Inside there would be continuous couch in front, because electric vehicle can have little engines in front and back, without transmission tunnel.

The issue with that is that solar energy is very thinly spread. The average it's 1.2 kwh per square meter, so it takes 8 hours for a square meter of surface to receive the energy contained in a liter of gasoline... but that's the input, high proficency solar cells would require 24 hours to achieve the same result. Assuming 12 hours of appropiate solar light, it would require 20 square meters of solar cells to reload a single 100kwh battery in a whole day.

And real performance is even worse. Of course, you can just pile up solar cells in empty sunlit areas, but a self-sustained solar vehicle carrying its own solar cells would have quite a short energy budget even with dreamlike performance and optimal conditions (let's say you're in a forested area...).

But not all is lost. Wind packs quite more punch than sunlight. A 10 kw wind turbine is something you can place in your backyard and will provide way more energy than you need to power your house, and enough to reload a electric car in 5 hours (even faster if you store the energy in a home battery and transfer it to the car).

My pet theory is that electric cars could "refuel" from windmill farms. Something not so far since the Netherlands are already running their railways with 100% windmill energy (they planned to achieve it by 2018, but it's been faster than expected as their neighbours are selling them more surplus than expected).

What must be understood is that it's a runaway chemical reaction what causes the batteries to burn/explode. Electricity only plays a role in heating up a cell beyond the point in whch it can cool itself, so it overheats and then ions neutralize not by a electrical exchange but by a exotermic chemical exchange which generates a lot of heat which them moves to the next cell and repeats the sequence. Technically ti's all about electrons moving around, but the direct exchange between charged ions is not a electric current. Actualy it's so violent that we usually call it "combustion" but at the atom level, it's just electrons jumping from an atom to another and emiting photons to balance out their energy level.

Not so easily for obesity.

(It takes 3x more calories to walk a distance than to ride it on a bike...)

Yes, but think about fixing both at the same time. Marvelous. \o/


Mario like from Nintendo games had boost from some magic mooshrooms I suppose, so he doesnt qualify for healthy living.

Hehehe. I once put that on someone who destroyed my Echelon and it took some people 2 activations, 4 Mil each to destroy his ship. But that is some next level generosity you have there. Maybe they really liked the name and looks of her, so they wanted corpse to collection.... or something. There was a very popular thread about clothing for corpses in features section some time ago, maybe these are the same people who wrote in it.

Aaand, time to go to bed! Nighties lovelies!

Also: how about a Russian SF / action / superhero movie?

Dear Santa,
I promise to be good this year. So for Christmas 2017 I want the most beautiful girl with the most beautiful voice that walks the Earth. I promise I'll treat her as a queen and take care of her to the best of my ability.

Your's faithfully,
/LordO

p.s.: I promise not to poison the milk and cookies this time.

p.p.s.: I'll keep the doberman out of the house and tied to his kennel in the backyard.

p.p.p.s.: No camouflaged bear traps too. Honest!

These battery cars are useless in cold areas. Plus the calciun chloride liquid they put on the roads in winter will
eat up the differentmetals and compinents on said cars.
Ill keep my big redneck peckerwood diesel 4x4 crew cab dually thank you.

Life is busy.

I give you an old terrible video.

Goodnight, LAGL.
