  • It has to be noted, that the car was initially built for a competition named “Formula Student”, where there are several disciplines and the tracks are very narrow and twisty. The team added these fans to the 2019 runner to increase grip (double from what I understand) and maximize traction especially at standstill for this record (As you said, not to prevent taking-off). And since the wings would take up too much drag, they only left the undertray with the fans in terms of aerodynamics. Aside from that it is an electric car with four powerful yet small motors, placed at the wheels. Congratz to the team and AMZRacing!



  • Well even if we take those nonsense extrapolations seriously and had the material capacities to build that infrastructure globally (remember it isn’t a local problem), what is also lacking in many countries are skilled workers who actually put that stuff together. I can’t seem to find enough political action to fulfill that part. And it’s not only the production side, but the transport of the energy (grids and storage) and then also the consumer side. Those heat-pumps aren’t gonna install themselves, you know.

    Kann ich nur bestätigen… Schon mein FP1U war super resistent. Eine erdrückende Begegnung mit einem Bus war dann jedoch des Guten zu viel. Mein FP3 habe ich nur deswegen auseinander genommen, um mal alle Öffnungen zu reinigen (und mir das ganze etwas näher anzuschauen). Stürze scheinen nur der Stossstange was anzuhaben; das Handy ist noch in 1A Zustand und mit dem verlängerten OS-Support noch für einige Zeit brauchbar. Eine schöne Abwechslung nachdem ich vorher ein “Baustellen-Handy” hatte, dessen Anzeige aufgrund von Temperaturspannungen auf dem Nachttisch liegend barst.


  • I’d add that especially in developed countries, we have gotten used to the high energy-density of fossil fuels, which is the result of millions of years of pressure, temperature or in short: energy. And we are using up this energy within two centuries. This resulted in the unsustainable lifestyle (it’s everywhere we look), that would have to be curbed, if we were to get off this Jurassic Park Experiment completely.

    Therefore a number of people see their very (unsustainable) way of life in jeopardy. This source of resistance is what gives that culture war BS its fuel in the first place. At least in my experience of talking with people it is this negative emotional place that leads them to embrace false information in order to keep their lifestyles. Which in turn makes cooperation impossible. To make it even worse, people in developing countries now aspire to the same lifestyle - and who can blame them? But I don’t trust their (or ours for that matter) politics enough to hope for scientifically sound action to get there.
