Hybrid Lovers Read This and Lament

Holy shit, you are making sense.

Then right on cue, you do a 180 and starting talking out of your ass.
I suggest you go to China and drive an $8000 car. I think you will be
unpleasantly surprised.

Replacing steel with other materials could help bring the weight of cars
down, but the price is not going be anywhere near $8k.

 

Cause they make more selling the $50,000 cars with all sorts of
useless gadgets. You think they sell AC and CD players and electric
seats at cost??

 

Yep. One of the very first publicity photos was of a 1954 turbine-equipped
car running with a gentleman's hand placed about six inches from the
tailpipe.

This "melted asphalt" problem exists only in your head (and possibly in
the typewriters of certain ignorant motoring press yuk-yuks)

Where DOES that piston-engine heat go?

 

What would you expect form a guy that says Mrs. Bush murder someone? LOL

Out the tailpipe, but don't confuse "heat" with "temperature."

Suppose you have a piston engine and a gas turbine engine that both put
out the same amount of power and are the same efficiency. That implies
that they both have to shed exactly the same amount of waste heat
energy. For the piston engine, much of the waste heat goes out the
radiator, a little bit out the oil pan, and a fair amount out the
exhaust pipe. OK, for the turbine almost all of it goes out the tailpipe
because there IS no radiator. But the exhaust isn't any hotter, because
the turbine pumps so much excess air through its exhaust. IOW, it puts
out a much bigger volume of exhaust (much of it just hot air) than does
the gasoline engine, so the heat energy flow down the exhaust pipe is
greater but the exhaust gas temperature is about the same.

Remember, heat energy flow is proportional to temperature x volume. Make
the volume big enough and the temperature can be the same (or lower) for
a larger total heat flow.

 

Have a good weekend at the bath house, pud licker?

 

I hope you are you putting away some money to replace the battery pack a
some point. Current cost of the Escape battery pack is over $7,000

But then they wouldn't be able to pay the salaries of those socialist
UAW members, would they?

 

Last time this came up, I asked what the list price was at the Ford dealer
for the standard 12v battery.

 

=======
I never knew that the Prius ran on AA NiMh batteries.

 

Thank you for addressing the issue.

 

I change the oil every 1500 miles and grease the front end every 1000.
And i change the air filter and plugs and rotor/cap every 10k or so.
That's what i'm talking about. My present vehicle has 190K on it and
is as happy as a republican at a bathhouse.

 

I'm not talking about getting rid of steel just getting rid of all the
useless expensive gadgets. Forget the AC, PS, PB, electric seats and
windows. Leave out the radio-CD player and garbage like the trunk
light and the notorious windshield washer fluid guage.

Cars could be so much simpler than they are and they would cost much
less and with fewer problems. But GM Ford, toyota and honda work
together as a monopoly to give us this overpriced junk.

 

Ever hear of proofreading??

 

Because they are too saddled with pension and health care obligations
thanks to Organized Labor.

Don't forget the most useless gadgets of all: alarm systems...

 

Speaking at republicans at bath houses, remember this quote from one of
your posts, faggot?

the guys at the bath-house stopped laughing at my 3 inch weenie. I get
RESPECT now.

Just waiting for you to address it, homo.

Just maintaining your low standards, semen slurper.
