creating a poor seal/ extra resistance to cylinder pumping. The…

Grab a bottle of beer, the force you apply to twist the cap is torque. How quickly you twist it and get that cap off is power.
