  1. Did you say global warming? Water vapor is a greenhouse gas equal to CO2 according to theory. There is on average 50 times as much in the atmosphere as CO2. There are still no proposals for draining the oceans. Water vapor is not persistent? According to the theory water vapor's lack of persistence in the atmosphere (rain) means WV only counts for heating, not for evaporating more water vapor. Which is absurd because heating causes evaporation. The theory is bunk.

  2. Motors used in cars are currently in the 90% to 95% efficiency range. Getting a 37% motor up to that level is going to be very difficult. BTW the experiments should be done in CAD. The materials are well enough understood to make that the most useful option. At least until efficiency is improved to the 80% range - if that is even possible.

  3. 70 times faster charging with the same infrastructure means almost 5,000 times the losses. There is no free lunch. The losses are lower when the energy you pump is liquid vs electric.

  4.  @stephendoherty8291  Statistically such events happen. "We are shutting down civilization for a week. Enjoy."

  5. AC motors don't use magnets - generally. They use electromagnets.

  6. Water vapor is the #1 GHG according to theory. According to theory it does 3/4s of the heating. If you go by atmospheric proportions, water vapor does about 98% of the heating.

  7. Solar - 22% Wind 36%. That adds up to 58%. Where does the rest come from? Hydro? That seems unlikely.
