This seems like you’ve never used an air fryer. They aren’t a replacement for a deep fryer, of course, but they can certainly crisp many different foods much differently from a traditional oven. The high cfm convection of an air fryer make

I'm not sure what that proves? Volumetric efficiency is just about air efficiency. Higher VE is better, yes, but you need to compensate for higher VE by adding more fuel to utilize the air, otherwise you run lean, which is bad. Turboch

Fundamentally, ethanol will always be less efficient per gallon than gasoline. It has significantly less specific energy compared to gasoline. This is a fact known by anyone that has tried e85 either for racing or for flex fuel compatible n

Like I said, this assumes you use ridiculous cabling and bus bars. You could design something that handles this, it would just be wildly impractically large and cost way too much money. Also, the problem is definitely also the cables in you

No it's not, only in a practical sense. If you truly had 'arm thick cables', you could definitely charge a 48V battery just as fast. Practically speaking, though, you don't do this because every becomes so unmanageable t

Both as you mentioned. Charge circuitry for DCFC can be >200kW. Motors, for instantaneous current, can easily exceed 100kW, some much much more than that. Even assuming limitations to 100kW (which, would be very low for motor current), t

Running an EV off 48V would lead to a heavily, heavily compromised vehicle. There just aren’t components that can handle 5-10kA of current with a reasonable size.

Tg does not change with load. HDT does, kind of, but that’s already covered by the load being defined for the various conditions. HDT is always defined at a specific load so it also does not change with load (since load is fixed).

THD+N is irrelevant for the issue the author is describing, through. You need to spec PSRR (power supply rejection ratio). Many individual ICs do not spec this, and pretty much every system does not spec this.

If it costs the same as a gaming pc, people will certainly consider it for a gaming pc. The big thing, though, is that it’ll legitimize Linux as a gaming option for desktops.

If your money stays worth exactly the same in net present dollars, it’s effectively eroding in value compared to what you could be earning. 10-15 years is quite the long time horizon. You could easily be earning 7% real/10% actual in e

This is literally impossible with most server grade stuff. It’ll never be as efficient as the low power modern stuff.

Depending on how the camera is positioned, you could potentially be sneaking information off a “weak” dealer. That would give a massive advantage at blackjack. If you’re not aware, a weak dealer would be someone not handling cards properly

It’s an intrinsic issue with hauling loads, combined with the relatively low range of F150L. By comparison the the Chevy Silverado EV gets ~450mi of range unloaded and testing seems to have it able to tow ~250mi of range at 70mph, which see

Is this something common in Europe? We’ve had our fair share of blackouts in the US, some lasting days, and I’ve never ever heard of someone’s breaker panel (I assume that’s what you mean by distribution box) needing any service as a result

Most electricians don’t do this type of work, I’d say. For a grid operator, sure. For the standard guy coming to your house to do some wiring? No way.

You’re optimizing for the 0.01% here. Also, cars don’t lose their charge completely just because a blackout happens. Unless you pull in to the depot/charging area low on charge and then immediately a blackout happens, and then you need

If you’re watching streaming content in 4K, most of that is streamed in HEVC. Also, any phones that record video typically do so in HEVC by default.

by Kirby64 11mo ago
3.6V is considered the nominal voltage, certainly not the low end cut off. 3.0V is considered basically the highest voltage. Most chemistries suggest even lower, 2.8, or even 2.5 in some situations assuming you can control the cutoff carefu

And? Much like more modern compression algorithms for video take longer to decode/encode, this problem is largely solved by just adding accelerators since it’s basically guaranteed to be used. We do it for HEVC. I see little reason why
