I spent 4 years managing R&D projects at one of the worlds largest wind turbine manufacturers. The only reaction to this contraption that I can muster is a bemused chuckle. If you could manage to get 20% uptime out of this thing, you’d be lucky.

That looks horrifically inefficient and like a maintenance nightmare.

This. It’s more Russian psyops, designed to sow discord and distrust. And it’s working.

Russia makes statement designed to erode trust in American institutions

Uhh so you believe Gates is likely speaking based on a briefing he received from some qualified experts that you agree probably work for his foundation yet you believe his warning shouldn’t really be taken too seriously because he didn’t mention his experts by name? That’s what it seems like you’re saying. Hell that’s…

Every now and then, very rarely, I visit Jalopnik and learn something. This was one of those fleeting moments.

I agree that this is one of the most obvious Crack Pipe entries ever seen here. Way too much money for a bike that was not really worth the $14,500.00 when it was new and it truly is not worth 82% of its 1999 MSRP now.

As cool as this is, if I was ever going to buy a Bimota, it would have to be something with hub steering.

It might be on paper the most expensive “house” or HOME. But in reality, what this is a club, or larger family retreat. Like a perfect pad for a country’s diplomat group, where multiple families come here and enjoy it. Say a middle eastern prince’ family vacation home where a few of them share it and come when they…

Sounds like a waste of time and money. But it’s their time and money, so more power to them.

This house screams nouveau riche deafeningly loud.

The article should be reinforced with brute knowledge

You wouldn’t use the WRC snow tires in anything other than standing snow as they are an extremely aggressive tread with large studs which would be ripped out on anything other than snow (a big issue on some of the warmer editions of rally Sweden when the stages can be gravel at times).

You can go to hell with your witchcraft!

Cool to see the process. It shows just how inefficient flatheads are though. The exploding charge takes a while to push the cylinder down though the power stroke.

Definitely mesmerizing to watch...

Cut them some slack, they already have most advanced practical and market friendly electric car that also leads in many technical aspects and manages to be faster most exotics and fun to drive for luxury sedan price. What have you done in your life?

How about a louvered panel offset from the trailer side? The louvers could be fixed (cheaper), or flexible (allowing them to close for better aero). The louvers could redirect the pressure, resulting in a vertical force on the louvers to counteract the moment from the pressure on the side.

Based off of the location of those metal rectangles (what are those?) when they take off, compared to the location of them when the drone crashes, it looks like the drone lost connection to the controller. It then decided to fly back towards “home” in order to try and recover the connection. Unfortunately, the reason…

“All we need are machines that can pull CO2 out of the atmosphere and then break the carbon out of it and store it in solid form as giant carbon bricks.”
