  1. I love your low key sense of humour. As a 75 y/o nerd who is somewhat "on the spectrum", I find the way you tackle subjects/ topics like this irresistable. I have, over the years, gotten myself bogged down in projects that seemed to be bottomless pits of time and ingenuity, so I can relate all too well. So it's quite a relief to know that I'm not the only crazy tinkerer on the planet.

  2. Its a shame how Australia is always 'first' to try the stupidest things!

  3. It's a joy to have a sound system that can reproduce 30 Hz fundamentals! I love it!

  4. Another popular hydrogen storage method is conversion to ammonia. The technology to do this, and reverse it, makes energy transport via ammonia quite viable, as well as purely for energy storage.

  5. Sorry, but this session is so puerile, I reckon it's on a par with a ten year old's social studies project. It contains so many silly errors, particularly errors of omission, and out of date info that it's almost comical. It's basically an ad for Switzerland. The deprecation of battery storage is ridiculous. Electro-chemical batteries can respond in milliseconds!

  6. In Australia we have local, state and federal elections run by the same body. A vote requires in-person attendance and identification by home address on an electoral roll. Voting is by secret paper ballot. All elections are carried out on a Saturday so most people can easily attend, as voting is compulsory. Postal ballots are allowed, and pre-poll voting is also allowed, but all are strictly monitored. The system here is pretty secure.

  12. At around 30 minutes, talking about dreaming, and how dreaming allows or enables us to be in totally unrealistic situations, and yet not be surprised, is very interesting. Sam then goes on to say that this experience is very ephemeral and obviously invented by our brains and that we seem to lose the ability to see how bizarre it is, being in such a situation. Having recently had cataract surgery, both eyes, and now emerging into a conscious world where everything has gone visually from 'standard definition' or worse, to 4K or better, I now realise how my world has ever so gradually been restricting and removing me visually from reality over decades. The experience for me in this 'New World' is almost shocking, surprising, and at times overwhelming, even though I not only expected it but looked forward to it. The sensory deprivation I had been experiencing (until the last few years when I became painfully aware of it) was so profound that I had become quite withdrawn, depressed and sensing the limits imposed by mortality, that the idea of suicide did not seem too ridiculous, despite having no intention at all to apply it. As one ages and the senses all deteriorate at the same time, one is confronted more and more with the awareness of consciousness as the last bastion of awareness, of being human. As you retreat more and more into a 'cocoon' of your body's own making due to the gradual shutdown of the senses, and having to rely more and more on the support of others, you are confronted increasingly with the reality that this fundamental 'awareness', 'concsciousness' or whatever it is, is all you truly possess. The loss of even that eventually seems to become acceptable. Meanwhile, I'm blown away by my new 4K world, and enjoying, like a little kid, every moment of it!

  22. ​@conniewojahn6445 my guess is that the pressure from the growing tumour would stimulate brain cells in the auditory cortex to fire, simulating the LF sound. I occasionally hear something similar in the varying symphony of my tinnitus...

  23. ​​​ @Growmap  I left school in the mid 1960's and started working for our national TV broadcaster. Back then all TV monitors were CRT's and I found it quite painful being in any of the studio control rooms or the central apparatus /Master Control room with a dozen or so monitors squealing away at 15,625 Hz. After a couple of years, I realised it wasn't a problem any more because my brain had tuned it out. I could still hear it, but since I had no choice if I wanted the job, it seems my brain just installed a filter!

  39. Let's assume Ukraine are silly enough to do a 'deal' with Trump on critical minerals, and the US won't provide support as a NATO signatory. I guess Putin would just wait until the mine and processing plant were established, then walk in and take over! So smart, these Americans!
    13
  40. In regard to power generation and the potential problem of poles and wires "blowing down", I think its better to refer to the solution as being one of 'distributed' rather than "decentralised" generation. If the generation is distributed, the number of interconnecting paths to route energy around a fault increases tremendously and disaster can be averted. Decentralising reduces the number of sources, significantly increasing the risk of a single transmission line failure event resulting in disaster. My preference is to mandate and subsidise rooftop solar generation backed up by home and community battery storage which virtually completely eliminates the possibility of this type of network failure.

  41. Very, it seems!

  58. The range of charge/discharge is relatively small and should be settable by you, and would have an infinitesimal effect on battery life. But could make you money or at least reduce your cost of charging. To my mind, it would be a good tradeoff to make your battery available in return for free charging!

  68. You'll all be pleased to know that, at 77yo, since my wife is working 3 jobs to keep us afloat since I was retrenched a few years ago, it is not even worth my while applying for the age pension, it would be worth only a few bucks a week. So, instead, I work in my wife's business which makes my situation even worse, but at least goes hallway to paying the rent. The pollies stole our pensions decades ago. Maybe we should divorce so we can afford to live together...
    8
  69. I just want my pension that successive govts stole from when they hijacked all the taxation-derived funds for their own princely retirement system with no asset or income tests.

  92. I have strong suspicions about Trump's level of wealth. I wouldn't be surprised if he was technically insolvent.

  93. It'll take more than luck. It's impossible! The conventional car companies have to each find a niche market and concentrate on that. Tesla has the mainstream tied up with a big ribbon!

  121.  @sag3nod  so if they abuse this power, that's ok with you?
    5
  122. Hydrogen is not a 'fuel source', it's a method of energy storage. It's presence in flue gases does not make it as 'abundant' as you make out either, more that it shows a failing in the energy efficiency of the processes involved.
    5
  123. Not to be too fussed about it, I was well past 'retirement' age, but I lost my job as a service tech, partly because I was doing too good a job. Sure, not always, and not perfect, but I took great pride in giving our customers excellent quality service. But it cost too much, and other members of the team could get the 'job' done much quicker and cheaper than me. C'est la vie.

  124. ​ @elrumcajs777  I'm sure they're a lot easier to use if the car has steer-by-wire like the Cybertruck where the steering wheel is non-linear in operation and only needs 3/4 of a turn, so you can keep your hands on the wheel the whole time.

  182. I get really annoyed listening to idiots like this who apparently have never heard of batteries or grid-forming inverters pontificating about the need for huge, expensive spinning machines, when anyone with half a brain knows that intermittent sources like wind and solar need their energy to be buffered by some form of storage. The original way of doing this was by using pumped hydro, but with the incredible reduction in the cost of Lithium ion batteries, they have become the obvious choice for providing not only buffering, but also firming (frequency and phase control) of the stored energy from these intermittent sources. Anyone who uses intermittency of renewable energy sources as an excuse to continue using coal fired power, or even gas peakers, is merely a shill for the fossil fuel industries!

  208. Just horrendous. This needs plenty of air and sunshine to get rid of the stench of corruption!

  209. It makes sense, once money is no problem, to prevent bottlenecking through supply constraint, whether accidental OR intentional... Musk is not one to waste money reinventing the wheel, but he us also good at planning for contingencies.

  237. Did I miss it, or was lifetime not mentioned? Presumably, the fissile material is in the form of solid rods, and these require regular replacement in a 'normal' reactor, something like every couple of years or less. I do not recall hearing anything about fuel lifetime or replacement intervals. This must have a big impact on running cost and/or lifetime cost of thus type of reactor system, surely?

  312. Lomborg confidently states increased CO² levels are a good thing, but recent research indicates that there are also significant drawbacks: "Rising CO²'s effect on crops could also harm human health. “We know unequivocally that when you grow food at elevated CO2 levels in fields, it becomes less nutritious,” notes Samuel Myers, principal research scientist in environmental health at Harvard University. “[Food crops] lose significant amounts of iron and zinc—and grains [also] lose protein.” Myers and other researchers have found atmospheric CO2 levels predicted for mid-century—around 550 parts per million—could make food crops lose enough of those key nutrients to cause a protein deficiency in an estimated 150 million people and a zinc deficit in an additional 150 million to 200 million. (Both of those figures are in addition to the number of people who already have such a shortfall.) A total of 1.4 billion women of child-bearing age and young children who live in countries with a high prevalence of anemia would lose more than 3.8 percent of their dietary iron at such CO2 levels, according to Meyers." - from a Scientific American article published Jan 2018.

  318. Inverter whine (Not motor exactly, although it seems to emanate from the motors). The electric trains in Sydney (Australia) generate ridiculous levels of inverter whine. Particularly the older rolling stock. Very intrusive. Yeah, not a pleasant 'tune'!

  319. I think it's about the nanotubes having oodles of space around them to soak up the Lithium.

  320. That'll show the gubbermint...

  321. Apple realised the future is in autonomous driving, but they don't have the capability to get there themselves. So they threw in the towel. Xiaomi will find out in due course.

    3
  339. ​ @pauld3327  the motors get hot when they are doing work. A few percent of inefficiency means heat available to be pumped into the cabin.

  341. FSD is being trained by human drivers. It will end up as good as every good driver who ever trained it. It will be, by definition, auperhuman!

  342. If you have a concrete verandah or porch, consider digging a lined well underneath it for rain water storage. I've seen it done a couple of times.
    3
  343. You're getting pure unfiltered bro SMR here!
    3
  344. The higher potential energy of liquid hydrocarbon fuels is balanced by the MUCH lower efficiency of conversion to mechanical energy. Add to this the particulate and NOx emissions and EV's are really giving ICE a run for its money, biofuels notwithstanding.
    3
  345. A pity it takes so long.

  346. Did ICE cars pay for theirs? I thought not.
    3
  347.  @ozbloke74  or added some "creamer".

  348. I'd rather know there is a potential problem. Plus, comparing these two is apples vs oranges. Not fair at all.

  389. Since Musk purchased and routed Twitter, YouTube has become much less fussed about profanity, for some inexplicable reason. One of my favourite pro-Musk channels began using the f-word liberally and appears to not even be de-monetised anymore! Tbh, Sabine could have unblessed the whole lot and nothing untoward would happen nowadays. Thank you Elon.
    2
  390.  @edwaggoner7403  since it works best in areas of low humidity and clear skies, I doubt that the panels would be much good at reducing the humidity of the local atmosphere to any worthwhile degree. Since they are mounted outside, unless the working fluid can be reduced below the interior dew point, I can't see the system being very effective at reducing internal humidity levels either. But as a booster for a a conventional heat pump, I think it could be a great asset.

  441. This will age like finest wine!
    2
  442.  @tleo3333  knowing Tesla, (I don't, really...) they're watching with intense interest!
    2
  443. Some if us wanted to keep riding horses...
    2
  444. ​@GermanGuy007 my dessert last night was damn cold, that's for sure! Ice cream is like that...
    2
  445. ... and the odd youtuber. Very odd...
    2
  446. Hear, hear!
    2
  447. It seems to me the requirements for a short trip duration VTOL craft are very much different to a long distance aircraft which would most likely still require wings and runways for takeoff, cruise and landing if electric or even hydrogen powered. VTOL plus long distance operation seems a long way off to me.
    2
  448.  @tilapiadave3234  PV is cheaper. End of story.
    2
  449. ​ @victoriamatthewman2707 haha

  450. Tuncurry IS definitely the Paris of Australia! And the best part is, it's hardly changed in the past 40 years! It's like a little part of Australia that time forgot. Lovely!
    2
  451. He's on fire!
    2
  452. Wow. So Scummy!
    2
  453. It should be disbanded forthwith!$
    2
  454. Yeah! Nah...
    2
  455. If you look up, you'll see reality filtered by the atmosphere.
    2
  456. When it comes to support for Ukraine, politicians have too many 'partners' to satisfy. People power bypasses political bs.
    2
  457. Mike West is pretty good too, and they're besties, which is nice...
    2
  458. Nope, rooftop solar and home/community batteries will make it even cheaper!
    2
  459. They're safe. Let's go!
    2
  460. Same here! Goin' places!
    2
  461. ​@tonysu8860 it was stated that the small carry-bag sized demo system can produce 6 litres per hour. Sounds pretty bloody efficient to me!
    2
  462. Ask Farzhad.
    2
  463. ​ @asdfssdfghgdfy5940 in 10 feet of fresh water, I'd agree, but it's km below the surface, and corrosive salt water. So no.
    2
  464. He's been saying all along he wants out of politics. A pity he didn't mention THAT to his constituents before the last election!
    2
  465. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
    2
  466. Leave Dan alone!
    2
  467. Ditto!
    2
  468. First time in a while for me!

  469. ​@Phillip McNair why buy into stranded assets? That's a recipe for disaster.
    2
  470. Haha, yeah! If only...
    2
  471. Sam, take care with your kW and kWh's! You're mixing them up too much!
    2
  472. Ask the Koch Bro's!
    2
  473. True!
    2
  474. Neil's not THAT bad...
    2
  475. I thought he said "...turn the impossible into late", not "light"!
    2
  476.  @commuterbranchline8132  ..."until electric technology provides a viable alternative"... We're already there!
    2
  477. Is this guy even qualified to operate FSD Beta? Somehow, I doubt it. Whose car is it? Who was qualified by Tesla to carry out Beta testing? He's right, it's not ready for FSD. It's not running FSD, it's in LEARNING (Beta) mode, and he's effectively a teacher! And a pretty crap one, it seems!
    2
  478. Me too always informative and enjoyable!

  479. Dob in the bots, people!
    2
  480. IS killing us all. No Gunna required!

  481. I think you need to update yourself.
    2
  482. ​ @TheanHooYew but happy to have a 1,000 psi hydrogen bomb in the boot? Great trade!
    2
  483. ​ @OhSoddit but strangely, very few, if any, are Teslas!
    2
  484. ​ @incandescentwithrage yep, just satisfy all the wotifs, and Hydrogen is a great fuel. Until then, BEV is the way to go!
    2
  485. The subs won't, but the expenditure will!
    2
  486.  @uziquattro1083  your disgusting, vile, racist attacks via Google have driven him to resign. Excellent, good job! Next!
    2
  487. New sub! You speak good sense, from my broad but limited understanding of healthy eating! Much appreciated.
    2
  488. Enough already, LNP, BRING HIM HOME NOW!
    2
  489.  @jimgraham6722  couldn't have said it better myself. No, really.
    2
  490. However, latest generation molten salt based nuclear results in virtually no waste problem, plus the possibility of using high level waste from old plants for energy production!
    2
  491. Umm, regarding the 48V 'low voltage' power distribution. It's called "power over ethernet" (PoE) or similar. The power and control uses the same 2 wires, which are shared to all devices using a 'ring main' type of system. Power and control are, NOT separate as you implied.
    2
  492. But not as much as you think.
    2
  493. FWIW, crossed arms says it all... Feels SO threatened!
    2
  494. Toyoda's ego is killing the company.
    2
  495.  @thebigslicedcheese3867  except China...
    2
  496. It's happening.
    2
  497. Even more reason why Legacy should have adopted it already!
    2
  498. I'm a Greens voter, and we need Labor running the show! Jordan, pls stop shitting on us, we're among your greatest supporters!
    2
  499. I feel a bit the same way. I'm Aussie, btw.
    2
  500. Absolutely!
    2
  501. She's a real Baril of laughs!
    2
  502. Just make it part of the rego check. This is nuts!
    2
  503. True, Cybertruck will be out-of-this-world!
    2
  504.  @ps5hasnogames55  you have to be joking.
    2
  505. Laughing until (while?) I vomit.
    2
  506. Absolutely, he's been treated disgustingly by this (and the other!) gov't!
    2
  507. So sad and unnecessary. A friend of mine 'escaped' from SA after all his family members had been held up at gunpoint (and all miraculously survived). He realised it would just be a matter of time before one of them died. So they emigrated to Australia.
    2
  508. At least guns aren't as big an issue here. For schoolkids, I mean... All the crooks still have thrm, of course!
    2
  509. It's a bit of a no-brainer to use integrated PV into cladding. Imho, it should be mandated for all buildings requiring cladding!
    2
  510. Noise is a problem with ALL elwctric vehicles. They're WAY TOO QUIET!
    2
  511. He's SO proud of his work...
    2
  512. Yes/no/maybe.
    2
  513. ​​ @hyperturbotechnomike haha "very cold" : 5,500 kelvins!
    2
  514. It has panels built into the roof.
    2
  515. Hey, Farzad, I understand the need for ads, but seriously, so frequently that they seriously interrupt the flow of information? Particularly in such an in-depth discussion as this! Have a heart, mate!
    2
  516. As Matt says in the item, they are approx. twice as expensive to buy and cheaper than gas to run.
    2
  517. ​ @SpeedyGaming maybe it has adjustable height suspension...
    2
  518. The LNP already troll harder than anyone else... Except a few antivaxxer 'friend's.
    2
  519. You don't HAVE to be a sociopath to he a pollie, but it DOES HELP.
    2
  520. Sorry to hear about the loss of your mum, Anna. Very sad. I lost my mum to cancer also, many years ago.
    2
  521. That ought to help...
    2
  522. LMFAO!
    2
  523. Proteins are going to be produced in ever greater quantities by biological engineering as time goes by. Milk is a classic example. Most 'natural' milk byproducts such as whey are used in the production of proessed foods like bread. These are rapidly being replaced by chemicaly identical products produced by bacterial or fungal fermentation. These products are completely identical and indistinguishable from their 'natural' equivalents, but without the husbandry downsides, much more efficiently and MUCH cheaper. It's happening now.
    2
  524. More likely they'll use fewer cells to get the sane range and faster charge times.
    2
  525. I've been up in a chopper once, a joy flight in a Robinson. It was a curious feeling lifting vertically (more or less) off the ground, but once up in the air, it felt just like being in a normal aircraft, except for the noise and vibration. Those things can move forwards at a fair clip! Landing was equally slightly disturbing. Hats off to chopper pilots, they have their work cut out when close to the ground with objects like buildings and power lines to avoid! And just getting a sense of height can't be easy when landing.
    2
  526. "Natural..." a "fossil..." are greenwashing terms invented by the hydrocarbon fuel industry to pull the wool over our eyes. Don't be fooled!
    2
  527. This is an effective application of Peltier coolers as generators.
    2
  528. Now, if someone could just debug Sodium Sulphur...
    2
  529. Not that I've noticed.
    2
  530. Bullshit, its big oil and legacy auto. The unions are just an excuse...
    2
  531. ​@eddyr1041 nothing wrong with propellers. Jets just have them enclosed in a nacelle.
    2
  532. Lars, don't get me wrong, I completely understand how difficult a non-native language can be, I've tried a few. But your English faux-pas are sometimes hilarious! Elon: "...but here's the rubber"!
    2
  533. ...that turned out to be unnecessary!
    2
  534. You heard Sandy, liquid nitrogen bath, then grind it up!
    2
  535. I almost hope so...
    2
  536. It is of no significance to Tesla any longer.
    2
  537. Swapping batteries in cars is a 'fool's errand'.
    2
  538. Classic jordies! I LOVE Kristina!
    2
  539. I have a suspicion that when cars go driverless, human drivers will "pick" on them to gain an advantage, knowing that the driverless cars will always do the 'safest' thing, and get out of their way...
    2
  540. Whatever humans can sense and react to...
    2
  541. I think it has more to do with the actual issues of wildlife and other envoronmental issues at Boca Chica. These have been resolved or were not an issue at Florida.
    2
  542. As you'd expect...
    2
  543. We have all the practical technologies we need right now for large scale storage to buffer renewable energy supply, including pumped hydro and batteries. All it takes now is political will and less pressure from the ff lobby.
    2
  544. To me, seat nelts come in black. Anything else is pretentiousness.
    2
  545. Me too. It's cheap and nasty.
    2
  546. Good luck. There are now time limits on fixed rates.
    2
  547. Yes, we need to be aware that this is an edited excerpt. Now why would CNBS want to do that?
    2
  548. "Your"... sigh.
    2
  549. You don't like?
    2
  550. "Correctly" lol.
    2
  551. And you believe Yahoo Finance???
    2
  552. Love that sweet sign-off!
    2
  553. It does seem a bit 'pie in the sky', but if some great technologies come out of it, even if it takes a while, it's worth it to dream this big!
    2
  554. I spend a fair fraction of my life dobbing bots on other pro-Tesla channels! It's satisfying work, but time consuming.
    2
  555. Let's be quick, I'm 76 already!
    2
  556. Hang on, it already IS the 'Supervised' system!
    2
  557. Haha!
    2
  558. Years ago we had a sewage line drilled through sandstone rock in our suburb. The rig was set up about a hundred yards from our (brick) house with footings in solid rock. Man, I heard every turn of that drill for days!
    2
  559. ​ @Guvament_bs add in a few pumped hydro system. Easy peasy.
    2
  560.  @lStephen99  it helps if you took notice in your science class at school.
    2
  561. Whatever they have in mind, we'll regret it.
    2
  562. Nope, you covered it!
    2
  563. That's why like Toyota, they gave to rely on lies and FUD.
    2
  564. *you're...
    2
  565. This is one of the worst side effects of social media, short attention span. Our modern rush-rush lifestyle doesn't help.
    2
  566. By ONLY relying on it's owners, fans and YouTube supporter channels!
    2
  567. It's reality. In Australia, our stupid govt is backing obsolete fossil fuel companies and dissing EV tech, making it hard for us actual humans (not Neanderthals like our govt - apologies to all Neanderthals out there) to purchase an affordable BEV. Even so, I am determined that my next car will be an EV.
    2
  568. Nice voice, crap interpretation of numbers and symbols.
    2
  569. Which Tesla tech?
    2
  570.  @TimSmyth23  no off wants to die in this situation, least of all the pilot(s).
    2
  571. ​​ @2009kronos it's more that, it just does what it does...
    2
  572. ​@CopperCooper420 it won't. 😊
    2
  573. Straw/mud construction is a bit popular among the 'hippies' here in Australia...
    2
  574.  @bigboy9693  you haven't even looked, have you.
    2
  575. Probably...
    2
  576. ​@Lifecoach7Ra Any chance of getting a translation? Your Germlish is so bad I can't work out whether you're praising the new M3 or roasting it!
    2
  577. It would require a lot of energy, I suspect t.
    2
  578. Just take them to task at the next election. And tell your friends!
    2
  579. Yes.
    2
  580.  @keivcrn  it will never be available. That's how they roll.
    2
  581. Thank Tesla too, it was a JV.
    2
  582. Yes, it's lovely! Nice change.
    2
  583. That's what I thought...
    2
  584. Good luck...
    2
  585. It's safe. In fact fasting is healthier than eating three meals a day! I've lost 20kg in 18 months, mostly in the first 12 months, now 65kg and never felt better in my life. I'm 76yo. When I eat, I eat my fill and enjoy it!
    2
  586. Big.
    2
  587. That's the best way to do it
    2
  588. Makes sense.
    2
  589. ​@Withnail1969 Lithium is the disruptive technology. All improvements are a bonus.
    2
  590. Hahaha!
    2
  591. You mean "those there" cars???
    2
  592. On a long trip, they are a very heavy, inefficient ICE car.
    2
  593. They won't care, obviously.
    2
  594. Hahaha! Good joke!
    2
  595. For any climate!
    2
  596. ​ @anxietyy3263 *investigated.
    2
  597. ​ @thebritishbookworm2649 that's your theory of what didn't happen. How about what did happen?
    2
  598. Do it gurl!
    2
  599.  Brian Jones  Mudrake is pooing his pants.
    2
  600. ​ @sparkysho-ze7nm hahaha!

  601. Thinking you need one is even wilder!😊
    2
  602. Better late than never!
    2
  603. Nope.

  604. More jobs!
    2
  605.  @bigdswinger  by a bunch of frightened politicians who fear for their fortunes, err, in mean futures.
    2
  606. It's essential f or making such comments. No truth required...
    2
  607. He worries about our species.
    2
  608. That's why consumer law is so important!
    2
  609. They can't do OTA updates, and they can't because they don't write their own software!
    2
  610. When I was a kid, I couldn't get things apart quickly enough to see what's inside. All I ended up with was a pile of junk and cut fingers.
    2
  611. My suspicion is, at the rate that FSD is now advancing, the M2 will only be autonomous.
    2
  612. Do both are once. No brainer.
    2
  613. Planet Glad.
    2
  614. Doesn't mean it's not worth doing...
    2
  615. Elon did get a mention...
    2
  616. If only...
    2
  617. The only way to stop the gas rorts is to stop using gas. Put solar PV on your roof (state gov't subsidised) and buy a home battery plus software to optimise benefit to you (also state gov't subsidised). Some even receive a net payment?
    2
  618. You wouldn't want a bomb in your backyard...
    2
  619. Need the 'LMAO' emoji...
    2
  620. Particularly when they have single-handedly screwed the Kosci Nat Park!
    2
  621. So mendacious he doesn't even realise he's doing it!

  622. ​ @southerncharity7928  but he did say that lower power cooking has advamtages...

  623. Yes, damn good creepy old man I.pression...

  624.  @strode66  sounds like there could be an opening for some bright 'spark'!
    2
  625. ​ @sylvestertomcat8988  500 Watts wouldn't be ridiculous...
    2
  626. The first line goes: "Miracles performed immediately..." It was my motto as a technician. Because electronics looks like magic to the ignorant.
    2
  627. Just vote yes and make it happen!
    2
  628. Gullibility on steroids!
    2
  629. EV's are increasingly cheaper to buy and much cheaper to run, with virtually no maintenance requirements. ICE vehicles will rapidly die out as they equally rapidly wear out.
    2
  630. Now say something useful. Or at least accurate.
    2
  631. *phased...
    2
  632. Around 18,000 mph?
    2
  633. Yep!
    2
  634. "Contactor" is the engineering term for a relay.
    2
  635. My only objection is to calling it a "dumb" device. It is actually quite smart, so a "smart light switch" might be a better description.
    2
  636. Hear hear!
    2
  637. He might if it could fit in the back of a Cybertruck!
    2
  638. Not necessarily a big problem. You need to start a local cooperative. All buildings have rooves and a VPP style community or local battery can be managed by such a cooperative. Anyone who rents pays individually for retail electricity, so lobby for the ability to licence the coo-OP as a retailer (actually 'gentailer') and encourage all included residents to purchase their power from the co-OP!
    2
  639. Exyernal heat is not needed, and no advanyage.
    2
  640. Keep up the good work, Sam! But one small point, it's "Pill-buh-ruh", not Pill-barra".
    2
  641. Damn good move!
    2
  642. What, and spoil all the fun?!
    2
  643. I'll bet he's eating his words now!
    2
  644. Me too. The equivalent of 'dad jokes'.
    2
  645. "Hitchless towing" a dead car? Yeah, right...
    2
  646. Hear hear!
    2
  647.  @Fauzanarief-n7i  as mentioned.
    2
  648. Get a Cybertruck!
    2
  649. *losing. Loose means something totally different!
    2

  651. ​@theairstig9164 it won't.

    2
  654. Wrong answer...
    2
  655. No comparison. He lacks cojones.
    2
  656. Hydrogen is a dead end in so many ways.
    2
  657. It's one of the big downsides of ICE's.
    2
  658. Sad.
    2
  659. What absolute rubbish.
    2
  660. I doubt they'd last very long.
    2
  661. Castings can be repaired by welding in a new section. It's not all doom and gloom.
    2
  662. @HolyRolla2021 not a fan of J.C. then, eh?
    2
  663. Nah, it hurts my brain too much to listen to these fools admitting they don't know what they're even talking about, discussing solutions to a problem for which they have absolutely NO EXPERTISE!
    2
  664. E-trikes sounds like a great idea! What went wrong? I'd love to introduce them into Cauayan City, Isabela Province!!! Those smelly 2-strokes drive me nuts!
    2
  665. ... and millions of us!
    2
  666. In 5 years this will all blow over and Tesla will be HUUUGE!
    2
  667. No need, Tesla is doing it for them. Actually, they're doing it mostly all by themselves!
    2
  668. That's his 'kid in a candy store' moment!
    2
  669. FUD works!
    2
  670. Thus is too sad.
    2
  671. Only with EXCESS renewable energy when renewable energy is superabundant. See Tony Seba's vids.
    2
  672. What, no long term damages clauses? How quaint!
    2
  673. * your -> you. Changes the meaning 180⁰!
    2
  674. What irks me is that the waste from growing the corn is immense, and could itself be used to make ethanol, but it's considered too impractical.
    2
  675. Hybrids are short term only. ICE is as good as dead.
    2
  676.  @jamestoney6599  your reply indicates to me the degree of failure of the education system, at a very basic level. Check you spelling and grammar.
    2
  677. Vote them out.
    2
  678. SMR is unmarried, no kids. Farzad you know. Pretty sure Hans is married and probably has a sprog or two...
    2
  679. Wow!, just wow!
    2
  680.  @markharmon4963  severe weather due to AGW will do more damage to roads than EV's ever could.
    2
  681. 500Wh/kg is the nominal point.
    2
  682. Yes, ONLY. That's why his roadster is now in orbit around the sun!
    2
  683. A mate of mine HATES Labor... For something their policies did to his mother nearly 70 years ago...
    2
  684. It adds a nice balance to the CCP's belligerent attitude.
    2
  685. I have a solar powered watch, but it occasionally runs down, particularly in winter when I wear a jacket a lot, stopping the light from getting to its face. It would be great to have a C14 diamond powered watch that could run for thousands of years without running out of energy!
    2
  686. 12 montha tops.

  752. As I see it, the liquid electrolyte provides intimate contact between the anode / cathode and the solid (PVDF) electrolyte layer. So it does conduct Lithium Ions, and the 'solid' separator helps prevent formation of dendrites to short out the cell much better than the usual porous type separator.

  866. Pouch cells have almost no strength. Cylindrical cells are immensely strong individually. The foam provides a strong matrix to transfer the rigidity of the individual cells to the pack as a whole. The foam does not need to be recycled, it's embodied energy is microscopic and it is not effectively recyclable, nor does it need to be. The metals are all that need to be recycled. Even the graphite on the anode is so cheap it's not essential to recycle it, although I believe it is done.

  910. My biggest concern, despite all the talk about SS being non-flammable, is that in a fully charged cell, there is a layer of Lithoum metal. Lithium is HIGHLY reactive and if exposed to air (I.e. in case of an accident), will immediately burn fiercely on the presence of oxygen! Admittedly, this would not be due to thermal runaway, only mechanical cell damage, but even so, it would be a lie to say flammability is not an issue!

  1040. If the mass is fairly evenly distributed throughout the universe, it will tend to make the universe appear almost limitless, as long as the mass is offsetting d space's curvature.

  1095. Note:None of the solvents used in manufacturing the Li-Ion battery remains after production. The 'fire problem' comes from using a self- combustible electrolyte. If a for whatever reason the cell temperature rises above a safe limit, this material breaks down, releasing heat. Any resulting 'fire' (not really a fire as nothing inside the cell is actually burning in the usual sense of the word) is hard to extinguish. Unless the temperature can be brought below the critical point, the 'fire' continues. It does not require oxygen, and water only works as far as it reduces the temperature.

These are definitely a good fit with existing coal or gas- fired stations, particularly coal, but it seems each well might have a limited lifetime, so ongoing drilling may be required to maintain output.

  1229. I hate it when people say Hydrogen "is the most abundant element in the universe" as if that makes it cool and normal here on Earth. It doesn't. Also, the fact that Hydrogen is the nuclear fuel used by the Sun is almost completely irrelevant to using it as an energy store here on Earth! The fact is that molecular Hydrogen is an extremely rare beast here on Earth for very good reasons. It is extremely light and highly reactive. Hydrogen and Helium are the two lightest gases in the universe, so both escape quite quickly to space and literally evaporate away from Earth. Also, Hydrogen can react easily with Oxygen which makes up 20 odd percent of our atmosphere, so it tends to become chemically bound up rather easily. It is produced continuously by biological processes and exists at around 550 parts per billion in the atmosphere more or less stably.

  1455. I doubt that the capacity is sufficient to cover the cost and hassle of building them into a structure, complete with electrical isolation and installation issues. Sorry, good try, but not practical enough yet.

  1456. I recently learned that this drive train was developed in conjunction with Tesla when they did some sort of JV. No wonser its so damn good!

  1457.  @Supraboyes  not quite...
    1
  1458.  @Jacqthepossposs  so why have Tesla started making their superchargers available to others manufacturers?
    1
  1459. Pretty sure Tesla has 2027 in the can. 2037 may be a different matter, but, by then, who cares?
    1
  1460. The good news is that once these metals are mined, they can be recycled at high efficiency virtually forever. Mine them once, use them forever. At least, unlike coal, oil and gas mining, these minerals will not destroy the planet's ecosystems by overheating the planet!

  1461.  @lfcynwa9655  sore loser.

  1478. I doubt that Tesla takes 10 hours to build a car. More like 10 minutes.
    1
  1479. Yes, and all components are chemically deactivated.

  1480. I'd say about 3 months to charge an EV from solar PV on its roof.

  1497. Luciferaze is an enzyme involved in the production of light-emitting compounds found in the likes of glow-in-the-dark mushrooms and fireflies, glow worms and such. I can't imagine why anyone would put it in a vaccine, but if they did, I doubt it would do any harm. Maybe if would help 'light your way' so to speak...

  1521. Oh, and Tesla is "just a car company"!

  1522. Really???
    1
  1523. So you're saying Elon is stupid? Good luck...
    1
  1524. I hate to have to agree.
    1
  1525. Umm, how could solar panels improve diesel mileage? Sorry, but your musings about improving efficiency come across as crazy.

  1530. Do you need to ask?

  1531. If you're an idiot, what does that make the rest?
    1
  1532. It needs to be cycled often to stay molten.
    1
  1533. Should HAVE, not "of".
    1
  1534. That's whyTesla is investing billions in compute.
    1
  1535. So true!
    1
  1536. You really think the ads are selected that way? You have my condolences.
    1
  1537. Thorium LFTRs will kill the nuclear industry as it is today. Expect HUGE pushback, just like from the FF industry against renewables.

  1538. You'll have to wait a while then...
    1
  1539. Wow!
    1
  1540. Nutter.
    1
  1541. Stop being a FUDster.
    1
  1542. Overall vehicle efficiency is much different to motor efficiency, and includes power-to-weight ratio of the motor. So it could be possible to have a 10% higher overall vehicle efficiency while the electric motor efficiency is much the same, due to lower overall weight, plus, possibly, other factors.
    1
  1543. Stay "loose"!
    1
  1544. ​ @N911GT2  what are batteries for? Oh, yeah, transporting energy...
    1
  1545. Too loose, Loutrec!😂

  1549.  @sethg1116  me too. Just what we need, more self-absorbed douches.
    1
  1550. It absolutely IS NOT!
    1
  1551. But even Chinese EVs are still not 'computers on wheels'.
    1
  1552. Don't know why, but the opening titles audio has 'mosquito wings' all over it! (Iykyk!)
    1
  1553. Kangaroos are the same as deers, if not worse. They bounce a loooong way each time they hit the ground when they're moving at full tilt. There is no way you can avoid them. Just don't drive in an area they inhabit around twilight, morning and evening! That's when they browse for feed on the side of the road, usually just far enough out of sight that you wont see them, and it gives them a bounce or two to get really moving. Emus are another problem here in Oz. Their bodies are mostly at around winscreem height, so they go straight into your face through the windscreen. Not pretty.
    1
  1554. Ask Elon. (Pregúntale a Elón.)
    1
  1555. The marketing world has grabbed AI and is milking it for all it's worth. And the morons lap it up.
    1
  1556. Happening now, I'd say!
    1
  1557. It's difficult. Why are the options so restricted? It all smacks of extreme manipulation.
    1
  1558. I agree with Chuck. There is no way Tesla will put a crappy joystick in the robotaxi. If an emergency occurs, ir will definitely be handled with Grok integration via conversational input and feedback.
    1
  1559. Why not?
    1
  1560. Well, some of us did, but anyway....
    1
  1561. Making more chips available to ICE manufacturers will not help them sell more of their junk cars.
    1
  1562. Wow, stay off the 'shrooms, man!
    1
  1563. Any car can be easily written off by bending the frame out of spec.
    1
  1564. Well, one side was sensible. Lomborg refuses to listen to logic.
    1
  1565. Until...
    1
  1566. Money. Winners are grinners.

  1567. Most powered aircraft glide like bricks. Electric might be better at gliding as a result of higher power efficiency.

  1568. "First, remove the log from your own eye..."
    1
  1569. Plus it was sped up...
    1
  1570. Oh, yes he IS!
    1
  1571. Until charging and cleaning are fully automated, fleet managers, or individual owners, will be absolutely necessary. There is no need for Tesla to be directly involved in these 'fleet management' issues.

    1
  1578. What a stupid idea!
    1
  1579. ​​ @darbkavon As usual, lack of a decent alternative is the problem. The best question to ask is why the crazy Republican party chose Trump to lead them. Something very wrong there...
    1
  1580. You contradict yourself perfectly!

  1581.  @IANSYT  so don't rely just on paper to shield them! Duh!

    1
  1587. Playin' fast and loose with English! Well done.
    1
  1588. A few rhoughts: 1. Not ALL internal combustion vehicles HAVE TO BE replaced with electric. As long as enough mass production vehicles and electric power generation are replaced, we can reduce CO² emissions enough to reverse global warming. 2. Internal combustion engines produce particulates and other noxious products such as oxides of nitrogen, which are hazardous to health. Continuing use of ICE vehicles is hazardous to health, particularly in high population density areas such as cities and along transport corridors. 3. The cost of running battery electric vehicles is so low that economics will determine which areas of transport become electrified as much as practicality.
    1
  1589.  @FutureAzA Video and audio quality are both fine for me, but lighting and "set" could do with a refresh, but I'mnot really that fussed. It's what you cover that really matters!
    1
  1590. The Chinese don't fight wars the way most other people do, but they like to give the impression they could, and they can!
    1
  1591. Rubbish.

  1596. I've been wondering about that too. I would be awesome if he chose to develop them!
    1
  1597.  @rogerstarkey5390  he hires teams of engineers to do development work. It's just another investment to him.
    1
  1598. Cheaper to go to local electric generation via wind and solar PV.

  1609. You won't, it won't.

  1610. Elon and Starlink didn't "profit" of the Russia/Ukraine conflict. Have gave the Ukraine some terminals because Russia had shut down their internet. Show me the money or stfu!

  1623. So WE know just what to ignore...
    1
  1624. How many services, at what cost?
    1
  1625. SpaceX is saving the US's space capability virtually single-handedly! Do some research before showing your ignorance.
    1
  1626. Unbelievable number of ads for ICE cars here in Australia atm. Almost no mention of EV models.
    1
  1627. He'll get there!
    1
  1628. Not necessarily.
    1
  1629. Way too expensive compared the BEV.
    1
  1630. Possibly for improving thermal performance, but not sure. More likely just corrosion resistance
    1
  1631. They will need to transition from fossil fuels to EV charging to survive in any case!
    1
  1632.  @Rovinman  charging from space? Yeah, nah. The sun does that now, no need for Nikola-isation.
    1
  1633. That's why oil subsidies are so important. Reserves are running low.
    1
  1634. How so?
    1
  1635. Farzad needs a Starlink!
    1
  1636. Tesla is almost a Chinese company. Musk has played both sides rather intelligently. He's the G.O.A.T!
    1
  1637. I got my current ICE (2004 Corolla) free from my daughter. Her family grew out of it, and it was spending most of its life in the garage. They needed the space in the garage! Unless a miracle happens, it'll probably outlive me. I would LOVE to be driving an EV though!
    1
  1638. Actually, their hybrid tech was stolen from Tesla after a JV they pulled the plug on, after gleaning all they needed from Mr Musk.

    1
  1671. Westy's pretty good too!
    1
  1672. I dont think he is bashing them, just applying real-workd rules to the advertising blurb. Also, regarding hydrogen as a fuel for smaller vehicles, the economics dont stack up against batteries, whereas for larger vehicles like trains, buses and heavy transport trucks there is a much better case to be made, despite the overall ridiculously low efficiency of bydrogen as a fuel, even in a fuel cell powered vehicle. Somewhere in the order of 15 to 20% is godawful unless you can generate the hydrogen from non-polluting sources for bext to norhing, i.e. surplus renewable energy. Imho it will be a very long tine before it becomes popular in small passenger vehicles, if ever. Elon Musk himself rubishes it on these bases.
    1
  1673. When the fossil lobbyists stop winning...

  1685. Interestingly, an Australian start-up, Hazer Group, has developed the "Hazer Process" which converts bio-methane into green hydrogen and industrial grade graphite which is ideally suited to battery production. https://arena.gov.au/projects/the-hazer-process-commercial-demonstration-plant/#:~:text=The%20Hazer%20Process%20is%20a,the%20feedstock%20as%20solid%20graphite.

  1702. Regarding habituation, with the example given, it has nothing to do with neuronal stimulation, it's totally about the visual mechanism of the rods and cones themselves. That is, it's happening in the eye, with the optical sensory cells in the eye itself, NOT the brain. So, it's an interesting example, but a highly flawed one! Also, regarding choice at a restaurant, a "degustation" menu contains no choice, but huge variety anf novelry, and I find them hugely enjoyable. I don't always need choice if I trust my host.

  1758. The reasons for the decision are complex and not directly related to Fukushima at all. Do some research and you'll find that molten salt reactors based on Thorium as a rule is an ancient idea that was shit-canned by the US gov't 60 years ago because it would have put a huge dent in their nuclear weapons industry. It's basically only useful for power generation and about 20 times more efficient than the 'preferred' reactor designs that also magically produced Plutonium which is ideal for bombs.

  1818. At 13.59 you say that ALL nuclear reactors produce nuclear waste with half-lives of tens of thousands of years. Not true. Solid fuel nukes do need to be refuelled and the fuel rods reprocessed regularly, every year or two, but one BIG exception is molten salt reactors where the fuel is in liquid state, dissolved in a carrier salt such as Lithium fluoride. The nuclear fuel in these reactors is virtually completely consumed, and the waste products collected and removed on a regular basis. So instead of ending up with high level waste due only consuming a few percent of the available energy in the original fuel, with super-long half lives, the LFTR uses almost 100% of the energy present in the fuel load, resulting in much less and more benign waste with much shorter half lives. This, IMHO, is one of the prime benefits of the molten salt type of reactor.

An option given to me by my opthalmic surgeon is to apply a hot towel (I use a facewasher) using hot water at tap temperature (40 - 50⁰C) for 2 to 3 minutes per day. This is supposed to stimulate the skin cells in the lids responsible for producing the oil that coats the surface of the eyeball. I have found this to improve my eye comfort.

  1997. Why not go directly to molten salt reactors? They are also easily made as small, modular units suitable for neighbourhood use, are ridiculously safe, and, as you say, almost as cheap as wind and solar. They are also able to ramp output up and down quickly to follow load variations. But the clincher for me is that they burn over 90% of the fuel compared to conventional (including SMR) reactors which burn much less than 10% before reprocessing is required, and produce waste with much shorter half lives than conventional solid fuel types. It a no-brainer for me!

  2025. You have to wonder what's considered more important...
    1
  2026. The "truth" is what you believe. Everyone's 'truth' is uniquely their own. Reality is something else again. ChatGPT has no 'truth'. We'll rue the day it does! Robots are the steam engines of 150 years ago. They will enhance our strength and utility to the same degree. We must manage them carefully. I'm now even more convinced that Tesla need to join forces with BD.

  2057. ​ @companyman7128  even without innovative tech., locally (self-)powered superchargers are a no-brainer.
    1
  2058. Higher voltage marginally increases the need for insulation, so overall wire diameter is NOT strictly reduced by the voltage. Also, the reduction in wire gauge (i.e. diameter) is a function of current, not voltage. The cross-sectional area reduces linearly with the current for the same power loss due to resistance.

  2076. Farzad has to give up on his crazy idea of including a joystick in a robocab. It completely changes the legality of driving! Chuck explained it to him, but he doesn't seem to understand. I would prefer to have a Grok speech interface where you can have a conversation with the car. Then the responsibility for driving remains with Tesla!

  2091. Large commercial systems use a water-based evaporative 'chiller' to provide chilled water to the heat pump in cooling mode. this is much more efficient than using the heat pump alone, and these are ubiquitous in large establishments here in Australia.

  2092. I love when it hits him in the head.

  2093. With respect, it's not likely to be a bearing, more likely a jammed brake. The brake heats the bearing and the axle generally and can cause relatively rapid failure of the axle/ wheel combination. Jammed brakes are relatively common, and the monitoring systems are there due to the prevalence of this tyoe of fault.

  2110. The term "Rare Earth" is a historical term which is bandied about as if the word "rare" is significant. It's not, and some of them are anything but rare! But it can be quite expensive to separate and isolate them, as Matt says.

  2122. Re the motor, induction motors have no permanent magnets of any sort in them. Tesla have used induction motors on many models now. They are very efficient on overdrive. Also, Germanium and Gallium ARE NOT Rare Earths, and are not even particularly rare, and are not used in motors.

  2193. The oil companies have brought this upon themselves, auto makers and the public by insisting that the existential threat of climate change wasn't important.

  2194. I've seen a few ideas such as: Using shredded plastic as a filler for road-based. Using plastic formed into blocks as a building material. Both these applications have a decent potential lifetime, and would seem to be recyclable at end of life.

  2373. Speaking of transmissions, I took my (very old) car to the mechanic to track down a vibration/noise that only occurred under certain conditions (downhill, overdrive, top gear etc.). It pointed to a possible transmission or drive train issue. They road tested it but didn't let it warm up enough, so the problem didn't arise. To isolate the auto gearbox itself from the issue, they arranged for a local trans shop to 'have a look' at it. They didn't ask me first, or warn me of the cost. I had had the box replaced not long before with a refurbed 2nd hand unit, which could actually drive in reverse... The shop took the pan off, had a look (found nothing untoward), reinstalled the pan and replaced the trans fluid. Total cost for a "No problems there" report? Exactly the same as it cost me for the 2nd had trans, including labour. Not. Happy. Jan! It turned out to be a worn out engine mount rubber.
