This happened to me in real life. I made a circuit board by hand in the 1980's called the Amiga 14. Basicly if you had the board and a 16 MHz 68000 it double the speed of your Amiga 1000. I demo it at the World of Commodore in Toront

My friend does the Go Train from Oshawa to Toronto every work day. She spends the time on the train either reading a book or watch a video of a show she is following. On the way home she will sometimes watch a movie and finish it at home.

I am Black, but I use to laugh when people said that to me and reply "Why would I want to move back to London, England". It is not just where we really came from, but many of us if you try just using our surface features have no c

The Trouble with Tesla: Like a number of people I have gotten together a number of flat disks to try and make a working Tesla turbine (yes it was easy to build and it did work.) and then I tried hitting the web-sites for some information to

Sorry, but that does not ring true to me. I used to work on the assembly at a GM truck plant, and one of the amazing things was the range of different units that came down the line. I find it hard to believe that the major car plants can no

No it is not. Calculate the outward force of a centrifuge with 300 foot radius with a speed of 3000 MPH at the edge and you get a force of 2000G! Check your own numbers at: http://www.calctool.org/CALC/phys/newton

My cabin was on a very clean lake, but one year my friend canoed to the far end of the lake to find a dead deer in the water. The deer was not there the year before but anyone drink the water that year better treat the water first.

Also in Tesla already has TODAY 400,000 pre-orders for the car where people have already deposited a $1000. So without adding a single sales they already have more orders for their car than all the non-Chinese electric car producers.

He talks that stations for subways are the more expensive part. But what Musk wants to do there are no station per say, just the tunnel. So if he wants to do costs, he should model it on highway tunnels not subways.

Really? I can buy Power-Walls and Power-Packs from GM? I can get solar tiles from GM? But more important, where is that fast charger network across the continent for the GM cars? It is interesting that at the bottom of this article that sa

Probably, far less than coal or oil. For coal we should look at all the health costs cause by mining and burning coal. For oil we should not only look at the tax breaks the companies get but also how much of the military (percentage wise) e

I wonder if it is also the experience the kid get raising their younger siblings. As the oldest boy in my family when my parents were away I was taking care of my baby brothers and got to see the terrors they would get themselves into.

Do the math instead of listening to people who resist change. You are right about the extra stuff that comes with coal power, but you will find with a good modern coal plant, transmission losses, and battery/electric motor loss still p

Don't forget to carbon footprint needed to process/make that petrol/diesel .. that oil from the ground needs to be processed and transported too.

And how many mega-tons of that deadly heavy metal known as Lead is out there in cars now. So you claim is we should worry about a possible future nuclear bomb going off while not bothering the dangerous metal already out there.

There are charges, after your car is fully charge if you leave it on the charger for more than 10 minutes you start to be charged for the the extra time you leave you car there.

Then you will lose, the good EV cars have 90% of their battery life left after a lot more miles than that. See: https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1110149_tesla-model-s-b...

On the other-hand, I have seen lots of people who do not have high incomes spend money on luxuriates that make them feel good but the money would be better being invested into something else in the long run. I am not talking about poor peop

Yet somehow this study leaves out how much China is adding solar and wind energy to it's supply. Infact China is closing down it's worse coal plants. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_China

Tell that to the people who make the inks for my Epson inkjet printer. Inkjets can do great prints of photos, but only if you pay for the paper and ink.
