Tugboats are a perfect use for battery electric boats! Most tugs work close to a port, they don't need to travel very far, need to be extraordinarily powerful for their size, and they need to change power output rapidly to manoeuvre a

LNG and LPG marine engines do exist, and are gaining popularity. The main issues are the price of gas fuel compared to marine diesel - which is the fraction too soft for roads and too viscous for other engines so is often really cheap - and

C is not X-safe because you can’t declare conformity in the type system. In Rust, if I understand the article, you can create a “trait” that marks a type as conforming to an invariant, so in the article they marked thread-safe structures as

Well I _live_ in New Zealand, but the area I'm most familiar with is the pacific islands. The cars there are mostly used exports from Australia, New Zealand and Japan. That's also true in New Zealand, half of the vehicles register

It is. Modern high-efficiency single stage air-source heat pumps will only have a COP of between 2-2.2 in -20°c/-4°F, so your 500W heat pump would output 1000W-1200W of heat. However at 0°C/32°F this bumps to 3.5-3.8, so you'

Hm? South America is at least half 220-240V including Peru, though it's not uncommon in my experience to have a centre-tapped transformer to supply 110V for US sourced appliances like in the Caribbean. Wikipedia has a handy map https:

To remain a co-op, in the sense that most co-operatives operate, they cannot remain a cooperative and take on equity funding from non-contributing parties. There's just no way to do this. An external party could agree to debt funding w
