  1. A Unionized Tesla Workforce Could Benefit All Parties

    Because the union made them an offer they couldn't refuse?

  2. A Unionized Tesla Workforce Could Benefit All Parties

    I don't see unions benefiting company, employee, customer or investor.

  3. Robert Reich goes after Elon Musk, again.

    Russia's Ginni coefficient is 37.5 whilst Canada's is 33.3. The US is more comparable to capitalist strongholds like Iran, Senegal and Haiti

  4. Sandy's rant. lol. I love this man.

    Government is an evil for sure but nevertheless a necessary evil. North Korea has a government but it is more evil than most in the west. Problem with journalism is that I can remember the days when there was some integrity. But even so the first thing that comes to mind when I write that is...

  5. Sandy's rant. lol. I love this man.

    There are two examples of contradiction in terms in this post: "decent investigative journalists" and "valuable government"

  6. Sandy's rant. lol. I love this man.

    Sandy needs to put a six pack in a cooler take it out beneath a nice shade tree with a copy of Atlas Shrugged and relax while he reads the book and drinks the beer. Plus ca change and all that. PS: No, he doesn't have to read the whole speech.

  7. The curse of 'white oil': electric vehicles' dirty secret

    Yes and the losses are proportional to the square of the current so the obvious approach to transmission is to get voltage up thereby reducing current. The reasonTesla and Westinghouse beat out Edison is that this is relatively easy to do with AC and, with the technology of the time, very...

  8. Tesla AI Day

    But closed at 706 and change. Reason cited: AI

  9. Tesla's AI Day Event Did A Great Job Convincing Me They're Wasting Everybody's Time

    No, no. It finds an emergency vehicle and crashes into that.

  10. Tesla's AI Day Event Did A Great Job Convincing Me They're Wasting Everybody's Time

    The only thing that scares me about Tesla AI is the fact that a lot of the stock price seems to be based on the potential future revenue from it.

  11. The curse of 'white oil': electric vehicles' dirty secret

    Are you the only one thinking of this sort of thing? No, of course not. The people that built that experimental line are thinking of this sort of thing. Is it practical at this stage in its evolution.? No, not by a long shot but by experimenting they may learn something which will bring it to...

  12. The curse of 'white oil': electric vehicles' dirty secret

    I got interested in this and a little more digging revealed that it is not only impractical. It is impossible. You cannot shut down an aluminum smelter for more than a couple of hours (with out damaging the pots) but what you can do is feed more or less bauxite for load leveling! I think that's...

  13. The curse of 'white oil': electric vehicles' dirty secret

    It is doable. It is just 10 - 15 times more expensive, much more difficult to maintain and repair, has half the service life of an overhead system, requires active cooling... Looking to the future elimination of these lines by going to the more localized mini-grids seems more appealing. It's...

  14. The curse of 'white oil': electric vehicles' dirty secret

    Lithium definitely isn't abundant at 0.002% of the earth's crust relative to the 32 elements that are more abundant that it is (Including a couple of the rare earths). But it is abundant enough. It is easier to collect it from places where nature has concentrated it than it is to extract it...

  15. The curse of 'white oil': electric vehicles' dirty secret

    It is certainly going to be interesting to watch the evolution but don't expect things to happen to fast. Here's the situation with home rooftop solar: What happens is the sun comes up in the morning and starts to produce electricity. By noon (apparent noon that is i.e. 13:00 daylight time)...

  16. S-Curve EVA adoption video

    The article seems to miss the critcal fact that the adoption curve is the integral under the bell curve which produces (drum roll) an S curve.

  17. How ‘switched reluctance motors’ are being brought back, mainly to advance electric mobility

    I take it to mean there is a continuum of designs which are neither all one or all the other. The diagram comes from AC Motor Control and Electrical Vehicle Applications by Kwang Hee Nam, CRC Press 2019. There's a hell of a lot of information in it but it is pretty dense. Checking on Amazon I...

  18. How ‘switched reluctance motors’ are being brought back, mainly to advance electric mobility

    You are confusing what you read here with an e-mail from your doctor.

  19. How ‘switched reluctance motors’ are being brought back, mainly to advance electric mobility

    I'd say it is potentially incorrect to describe it in any terms other than those used in the manual but as whatever it is it develops some reluctance torque I wouldn't be too concerned as long as it wasn't called an induction motor.

  20. How ‘switched reluctance motors’ are being brought back, mainly to advance electric mobility

    Perhaps this will help you with the terminology. It's been posted before. Clearly the motor Munro did a video on was interior type with the nabla (or maybe V) configuration (IIRC). Various motors have been used in EV, even, I think, a pure switched reluctance one. And manufacturers and...
