NYC Subways Testing Flywheels

Posted by michael on from the next-stop-42nd-street dept.

socolow writes "The New York Times (free registration required) has an article about the NYC subway system's use of flywheels to store the braking energy of trains approaching stations. Not only does this advance the development of flywheel energy storage, but it will help relieve a lot of the heat subways generate (always appreciated during the summer)."

  1. You are retarded. Really. by Lethyos · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    It's not about lying on the form, fuck head. True, I don't want them to have correct information. The crux of the issue is that I do not feel like taking the time to fill-out 20+ fields of nonsense, then go back and correct it repeatedly when it says "your ZIP/email/state/whatever is invalid".

    As for personal information, spam is not the issue. NYT doesn't need to know my gender, age, region, etc. It's an issue of privacy.
