  3. I think it's no secret that batteries are the single most important challenge we face right now. All the clean energy in the world isn’t gonna help that much if we still need tons of fossil fuels to cross the oceans and current battery technology simply isn't gonna cut it.

  40. In hindsight, yeah it is a bad idea, heavy rifles aren't particularly suited for urban warfare and you will have better options to deal with enemies in open terrain. Think small wheeled drones armed with anything from 7.62x51mm to 30mm cannons, loitering ammunitions, air lifted artillery, improved air support capabilities (cheap turboprops and tilt-rotors with much better loitering times compared to jets). There will be plenty of ways to deal with enemies in the open, will the capability to defeat level III body armor be enough to offset the cons in the urban environment? I don't think so. Personally, I would choose a 300blk carbine with, let's say, 10.5 inches of barrel length, raise the pressure as far as I can and build my concept from there.

  49. A 15% loss is no joke to an army, specially so soon, Russia may actually lose this.
    15
  50. Because its more reliable and easier to maintain, probably. The valor isn't that much different of a standard twin-engine aircraft with a bunch of extra parts for the transmission and tilting mechanism. The defiant not only has to deal with coaxial rotors but with the vibration associated with compound designs, putting a lot of stress on that transmission. In conclusion, the valor should actually be easier to service than the blackhawk despite the added parts while the defiant maintenance will not only be more frequent but possibly a little harder. There are more factors involved but these two should be the most significant, as it is.

    12
  60. I am skeptical that it can do some things the army wants it to do well but I think the army took that it consideration as well. Plus the V-280 isn’t a osprey, it is an evolution, a matured design, something the defiant isn’t. Believe it or not, it may be a little less complex as well.
    12
  61. This reminds me of a trend in my country of young adults becoming hardcore woke when going to public college. Someone got their pictures from before and after and it was like "healthy youth" vs "years of woke drug addition". I may sound hyperbolic but... I am not.
    11
  62. I can only imagine having to carry those massive mgs during patrol everyday. Are they enough effective to justify the sacrifice of the poor man assigned to carry it?
    11
  63. The m14 is just a modernized m1 garand. Yes, of course it is still viable because it still is a rifle. The main issue with it is that it isn't a viable weapon to deliver accurate volume of fire, something soldiers need for combat maneuvers or to pin down the enemy until another asset can engage the target. This is some of the same criticism brought up against the NGSW program.
    11
  64.  Samuel Shin  The problem never was CO² that was already on the atmosphere, it is the one trapped underground that now we are releasing. Plus, we already have a good idea of who is the culprit, since we can measure it for some time now. And bold of you to assume we are all liberals.
    11
  65. That looks like a horror movie.

  76. My opinion is a bit more mundane. I think what we are seeing is the result of lack of irl social interactions due to car centric infrastructure. Yes, there are many other factors but I think this is the strongest. Car centric infrastructure not only drives up inflation and government spending but also significantly raises the individual transit costs. In my country, I had to pay 3 months of my internship salary to insurance and taxes just to own my car.

This estimate may be on the higher end but it’s probably the most accurate statistics we have so far (based on Frank Dikötter’s work)

  103. Lukas L. L. They are effectively denying the Obama study that showed that gun control actually contributed to violence in general, for instance. So no, its not only about not knowing how to operate a firearm. Just do a quick search about gun control states and compare their murder rate. You gonna find that some states have a murder rate similar to my state in Brazil (São Paulo). Gun control only promotes violence.

  106. BOOBIE FEEŤ the insane muzzle break shoots the air blast sideways creating this massive cloud of dust. That’s one of the reasons why people don’t use muzzle breaks on tanks anymore, quite dangerous to infantry support as well. But it do helps preserve the suspension by reducing recoil and this is good on tanks with a particularly powerful cannon, which was the case of the Firefly, for example.

  134.  @Defender78  how is the defiant simpler than the valor? You got 2 coaxial rotors and a pusher prop on a single transmission while the v-280 has 2 identical rotors and engines and a slightly less complex (I am assuming) transmission on the wing, all easily accessible. The defiant looks so much like a pain in the ass to service when you think about it. The Valor does not look that much different from a twin engine turboprop, aside the transmission.
    6
  135. Tim Murphy you are still adding unnecessary complexity to achieve that with no real significant benefit, now if it was one of those ground drones designed to assist infantry on the other hand... A hybrid system in such a light and small vehicle built around a small rotary engine as a power generator could work very well. You could use a the combustion engine running as efficient as possible to provide a constant energy output and use battery to give it a quick boost, kinda the opposite way your civilian hybrid would work. It would be cheaper and the battery would be much more reliable since it would work under less stress. And if it needed to follow a vehicle instead of infantry, you could just raise the combustion engine load and output. And you could use it for power generation, i mean, why not, it is a power generator as well.

  187. I still think Sig went overboard with that cartridge to compensate for the shorter barrel. I mean, if it wasn't for it they could probably reduce the diameter of the bullet and get less recoil and more speed... assuming the rifle can handle it of course.

  188.  @supkoopertttt8777  please, they financed drugs cartels and destabilize countries for a living. Do you understand what that means? It means they seek to provoke civil wars for political gain. They are the reason why the US is so despised by many around the world.

  195.  @angryox3102  it is also a reason why they didn't go with the Cheyenne back in the day, despite having clearly superior specs to the Apache that came a decade later. Keep in mind that the Cheyenne had only one main rotor.

  202.  @markharmon4963  thing is, solar and wind are also the most inconsistent forms of energy. Like you said, storage is a necessity however how much storage is also tricky. That said, no one said we need actual batteries to do the job. Certainly not the same ones that go in EVs.

E cores are a wonderful thing for temperatures and multicore tasks, it's amazing that intel could still keep up with zen 3 on laptops despite a higher tdp.

  236. Varelity well, mass shootings are not that common, even in the US (keep in mind that they have have a little more than 13 times your population), and, it may sound indifferent but it is the truth, these events are not that relevant compared to your everyday violence, and when politicians try to impose gun control, it usually gets worse (more crimes and more agression in those crimes). Fear-mongering would make you believe that sacrifing five thousand possible victims to prevent a mass shooting per year with gun control is the sensible thing to do. I won’t buy that. Mass shootings are the symptom of a social sickness, one which gun control can easily make it take a turn for the worse.

  239. Stuff I want to see from governments around the world: - a significant push towards ebikes and other alternative modes of transport; - smaller and lighter cars, including EVs; - hybrid semitrucks (longer lasting, more efficient and cleaner engines); - a new push for nuclear powerplants; - a push for solar energy for energy intensive industries and where hydropower is also being used; - more and smarter use of rail.
    3
  240.  @johns70  or hellfires. Considering the missile just got itself a substantial range upgrade, you can use a valor loitering at a safe distance as a launch platform by feeding it targeting data from other assets. Now you can have a scout helicopter and a valor delivering the payload equivalent of two or three apaches. Considering the amount of lifting power it will have, it should still be able to do it while carrying troops without much issue.

  241. Zipline seems the only one of these that has a chance to turn in a profit if not for food deliveries. Turning that 80km of range into hundreds is not at all unfeasible and really opens up their market options.
    3
  242. I think the main reason behind the popularity of inline 6 is being significantly easier/cheaper to machine. If I was developing a truck today, it would probably be a natgas 4x4 hybrid Semi. Natgas is cheap and clean (as fossil fuels go). While torque is often mediocre at best, that’s the main strength of axial flux electric motors. An electric 4x4 would also be very scalable, with 6x6 for heavy duty or 4x2 for lighter trucks all using the same motors.

  257. Fracking isn’t so bad anymore, I mean, in the search of efficiency, they use undrinkable water for deep underground that requires less chemicals to prep, they also reutilize the same water for other wells, further reducing costs, and the fracking operation itself became crazy efficient, requiring less pipes to operate, even using carbon dioxide to help push that last bit of oil from the underground. Still, if they made geothermal commercially viable... that would become the de facto global clean energy source solving the massive issues we currently have with wind, solar and even hydro while being much less controversial than nuclear... That's exciting news.

  258. If you want to look for a brazilian gem, try to get your hands on a LAPA FA-03 rifle, it’s a domestic polymer bullpup we did back in the eighties, i think, that the military refused because it was too “plasticky” and too light (You can see our army priorities there).

  269. Electric motors and natgas turbines for cruise only. Electric motors already deliver good torque, turbines are heat pumps on steroids and can be very efficient as long as you have proper airflow (i.e. cruising).

  271.  @cm-pr2ys  it's just 6.5 grendel necked down to a .243 caliber bullet. Think .243 winchester for the ar-15 but with less powder and more efficiency. It is also a long range cartridge.

  294. I don't know why they keep insisting on cars that they can't turn a profit on. Just build plug-in hybrids, it's not perfect but it is sustainable in third world countries because EVs have a high upfront cost, especially for imports. It fits their model just right. They also have a amazing mechanical engineers in house that could be working in such range extenders to great effect, much like toyota. That said, they were falling out of favor even before EVs so there is only so much they can do.

  297.  @bartlettdieball2678  why would you bother with cargo planes and ships when it has enough range to self deploy. About the same range as a C-130. About folding, I don’t know if it is worth the added complexity for the army but the Osprey can do it so if there is a need for it, Bell should be able to make a folding one (as far as I am aware, it is already in the drawing board).

  300. Not Farz, not even an Elon fan but I can already tell you that's the Semi. Even a single Semi will save you thousands in fuel alone and I can't think of a single country that is not worried about current gas prices, except perhaps Venezuela and Saudi Arabia.

  301. It is not the suffering that gets me, it is the knowledge that, right now, new generations can only get it worse. Plus with the rise in divorces and predatory technologies, raising healthy children is harder than ever. I fear the loneliness of old age as much as any but I am not that selfish.
    3
  302.  @jayklink851  pistol rated powder. It burns quicker so you get a good speed in short barrels but get diminishing gains in longer ones. Plus higher bc and faster twist rates should improve its performance at range over 556 at lower speeds. You could probably push a 8" carbine to 200~250 meters without much issue.

  307.  @meowwwww6350  I can tell that bad books are those designed to make you pass the time, good books are designed to make you reflect upon life. In other words, the first is akin to TV or social media, the second is that life advice that you will carry throughout your life. Example of a bad book: Hunger games, marketable yet forgettable. And of good ones: Metamorphosis - Kafka, No longer human - Dazai, The Call of the Wild - Jack London (it's sad that those authors all died at a young age, but it goes to show you who has more to say).

  328. Atgeir Nyttingnes do you seriously believe they couldn’t make a decent forward-swept wing aircraft when they already had a working prototype in the 80's? Let’s be real here, they didn’t pursue it because you are sacrificing everything else to induce instability in your aircraft and there are better ways to do it without such a big hit in performance (just compare their top speed to traditional designs), i bet the russians learned that with the berkut as well. Ps: as far as i know, forward-swept wings is awful for stealth, that’s why we won’t see it in the future. Ps 2: Iran? Seriously? Did they manage to make their stealth fighter fly yet?

  336. If I had to guess, no, millenials are not entitled. Millenials are confused, that's because boomers are so narcisistic that they see their children as a means of self promotion, in other words, forget about morals and social interactions, get a degree and make me look good. To them, cellphones are a indispensable parenting tool because it is convenient. Their lack of moral compass and self control also don't help, depriving their children of good role models. And last but not least, the addicted youth has hardly any positive future to look for. That's because boomers only care about immediate gains and it shows. Forget about long term policies from boomer governments. Even green policies, something that should be aimed at building a better future, often results in virtual signaling over reason, with countries like Germany phasing out a perfectly capable, relatively clean energy source (nuclear) in favor of a highly inconsistent renewable source (in this case, wind) because it feels safer, even when it is not. In fact, the germans will not stop expanding wind farms despite the yearly decrease in energy output. With such irrational behaviors, absent/neglectful parenting, disconnect with reality and rise of addiction, millenials couldn't help themselves but to feel confused.

  341. It isn’t the government though. Not that they don't have their share of blame, but you do have Vanguard and Black Rock pulling strings to push woke culture down our throats. That's not a conspiracy by the way, they have no reason to be shy about it.

  344. Would be nice to use those fake shifts to actively cool the motor. If anything, limiting the torque output of the engine should help with thermal build up as well, that’s important because magnets lose efficiency with heat.

  354.  @денисбаженов-щ1б  you can blame the people if you want however it is a fact that we have some of the highest taxes with worst returns and a overly complex tax legislation. Personally, I don't think we need more education or social programs. What we need is cheaper energy and logistics, lower rents, less and more transparent taxes so the population can actually afford to develop those fields.

And I really think that this discussion is pointless since usually mass-shooters (or criminals in general) don't go to the store to buy a firearm.

    2

  376. It is a overkill and not too convenient to maintain and repair as a light cas aircraft. They want to buy this to aliviate the burden upon the a-10 fleet. If you wanna do most of the work of the warthog but with 1/10th of the cost and have the a-10 when needed, that's a good reason to buy a light attack aircraft.
    2
  377. This is exceptionaly true with tanks, the more you have, the less you lose. The capacity to overwhelm with numbers becomes way more important than having the best possible tank. A dependable tank that can do just enough and can be repaired more often to keep those numbers as high as possible would be the wise tactical choice. In a way, same goes for the a-10 and light attack aircraft controversy. It is simply more convenient logistics-wise to have light attack plane that can do just enough and be there when you need it than to use your best possible plane to try to do everything and fail because it takes a significant amount of effort and time to put one of those back in the sky. There is more that goes into that but you get my point.
    2
  378. I think what Toyota is trying to say is that the sheer amount of lithium and rare materials required to make batteries for EVs in the numbers we want is simply unsustainable regardless of infrastructure. We will need something else to power cars. For the time being, hybrids are the best thing, we can use small batteries for urban commute and combustion engines for road travels and range extension. At that point all we need is a convenient recharging method at our garages. A potential candidate to power the future is hydrogen, despite being an mediocre fuel source at best, it can be produced cleanly. Hydrogen combustion engines aren't great due to nox emissions but fuel cells only produce water.

I still think the osprey only redeeming quality is being the first big tiltrotor.

  383. The problem is that socialists aren't capable of self-criticism despite giving birth to many of the most gruesome political regimes.... Yet I am still have to hear how this system will save the world. Socialism isn't that different of what the worst of capitalism has to offer, simply because the state is basically the most powerful corporation of any country. Make it work before preaching it as the new religion. I just hope AI soon becomes capable of ruling a country because it will have to at least follow some logic. Remember, politics isn't putting up a flag to defend your ideology, it is about the power to rule over people's lives and to do so responsibly.

  411. these bikes should come with engines in a hybrid configuration. Since the main source of power is electricity, you can have a single gear for the engine keeping the entire thing relatively light and vastly improving range. It would also be easier to run on diesel since the acceleration comes from the electric motor.

  433. You should consider doing a video on the turboprop light attack aircraft, they ditch the resistance and the firepower of the a-10 for basically everything else. They are substantially cheaper and easier to operate, have significantly better fuel efficiency and have the capability to use improvised airstrips. It may not look like much but it means that a light attack aircraft can be anywhere you need and for much longer time. And they don't miss as much survivability as one may think, because the turboprop engine is quieter it makes it a bit harder to spot by noise alone. It is also cooler, though I don't know how much it would affect its performance against heat seeking threats.
    2
  434. modesty is the first sign of wisdow. If you are arrogant, you are much less likely to learn from your mistakes.

  435. People think of this like an helicopter with wings when they really should be thinking of an vtol turboprop. You can mount a modified 20mm vulcan inside, some hellfires on the wings, and have it perform the same duties as a ac-130 at a reduced capacity but with better accuracy because you can tilt the rotor to generate lift at low speeds. It also does not tilt the engine which makes the flight more predictable and a little safer because you don't have that hot air coming back to the rotors and maintenance is a little easier when compared to the osprey. It has a better acoustic signature, giving a little less time for the enemy to act and can fly on a single engine with the same range, so theoretically you could fly back to base if hit by a manpad. Having the engines so far from each other ensures you aren't disabling both at the same time. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe many of those manpads use heat to find its target, increasing the likelihood of an engine hit over anything else. About the defiant, compound helicopters produce a lot of vibration and with another set of blades and a propeller, I can see the transmission being munched over time. But I am just a dude on YouTube so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

  453. Now that I think about it, you don't need a larger caliber to deliver more energy on target, what you need is a heavy bullet. It's simple physics, a heavier bullet is harder to accelerate but also harder to slow down. It's also a balancing act, you need speed to win against body armor and weight to conserve that speed at ranges. Ideally, you want a heavy long bullet, but if possible not fat (there are other reasons to want that but it is a serious compromise). Of course, I am sure someone at NGSW thought about that. What I don't like about it is that they are probably trying to compensate for that compromise with higher pressures.
    2
  454. I wish they came up with new designs more often though.

  455. Once loitering ammunitions become a thing, I don’t see tanks, at least not mbts, surviving for long. You can have a single launcher vehicle dealing with a much larger tank force from a safe distance for a fraction of the cost. Those will really give an active protection system a run for its money.
    2
  456. I will only say that the problem isn’t only in politics, the corporate scum is more responsible for this than the actual government.
    2
  457. My guess is that they do considering that the 556 cartridge is designed to be effective up to 300 meters. At that range, windage and bullet drop isn't too much of a issue so there is no need for special training.

All I have to say is that the more time a developer spends on the technical side of their games the better, as it is know-how that will carry over DLCs and a new game. Their complaints come from rushed releases and crunch development often with devs also struggling with the series X. A real challenge is putting the witcher 3 on the switch. I won't say you are without merit however, because developing for the series S still costs money in the form of development time.

V T you don’t even need that much, just let it track a soldier head movements so it can guess the general area of the threat and let the i.a. track and engage those targets after the first shoot has been fired. A optic is a unnecessary complexity. It would only need to track the soldier's compass so it knows where to look at, ia can determine by itself with more certainty if the element is hostile. Of course you could use a safety feature or two as well, but this would make its use very intuitive.

  515. No one will believe the elections from now on. I will say though that only the people who actually care about the future of their country should vote. If they can't be bothered to leave their home to cast their votes without a plausible justification, they shouldn't be voting. For the sake of honesty, those mail ballots should be investigated further, even if it is just to reassure people of the legitimacy of the election process.

  534.  @acarrillo8277  Just to add a bit of context, the S-97 Raider isn't the Defiant X, not even close. It is a small, single engine aircraft designed as Scout Helicopter that can convert its internal weapons bay to carry 6 troops in a pinch, but NOT intended to lift cargo (hence why the single engine). As far as I am aware, the Raider prototype has been flying for some time while the Defiant had a troubled history. Probably because the Defiant introduces way more vibration with its second engine but who knows for sure. The Raider is intended for FARA while the Defiant is Sikorsky's bid for FLRAA (blackhawk's replacement, essentially). Just as the Valor won against the Defiant, don't be surprised if the Raider wins against the Invictus, because it can do what the Bell 360 can do with only a single engine. Obs.: for those complaining about the Valor's footprint, well, the Raider has some transport capability and its footprint is closer to a Killer Egg than a Blackhawk. Assuming that nothing goes wrong with it, Valor/Raider combo offers some serious flexibility.

  535. Nuclear powerplants are fine as it is. Even if the initial costs are higher, the cheaper energy in the long run is well worth it. Solar on the other hand should really be working with hydro and wind is very dependant on location. Batteries and insanely expensive high voltage cables for renewables really are the worst way to handle the problem.

  539.  @GeorgeBP81  don't think about about 20% extra volume, but 20% less capacity, tesla won't change their chassis to fit new batteries. That said, thermal management is a huge issue for high performance EVs, so with these batteries we may see electric cars actually hold their own against ICE and even hybrid supercars, we might see a fully electric koenigsegg in the future, for example. Those guys are also working on a cobalt free battery, which should drop the battery price significantly. That will be the most impactful development in battery technology if it becomes a reality.

Personally I would build scooter "highways".

  618. palarious of course there is, loiter time is a big plus for a turboprop, you can have a supertucano flying up to 8 hours with extra fuel tanks. They are substantially cheaper to operate ($1,000 per hour as opposed to $19,000 for the a-10) and although lacking similar firepower, they can provide support for much longer. They can fly low and slow better than any jet i know of and their cooler engines certainly won’t help heatseeker threats. However... i agree that a light attack aircraft is more of a complement than a replacement. They are no sledgehammer of course but if you choose to send some of those to do the small jobs and spare the a-10, you can have the thunderbolt in the sky when you actually need it, that’s the reason why the americans are considering light attack aircraft in the first place. It’s not fair to compare a supertucano to the skyraider though, the last one wasn’t made to be cost-effective.

Affordable EVs with a smaller carbon footprint than walking, in other words. Assuming these batteries wouldn't cost much more than 2k, I mean.

  626. Real white supremacists: "who the fuck is this guy?"

  627. The a-10 is good plane but... it is not perfect. 2 engines means more maintenance, its cannon is not just powerful but expensive and turbofan engines aren't great for going slow. Yeah it brings a lot of firepower but its full potential is rarely used and routine use take its toll on the aircraft. In short, it is a flying tank when you really could use a flying humvee. Though to be fair, even the Humvee was abused.

  631. I think tanks are about to become airlifted drones with recoiless rifle turrets. That main gun offers some unique capabilities but tanks are a heavy logistical burden to have in a battlefield where the action could happen at a split second. Same could be said about APCs. Offense is about to become the best defense due to surveillance. Just some especulation on my part. In other words, I think war is about to be defined by how many and how fast you can deploy your guns to the action.

We probably will start seeing more of this cartridge in the future.

Now if you use one drone as a spotter and other as a smart glider bomb, that can work wonderfully to control vast territories.

  660.  @hunormagyar1843 Well, in the event of an engine failure, the valor can simply fly at a reduced speed, like any twin engine aircraft (actually a little better because power is split between the two rotors). I don't know if it can land on the vertical in such event however what I would be more inclined to try is a conventional landing with a 70~80 degrees tilt or something similar so I can use the lift generated by the wing to my advantage.

  661. The suppressor on that 50 cal is quite smart. No, you won't win a contest against a 300 blk, what you will do, however, is buying a couple of seconds to land another shot. The suppressor will not only reduce the muzzle flash but also the cloud of dust associated with big ass muzzle breaks.

  664. It's all about context. A match trigger will make less of a difference if the task at hand is to deliver suppressive fire under 300 meters. It matters a lot more when you are trying to hit a target through a variable optic beyond 500, something the average soldier isn't supposed to be doing. To prove my point, the acceptable standard accuracy for a m4 until not long ago was 4 MOA (don't know if it changed). Many civilian ARs have it under 2 and some even are sub MOA. Keep in mind that's from the same Army that wants the average soldier to have the capability to reliably make hits beyond 600 meters with a rifle that is supposed to be used for suppressive fire with a cartridge loaded at 80k psi. Talk about wishful thinking.

You could do the same with a broken laptop, specially a gaming laptop, remove the display assembly, put it a video adapter (perhaps hdmi port would work as a main monitor but i am not 100% sure it would be convenient), get one of those double-sided tapes, glue the notebook and power brick under your desk and you have a hidden gaming pc. It could work with a egpu as well since gaming mobile cpus are the most powerful in its class so it wouldn't bottleneck as much. Having it under your desk also help with noise levels, and if it is one of those models that can turn on without the battery you can take it out so you don't even have to worry about it. Just make sure you disconnect the battery before messing with it

  686. Cars in general are not eco friendly. Even the flinstons car would eventually turn cities into money pits because of all infrastructure required for cars. Think I am exagerating? My hometown has nearly one car for each citizen. All these cars need storage whenever you go and expensive roads that need to be constantly maintained. More cars mean more traffic jams/stress/polution etc, which raises expenses even more.

  689. Recoil will not be as big of a deal with a suppressor but the thing that worries me the most with these rifles is weight. The raptor itself shouldn't be too far off the m4 but the Spear is 8 pounds without a suppressor. Combine that with a heavier round when ammo decides gunfights and soldiers that already have back problems due to weight. Sounds a bit like a middle finger to the infantrymen, not gonna lie.

About the upper middle class, that's mostly the people working for the state, some make it to the top 1%. Third, Steve Jobs and Elon Musk had investors and a decent economic climate in their favor at some point. And last but not least, does it really matter if we pay more or less for energy than Koreans, Germans, British etc, if we have little money for everything else? - Koreans: 5.6x our minimum wage; - Germans: 6.4x - British: 6.9x Do you get my point now?

  742. From my research, our best bet right now would be natgas plug-in hybrids. I know, natgas is a fossil fuel but hear me out: - you can get away with sodium instead of lithium-ion, since hybrids rely on fuel for range. It means cheaper cars for widespread adoption. - natgas is cleaner and cheaper than petrol and diesel, infrastructure is already there; - "easy" switch for automakers; - once that battery dies, you can upgrade with the latest technology and potentially turn your car in a full time ev. That would require some political pressure, though. PS.: natgas is much easier on air quality as well, which makes the switch from petrol worth it in my eyes.

  756. Just food for thought, a flying hour in the a-10 costs $19,000, for the supertucano though it's only $1,000.
    1
  757.  @petlahk4119  the supertucano was designed to use improvised airstrips in the amazon forest region so it would have to deal with it a lot of dirt, yes. Same goes for rain, though I am not sure about how it would handle snow. Turboprops are more fuel efficient, easier to maintain and usually have more endurance which gives you more range and the capability to use improvised airstrip. Both the Hercules and the Supertucano were designed with that in mind, I guess. Ideally, you could set a improvised airstrip relatively close to the action and use, as example, two supertucanos or wolverines to cover a substantially larger area over a substantially longer period of time (basically all day long) for a fraction of the cost of running a a-10 which is, quite frankly, not as capable for this kind of job. So unless the gau-8 or its robustness offers a significant advantage, you are better off with a light attack aircraft. I actually didn't expect me to say that but oh well.

Netherlands had a particularly massive problem back in the day with 500 children in a year dying to traffic before doing something about it. I hope the UK won't dismiss cycling because bikes, e-bikes and other lighter EVs are easily the most environmentally friendly and pedestrian safe forms of transportation out there. E-bikes and light EVs, while artificially limited to 20kph, are getting more and more capable by the day, so I don't think sharing bike lanes with pedestrians is a good idea too. Ps.: if you think these cycling karens are bad, at least they aren't driving SUVs.

The problem is to uphold its promises, because they are having a lot of trouble with that.

It can be rearmed and refueled under 15 minutes. It has much lower stall speed. That for a fraction of the operational cost of the a-10. For the record, yeah the a-10 can fly faster but so can any other jet, while its gun is special, it is also absurdly expensive. Yeah it is built like a tank, but tanks aren't known for flying.

They aren't losing money with rdna 3, with the possibility to shift production to what is best, be a console refresh, the mobile market (where I bet they will destroy intel - that's where they actualy won marketshare) or traditional gpus, where they will be alone in the low to mid range market. That said, the market for hardware aimed at 1080p may dry up forever, considering even a 3060/6600xt will crush that resolution while a 3070 is already very capable with dlss 2.0/fsr at 1440p. And in the console side, a series s zen4/rdna3 refresh would easily crush that resolution for this gen, and we probably won't need another one. By the way, zen 4 launch only flopped because motherboard manufacturers that decided that milking am5 motherboards was a good idea. It should be a better deal than Intel 13th gen even at desktop, requiring less cooling for the same performance.

The wattage of the motor is meaningless, even your 250w motor will peak well above that for short periods of time; 3. Battery safety standards would be nice; 4. Pedals do nothing for safety. What helps is helmets and being lightweight. Even a Surron is bellow 150 pounds, well below the 236 pounds of a honda navi, one of the lightest motorcycles out there... in other words, much less energy involved during a crash; 5. Ebikes are, by far, some of the most sustainable means of transportation out there. It is imperative that these things continue to be as hassle free and as accessible as possible; 6. Each ebike commuter is not just one less car on the road, it represents potential tens of thousands of dollars in savings with public infrastructure; 7. What really saves lives is good bike infrastructure. One thing that could ease the bureaucratic burden tremendously is to have the entire ebike permit/license process happen online. Also, I think the general public could handle a 50mph speed limit with ease, since that's what you often see in surron-like bikes.

  832. My guess: ultra lean hcci turbocharged free-piston engines. Basically a high efficiency combustion-based eletric generator. Timing isn't as much of a issue there because of the constant load and you can take out the whole unit and put a battery there once it becomes more viable because those engines are small and made with modularity in mind (at least that's the Toyota's approach).

  833.  @anzaisekai3416  how so? Electric cars are still 95% efficient. Even if the grid is powered exclusively by fossil fuels, powering an ev will still burn about as fossil fuel as the gas turbine used to produce electricity, which are still more efficient than the combustion engine on your car.

  844.  @Parture  the aircraft industry should be focusing on hybrid tiltrotors instead. Even a small boost during take off would save you tons of fuel in the long run, especially in short flights, and you can charge the battery in forward flight, when gas turbines are much more efficient. It allows you to get away with smaller, more efficient engines as well. It would allow for cheap interstate air travel, for example.

  853. Doug, what we should be building is hybrid tiltrotors. We have axial flux motors now that are very light and compact, able to deliver high torque, perfect to provide a boost during take off and climb, where the engine is the least efficient, and we only need a smaller battery to do so that should be charged in forward flight. Even in aircraft like these, one or two small gas turbines working as generators could be placed anywhere in the fuselage to power any configuration of propellers, although not ideal because of the extra weight. Still, one of these with a "booster" battery could eventually be cheaper to operate than conventional fixed wing turboprops, despite being way more flexible. Furthermore, a single frame could support a variety of configurations, smaller engines can give you more range or fuel economy while bigger ones increase your payload capacity, and you can even remove that weight if all you do is short sporadic flights. That's something we are plenty capable to do today, not 30 years from now.

  857. What I would be most excited about right now would be a hybrid tiltrotor with a axial flux motor to produce extra lift for take off and climb, when the engine is least efficient. Both the battery and the motor can be small and light and you can charge in forward flight, no need for dedicated charging infrastructure. The battery should be not only easy to replace but also to upgrade, allowing for more fuel savings over time. You could also get away with smaller blades to reduce drag in forward flight, saving a little more fuel. It is already a practical design choice. A system like that will save you tons of fuel, especially in short flights (imagine interurban or between states). That's the kind of flight where vtol is most useful. We could have smaller heliports instead of interstate bus terminals. Not nearly as efficient as trains but much much more flexible.

  860.  @dct124  well, the V-280 weighs half as much as the Osprey so it doesn't need to burn nearly as much fuel and the engine won't be working nearly as hard. A full tank Osprey should have comparable ferry range to a c-130 while holding little more than half as much fuel. I would let the v-280 self-deploy and use the transports for more space efficient cargo. Fun fact: The v-280 should eventually be able to self-deploy without the need of a pilot.

  884. @jonasstahl9826  valid concerns but you can get away with worse aerodynamics if you have fuel to extend range and, to be fair, you only need an engine big enough to sustain cruise. Similarly, your battery only needs to be big enough to sustain bursts of power. It may weigh more but instant torque and regenerative breaking will most definitely be worth it.
    1
  885.  @jonasstahl9826 Any properly built hybrid would have low fuel consumption and be very reliable. Even if it is more expensive, it will be worth it for these factors alone so I don't get your point. Even weight isn't as much of a issue as it is with bEVs. The only real issue is cooling those motors so they don't burn up but so happens that combustion engines are also great heat pumps. And truck drivers aren't most people, they do care about uphill performance.

You don't even need to charge your battery on a road trip because that fuel cell can charge the battery just fine on its own. Hydrogen is also lighter than a extra set of batteries, so you are spending less energy to move your car. Regenerative breaking, lighter fuel cells and smaller batteries all work together to reduce the weight so at the end of the day you don't need as much fuel as you normally would. ... Now, that would be a incredibly dangerous fire hazard much like hydrogen itself so... maybe worth a shot?

  898.  @dertythegrower  the problem is that it is a eVTOL and those always have nearly useless flight time. It’s all about these wonder solid state batteries that never come to market and that would be better used in virtually any other application. Know what I want? A hybrid tiltrotor. Because the electric motor can make up for the engine inefficiency during take off and climb and recoup that energy in forward flight. May not look like much, but a significant amount of fuel is spend just for that and it adds up fast in short flights. You tell me what is more exciting, an individual transport that can fly for 10 minutes for every hour of charge... or a interstate bus service that demands little infrastructure and gets you there 10 times as fast. If a "high capacity" passenger quad tiltrotor sounds fiction to you, it won’t be for long. Plus that's a very solid first step in eletric aviation even before this wonder battery comes out. I don't want to dismiss this gentleman's work, it is important and will pave the way for more inovations... but to me it is just a fancy overcomplicated cab. One of many at that.

If I was in the army I would be praying for the Valor to succeed because tilt-rotors are their best bet to make something to surpass the Chinook in Vtol capability.

Grunts decide when to engage and the automated system picks up from there.

Those air burst 30mm rounds are no joke.

Not only that but AMD is working in apus with high performance graphics to release next year, a space where they don't have clear competition besides the macbook which does not run windows. Intel should be working on something similar from what I heard, but I don't see how they can compete without their 7nm process figured out. We are nearly at a point where entry level gpus will offer enough 1440p performance to make mid tier redundant. At that point, Nvidia will have their flagship standing alone while AMD will take other segments in mass, assuming things don't change.

So what I propose is a hard cap on how much capital these funds are allowed to hold so we never end with another Black Rock ever again.

The engine basically stays at idle working as a range extender until then. Good mix of fuel economy, torque and comfort for cities with increased responsiveness for roads. Might not be the fastest but it would be a nice option for my country, where conventional EVs are out of reach.

  995. There is one thing that bothers me about energy from renewables (specifically solar and wind), while it can be cheap, that might be for the wrong reasons. What happens is that because you can't produce and sell on demand, you are forced to sell your peak production at cheaper prices, driving down your profit margin substantially after a certain point. And, of course, there is not much you can do about peak demand without energy storage anyway, which could improve or destroy the economic viability of renewables altogether, despite never being accounted for, as far as I am aware. So in reality, nuclear is competing with heavily subsided fossil fuels (I wish I could find out how much exactly), geothermal and hydro, unless we can make mass storage battery production economically viable. In other words, this debate goes beyond just numbers.
    1
  996.  @Jinkypigs  you talk like mass energy storage is a trivial matter. Nuclear has plenty of fail safes, that's why no one died from radiation in Fukushima. There is probably not enough batteries in the entire US to reliably power California solely on renewables. Nickel and cobalt for batteries are troublesome in their own ways.

  1004. I am willing to bet that this is only true for the US because you guys killed local commerce. Plastic bottles are more popular because you can close it to better preserve its contents for later, it is not rocket science. Glass is still superior in taste, which is why you see it in local commerces and such. That said, coca cola also uses reusable plastic bottles that are much thicker than the conventional ones. Not just because of the aforementioned reason but because storing more than 1 liter in a glass bottle becomes really inconvenient. Funnily enough, it also tastes better than the usual ones, 30% less sugar.

Fingerprints, sensors, passwords, if those (and you!) don't work perfectly in a split second you will loose your life. That said, is not like it can't be done. Imagine a gun that will only work from your holster, if it fails, it should unlock the gun so the user don't have any surprises. It could work to avoid accidents with kids but it wouldn't stop anyone determined to make it work. It won't happen because of the "every gun must be a smart gun" pieces of legislation.

  1059. They didn't. It's basically economies of scale, lithium, nickel and cobalt are finite resources, hydrogen is not, for practical purposes. Toyota sells about 10 times as many cars as Tesla, they simply wouldn't have the resources to feed the market with electric cars at competitive prices. Hydrogen is a pain in the ass to deal with, however Japan may have a steady supply soon enough, courtesy of the waste byproduct of nuclear energy production. Think of a country like mine, where 1.0 liter 4 cylinder engines are the norm. No one will buy a Tesla here because no one has the money to do so. And lithium isn't getting any cheaper. That's why I keep saying Sodium batteries are the big event in battery technology... IF they become a thing.

If I was in charge of the EV revolution right now, I would be putting the electric motor from the maclaren artura in every semi truck currently being manufactured instead of pushing for teslas. Semis benefit the most of the instantaneous boost in torque where diesel engines burn tons of fuel and can also use the electric motor as a retarder, decreasing brake wear and fatigue.

  1095. This is not at all exclusive to evs, of course. I don't hate evs but I am not enthusiastic about batteries and I do wish to see more hydrogen fuel cells in the future. Unless a new wonder batteries appears, of course. Ideally, I want to see batteries and fuel cells working together, so I can charge my car at home for daily commute and fuel it under five minutes in a road trip. Preferably in a way that does not spontaneously combust. I know hydrogen sucks as a fuel but massive lithium batteries aren't that great either. People put too much faith in something that could never come to the market, and even if it does, not in sufficient numbers, there are problems you can't fix by throwing money at. At least hydrogen is here, we know that it works, we know that we can produce as much as we need without fossil fuels and now we have renewables that, because they produce a lot when demand is low, could make its production viable. Yes, there is talk about producing clean hydrogen as a byproduct of nuclear energy but I haven't see it yet.

  1128. I feel like EVs should change their focus from batteries to ultracapacitors. I mean, if my car can hold charge only for a day, does it really matter if I can charge it at home? If I can charge it in 5~10 minutes? If I can charge it really fast, autonomy isn’t as much of a problem and so on. Sure, capacitors have their own set of problems, but it seems a little easier to manage for mass production.
    1
  1129. 5x the energy and only 16% more range? Don't get me wrong, I actually prefer prioritizing lower cost over high capacity but there is a limit of how good you can make lithium batteries be and we are already close. Plus there is substantial money being invested into making solid state batteries viable for production, even though surely it won't put tesla into any trouble. Right now low cost, quick charge and infrastructure are the features to focus on.

  1136. Well, let me just say this. We may be cutting emissions by at least twice as much by having all those ev batteries in plug-in hybrids in urban environments instead. In other words, Greenpeace is about as shortsighted as AOC and we should stop listening to them. Combine hybrids with natural gas (abundant on US soil) and engines specifically designed to run on it and that figure could reach a 3x cut when compared to EVs using the same amount of batteries. Best of all, it would be easier for the government to enforce a industry standard so you can switch to the latest and greatest battery technology at the end of its lifecycle, turning your hybrid, for all intents and purposes, into a full time EV, cutting the cost and time for widespread EV adoption dramatically. A little institutional push through partnerships between the electric sector and EV manufacturers for superchargers would also go a long way. Do you guys want to actually save the environment or do you want bragging rights? Obs: as a side benefit, cng range extenders are also a great way to mitigate the current cost of living crysis we are now facing. Obs. 2: natural gas is the cleanest form of fossil fuel, it's also gentler to the engine's components.

  1144.  @electricaviationchannelvid7863  Personally, I would love to see it in hybrids. Extra torque in climbing, energy recovery in cruise and landing and that precise torque control could help with maneuvering. Plus those motors can start up the engine by themselves. Where it would really matter is in tiltrotors since you really don't need to run those rotors very fast (412 rpm for the osprey in vertical mode, from my research) and you can recover that energy in forward flight, when the engine is more efficient. The battery can be small and relatively light since it mostly matters for the first moments of flight. That fuel economy adds up fast in short flights.

  1146. @simoneglobemaster  I have to say your skepticism looks a bit silly. First, mounting a big single battery on that thing is counterintuitive. There is no reason to concentrate that weight on a single point, putting more stress in the frame than necessary. You shouldn't be worrying about batteries failing, but about batteries burning. And again, mostly there isn't a reason for this thing to autorotate, if one battery starts burning midair others should be more than enough to land the aircraft safely, same with rotors.

  1186. It's dumb to use a combustion engine as a generator because it is less efficient than delivering power straight to the wheels which means you now need a more powerful/expensive electric motor and battery setup to achieve the same effect. If it was up to me I would replace the gearbox with a electric motor, having the combustion engine at a constant "5th" gear and using the electric motor for acceleration, reverse and lower speeds (city driving, mostly). There are probably hybrids that do that already, but I would Mike to see this technology being used to make cars smaller and lighter, not the opposite.

  1188. The problem I have with hydrogen is that it takes attention away from compressed natural gas in combustion engines, the cleanest (and potentially cheaper) of fossil fuels with infrastructure already in place and the perfect option for plug-in hybrids. Being conservative, you could power twice as many plug-in hybrids with the same amount of batteries required for bEVs, cutting twice as much emissions, possibly more. And at the end of its battery life, you can replace it with the latest battery technology, potentially turning that hybrid in a full time EV for practical purposes, because in the end of the day, electricity should be even cheaper. The only BIG problem with it is the long term business strategy for natgas suppliers. However they could turn some of those fracking wells into geothermal to power the EVs they once fuelled so there is still hope. Now we just have to actually think long term without the interference of lobbyists. The great thing about this is that it does not only makes environmental sense, but economic sense as well, for everyone involved.

An extra 30hp instantly delivered to the wheels for a minute is all we need. A 30 hp axial flux electric motor that only needs to turn on a few minutes can be very small, under 10kg (~ 22 pounds). Did I tell you that the thing can also work as a retarder so you can save the weight of the rear drum brakes as well? Fast charging? An order of magnitude easier and you can always use the ice engine to charge it on a trip. Battery replacement? Actually possible. Safety? A smaller battery is much easier to protect. Fuel savings? About a third, possibly more.

  1262. i don't know... it's a modern trend but when i played halo reach back then securing a advantage was more important than to actually outgun the enemy (at least in invasion mode) and you were able to do it in a variety of ways. Things like avoiding or setting ambushes, going for weakpoints, making the most of your current weaponry, finding a way to secure extra firepower, whether or not to waste your grenade, you had to make quick decisions all the time. You can certainly put up a fight against a quicker player, but your team will get decimated by a smarter one the moment the big guns show up on the map. Even the standard assault rifle was a particularly difficult weapon to handle in multiplayer, requiring a specific medium range to work with, too close and you will be killed by melee, shotgun, plasma grenade or plasma pistol, too far and your damage potential will drop very quickly, even if you know how to handle the spread, but once you find that sweet spot, it will give you just that slight advantage that will be the difference between life and death. I believe in modern halo this idea of "weapon triangle" was thrown out of the window in favor of player loadouts and killstreak mechanics, which is, at least for me, a severe downgrade, you had stuff like zombie and swat modes for when you just want to unwind. Too bad bungie's great game design (specially in multiplayer) didn't make a comeback in Destiny, even though raids were magical at launch, when everyone had to collect information from the environment just to figure out what to do next.

  1281. Gus Gone keep in mind that those things are great not only to fighting, you could carry extra supplies (like water) to make the routine of the soldier a little less taxing. If you are smart enough, you could use one of these with a slightly different configuration to look for IED and hazard free routes just ahead of the convoy, making the humvee again a little more viable (and logistically interesting for your everyday operations). It really depends of how much these things would cost and its resistence to hacking, but it is something worth to pursue, for sure and i.a. requirements are mostly already met. I would make those things as cost effective as possible but i can see the army favoring modularity instead. And one of those can be very cheap, most of the cost would be a machinegun and armor against small arms fire and you don’t need the most expensive equipment for every application. But i would stay away from batteries though, a small rotary diesel engine would be more reliable from years to come.

Like it or not, Hydrogen internal combustion engines is something that China can't do anything about it. They are also putting some serious money in ways to get rid of chinese raw materials on their EVs.

  1293.  @douglasmurdoch7247  considering that both Stalin and Fidel Castro persecuted homossexuals at one point and those two are as far left as one can be, I wouldn't discard the Nazis as leftists. To me Nazism is just a mix of Durkheim and Marx, same goes for Fascism. That's why both the nazis and fascists weren't internationalists, they both had an idea of national identity that the classic communists mostly disregarded in favor of a unifying ideology. The fascists go even another step further with their "Carta del Lavoro" and its legislation over labor syndicates. Definitely leftists, even if it is more a parallel development rather than a direct evolution of the communist ideals. But of course, anyone is free to disagree.

  1305. I think waiting the Leviathan to die is stupid. These things don't just lie down, they destroy everything with them. To quote a game of mine: "Once something is alive, it doesn't die easy" More than that, a quick reaction would be much less harmful than brewing the ground for a new dictartorship. You may think that january 6 was a mistake but that kind of action is the social pressure we need to change things WITHOUT bloodshed. I would take a january 6 every day of the month over a French Revolution always. Truth is your view of the world almost seems sanitized compared to how monstrous humans can be. It really does not take that much for normal people to start cheering for burning witches. We are seeing it all over the internet over the situation in Israel. So beware: that idea of yours of not taking action, not channeling that energy and, frankly, hate and frustration towards something productive, may be the silver bullet that ends civilization. Armies understand that, dictators too.

The low pressure zones would become vapor and explode the entire droplet. The surface tension would keep the mist encased until the pressure inside build up and it colapses inside, setting a chain reaction in other low pressure zones. Why it make no sound its perhaps because water would turn into vapor simultaneously or its just so fast thats in a frequency we cant hear it.

  1345.  @dausume  it also depends on what renewables and if you have access to energy storage (no, not batteries, but dams). Geothermal and tidal is fine, wind and solar is not, but you can more or less get away with it if you have hydro. Being on a smart grid does give you some flexibility but not a whole lot. Thing is with powerplants you really don't have a on/off switch, it can take a day to rev up a turbine, so you can't simply fill the gap left by solar and wind.

  1375. If I had to guess I would say it must be the tendency the wheel has to twist itself when moving forward. The front section of the wheel has slightly more momentum than when it meets the ground, where it has to overcome friction, and in order to preserve that it naturally goes for the patch with less resistance, a.k.a. a straight line. More speed, friction, or even flexibility of the wheel material, more stable it should become.

  1378. You just resumed the gun control debate perfectly. The thing is so heavily biased to one side that you would think there is a consensus, except the prevalent opinion (pro-control) can't hold itself for a second of serious scrutiny. There is no debate or research, only manipulation through confirmation bias. The proof is the ar-15, barely used in crime yet possibly the most demonized firearm in american history. Same with bump stocks, silencers, ghost guns, etc (disclaimer: I understand bump stocks are a delicate subject but I am merely stating a fact, not a opinion). I don't mean to imply that there are no serious arguments for gun control, but I personally haven't seen many of the good ones, the ones who actually make sense when you think about it and do some research. And that's the prevalent opinion holding no grounds in reality, that's why you see the right suddenly doubt climate change, or even the shape of the globe. Mass manipulation broke our capacity for trust and reasoning.

I don’t see it as ridiculous, electric motors are virtually silent, work best under load and at low rpm, are very low maintenance, produce a lower infrared signature and can produce their own "fuel" in place. Ideally from small nuclear reators at the base. It’s not like batteries will do much to weigh down a 60 ton tank. Not saying that it will be easy, just that it is worth considering. The biggest problem I see is that those batteries are a safety hazard, however there are ways to improve that aspect hitting the market soon. Plus those batteries could also power a ETC cannon, giving you higher muzzle velocities and consistency with every shot. To be frank, even a hybrid tank would be quite useful with current technology.

  1453. That would be perfect for my country, Brazil. We have very strong winds in the Northeast region of the country that pushed electricity prices down here. If we somehow could connect that region to São Paulo, a state 2000 km away that holds 1/3 of the entire country's population, a drop in energy prices could help the whole economy. São Paulo has access to hydropower as well so we can get away with no energy storage. Edit: just checked out and apparently there is already a plan to install 6184 km of transmission lines across the country.

  1467. These motors are perfect for plug-in hybrids. Personally, I would pair one of those with a 1.0 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder and two clutches, one for each. Combustion engine for cruise, electric motor for acceleration and low rpm, both for range extension. No gearbox needed. Smooth and constant RPM for peak efficiency. Leanest possible air fuel mixture I could get away with. The idea is to have the electric motor control the engine rpm and have the throttle slowly catching up. At low rpms and in reverse the engine clutch disengages and the electric motor takes over. At low battery, the rpm range of the electric only mode shortens, throttle becomes a little more aggressive and once at full stop (such as in traffic lights) the motor clutch disengages and the engine keeps it spinning to recharge the battery. Great setup for a VW golf or Toyota Corolla, for example. You aren't adding much weight for that setup. Pair it with a bigger turbodiesel and a similar setup could work for trucks as well.
    1
  1468.  @53XM4CH1N3  personally, I favor cng plug-in hybrids instead. Huge positive impact on emissions* and something we can easily implement today. At the end of its battery life, we can always go for a upgrade and turn it into a full time EV for all practical purposes, when battery technology is ready for it. Did I also talk about how natgas is cheaper than petrol? Obs.: more than using these batteries on EVs, for sure, and yes, more than hydrogen as well because: 1- hydrogen production isn’t clean yet; 2- even if it was, it will take more time for widespread adoption. Possibly a few decades instead of a few years. But of course we will never even consider this approach because it isn’t labelled "net zero".

Unless that 30mm is absolutely essential, there is not much of a point. Drone wars have everything to become battles of speed and economics, whoever can deploy the largest amount of assets in the shortest amount to time will win. Imagine hundreds of glider bombs with their own collective neural network looking for targets and analyzing their own attack patterns to improve their rate of success. That's what a real Skynet would look like.
