Still think TITNC3: Return of the Iceberg was peak

every aviation company is going to be pressured into renewable fuels soon since electric planes will take a lot longer to engineer.

 

Soon? How soon we thinking

 

20 Years.

 

Rolls Royce, a big aircraft engine manufacturer, has already completed their maiden flight with an EV powered airplane

i think the EV aircraft thing has already been in the works for sometime

Problem with EV planes is useful load. There's some serious bugs to work out. Can you make a plane fly with batteries and electric motors? Absolutely. In fact, I've got RC planes I fly all the time.

Can you make an electric 737 and carry a full contingent of passengers and cargo? Long ways away from that yet with current battery tech.


Maybe a realllllllly long extension cord?

 

yep the wide body planes we see today going full time EV is very far away, very very far away indeed

but watercraft on the other hand, some nice outboards and PWC are right around the corner

 

All you gotta do is put a few wind turbines on the plane. Piece of cake

This is a pretty interesting snippet, I know some people don't like either of these dudes but it's pretty darn cool/might be closer than most think. Starts at 1:25 min in

 

Are you trying to break the laws of thermodynamics? We don't take kindly to that 'round here.

 

Not break, just change. I change rules.

 

No idea a radio show was such into perpetual motion

What is WSGE?

 

Don’t be pimping out our battery

 

That's some space-age lookin' shit and some fine buzzwords right there. I'm in!

 

A diesel generator would work

 

I've bought and sold GEVO many times. It will take off again at some point. im about break even at the moment on it. AV gas had a bad year during covid so you cant just the latest earnings.

 

What can work is hydrogen fueled ram jets. So SST LA to London. The puddle jumper from Central Park to the Hamptons can go EV (some day sooner) for the very rich.

 

Anybody that deals in Crypto in here invested in Shiba?
