No, no, no that's not me... that's my toaster.
With these engines, I'm really thinking more like "investment scam-a-ganza" rather than anything that will in any way materially change the world.Specmaster wrote: ↑Wed Jul 12, 2023 8:13 am One thing for sure, the activity is a good result, and that is with the forth coming pending transition to EV's, there has never been that much of concerted effort to really further the ICE, but there is now loads of development work being done with simply loads of car makers, and other vehicle makers and even independent companies all coming up with clever ideas and claiming that there new engines are going to save the world and kill the EV so it is possible that a real breakthrough could be on the horizon.
One thing is however certain, and that is that EV, while making our the air that we breathe cleaner and safer, it is really just moving the problem to the areas where the material's are being mined, leaving huge areas heavily toxic for years to come and also harming the people doing the mining as they are being exploited. even children and it uses masses of water, that could and should be used for farming and drinking purposes. So we would be creating two ticking time bombs, the mining activity and the oil industry, as the latter is never going to be defunct as we would still need oil for lubrication and for making plastics etc.
Haha I expect that there is someone right now building an EV monster truck, although I have to be honest and ask the question why would anyone want to either do this shit or pay money to see it, its as interesting as watching paint dry.MED6753 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 12, 2023 11:18 am I wanna see an EV do this.![]()

That is freaking lame.
I don't think this one would have any problems, apart from possibly missing and letting them slip though between its wheels. (Diesel-electric EV, but an EV nevertheless.)MED6753 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 12, 2023 11:18 am I wanna see an EV do this.![]()

Same as the trains of the same nomenclature: diesel engine -> generator -> control system -> motors. Except in the case of the dumper truck from Brobdingnag it's one motor per wheel hub, plus ones for steering, tipping etc. So if you could find big enough batteries you could in theory make a fully fledged EV in the more conventional sense out of it.Specmaster wrote: ↑Wed Jul 12, 2023 2:56 pm Diesel-electric EV, that would make it make more of a hybrid surely, although I suppose the diesel engine cannot directly drive the truck?
