Why not the same idea with lasers, if you have an array of low power lasers but they all focus on one 3D location, if you are not at the focus location you will not be exposed to a dangerous laser power. An array of hundred to a thousand lo

Yet I saved my mom and later my landlady by insisting on reading the contract they were about to sign. In my mom's cause she bought a condo, and cable/phone contract was to bill her for services the previous owner had but she did

Here in Ontario we had a small quake caused by a rock slide in Lake Ontario, almost no damage was seen. But my friend in Bowmanville said her grand mother lost tens of thousands of dollars in custom plates that she has displayed on ledges a

Well, here in Ontario 80% of the population has had the injections, yet 90% of the people in the ICUs are people who had no injection. The difference is something to think about.

For all the claims that the hardware is made for Linux, the system I looked at and the two I own do not have detailed information on how to program the registers in some of the hardware. I do not know if it is the chip makers or the system

Is there ANY system that there is not an element of risk? Even if you have money in bills or precious metals the value can change day to day - inflation and exchange rates see to that.

One thing to remember of message hopping. I ran a BBS in Oshawa, if you posted a public message to it, it was copied to the Whitby BBS, who in turn copied it to the BBS in Pickering, who in turn copied to a Toronto BBS where it was copied

That is even if the battery is really spent. A 100 kWh battery that is now on 80% will still store 80 kWh of power, lots of power for a solar system, emergency power backup or other non-vehicle uses.

Contact RV, off-the grid people, people with projects that need the batteries - PROFITS! Only the dumb people can't make a profit off selling BEV batteries.

Ah, yes, darwin selection. Should go to the Darwin Awards page to see what happens to people trying to steal from high voltage systems.

Strange article, Tesla cars do not need GPS to travel point A to point B, and the idea with the driving tech is it can avoid animals in the road and two wheel vehicles. The self-driving is not up to the level needed yet, but they were liste

They claim to be further along, but I have not seen the batteries tested by an outside organization. There is no information on the costs of the batteries, their weight or their lifespan. There is more to it than just saying they are soli

Porsche is doing good, they plan to sell over 40,000 BEVs this year and 60-80,000 cars next year. Their growth rate looks good but that is still a far cry from what Tesla already sells and plans to sell next year.
