    Oh, also hydrogen has a tendency to explode,

    No it doesnt. normally hydrogen will not react with itself. so a tank of hydrogen will not explode.
    There is one exception to this but in that case your already dead so it doesnt really matter ;-}

    And nobody will notice the trail of the other like 20 kg of byproducts dripping out your exhaust lol. I'm pretty sure it would be a thin oil substance so all the cars would slide around and crash and everyone would die....hmm that seems like a minor bug to work out lol.

    Its not a bug. Its a feature!

    From your comment:

    Yeah, someone isnt thinking energy alternatives through again. 1,000 people a day probably visit my grocery store. How are they going to pull 13 gallons of starch each? Where will by store put 13,000 gallons a day. In the cereal aisle?

    From TFA:

    A car with an approximately 12-gallon tank could hold 27 kilograms (kg) of starch, which is the equivalent of 4 kg of hydrogen. The range would be more than 300 miles

    So all of these people drive 300 miles a day?
    I see your point regarding the supply of starch to all the people in a givin town, but exagerated statements just make me wonder if you actually RTFA.

  13. Re:unsprung weight won't stop it on Toyota Going 100% Hybrid By 2020 · · Score: 1

    With a conventional gasoline engine under the hood I've heard that something under 40% of the power makes it to the wheels.

    No, it's normally only a few percent power losses from engine to wheel with a standard transmission. Wiki quotes 10%-20% but doesn't say what transmission was used.

    The engine on the model I'm looking at is "166 BHP". I would say that that ends up 166*0.4/4, or 16.6 HP/wheel

    I believe the formula your looking for would be 166*0.90/4 = 37.35 Wiki

    But my question is about the term "BHP". I seem to remember that that term is "Brake HorsePower", or power measured at the wheels, not at the engine. Is that true?

    No, BHP is measured at the engine with no accessories. True HP is measured at the wheels with every thing installed. Wiki

    I know tractors always had absurdly low HP specs, but all of that horsepower was truly usable. I'm wondering what sort of specmanship is being played with cars, and how that translates to in-wheel electric motors.

    What are you smoking? Wiki

  19. Stupid on Teachers Fake Gunman Attack · · Score: 1

    During the last night of the trip, staff members convinced the 69 students that there was a gunman on the loose. They were told to lie on the floor or hide underneath tables and stay quiet. A teacher, disguised in a hooded sweat shirt, even pulled on a locked door.

    So they were telling the kids to lie on the floor like good little targets, WTF? They should be collectively attacking the ass-clown, not cowering on the ground waiting to be shot.

    I'm surprised no one killed the teacher that was playing the attacker.
