It takes a very articulate and insightful individual to go and make a judgement about people, their beliefs and their process based on the fact that they have qualifications and don't agree with your argument (which is not really *your* argument, but some other 'websites' claim that you are pimping).
|
there's no point debating any further, you have existing companies who are currently providing the technology & products and you have information about inventions that tracks back to more than 100 years ago, you have newspaper articles of great inventions and even a video of a news item on a water powered vehicle dating back 20 years ago, you have horror stories of people that are threatened and killed by the authorities, and all these information are right in your face, but ignorance overcomes your intellegence, just because you thought you have a PhD or a degree, it makes you think everyone else out there is insane, what weren't told to you at your university isn't true.
Or think about this, you have an internal combustion engine in your car, which is shit all inefficient, say 30%? The rest gets turned into sound and heat, so much heat that you need another system to consistently remove the heat so your engine doesn't overheat, you pump the heat out with coolant, and a couple of 10, 12" electric fans, huge radiators that cracks and needs to be replaced every few years, why? Why doesn't all these wasted heat gets harnessed and recycled and turned back into energy? Because no oil companies nor car manufacturer give a f..k about the wasted fuel and energy!
Have a look at such innovation: http://www.whispergen.com/main/acwhispergen/ a company that builds a boiler with a sterling engine to recover lost energy, these household boiler most likely boil the water up to around 60 degrees, but while providing 8kW of heating they can recover an extra 1.2kW of electricity, that's about 15% of the original intended power!
If car manufacturers were any keen, wouldn't it be great to have such device to recover the extra heat wasted from inefficient combustion engine and use it to charge the battery, run the air conditioning etc.? No more huge radiators and thermo fans! Combine this with a system to run a generator when the brake pedal is on (already being done with hybrid cars) How much more will that would improve the overall system efficiency of the car? The media keeps going on about how they're building more fuel efficient cars, that's all B.S.! Look at the efficiency of today's corollas (1L/10km premium unleaded) and the corollas 10 years ago (1L/10km unleaded), where's the improvement? It's just a big lie that everybody's is believing!
EDIT: Just found some info to say 70% of an engine is lost through heat, so some energy are lost through sound and the rest out the flywheel, so I can safely assume IC engine have peak efficiency at 30%.... so if it produces 100kw, then it'll be safe to say that if we reserve 10% of this heat so the engine stays at the correct operating temp., so the other 60% of heat which is worth 200kw! If the sterling system can recover 15% of 200kW, that's an extra 30kw, and the air conditioning probably only drains 0.5-1kw? How'd you like an extra 30kw to play with?
