That's my real name.

You went to college under an assumed name.

How do I know we'll never find out about your background?

Because a real EE could calculate the losses from induction.

"Induction" is a fuzzy word. But I'm sure that no highway could be
built that would inductively power cars in any sort of efficient or
affordable way.

You are too ignorant to set up the problem.
Click to expand...
Absolutely. I'd need a staff of civil and automotive and materials
engineers, and a guy who's good with magnetics, to come up with
numbers. I am certain those numbers would be ghastly.

It's your idea: set it up and show us.

and I design electronics.

Let me guess.

There isn't any evidence whatsoever you ever did anything technical in
your entire life.

I did most of this:

and a lot more, in previous lives.

Show us something you've done. And tell us your real name, while
you're at it.

Don't dodge the issue:

We never got any names, not even of a trade school.

Except perhaps for some sock puppets who are, not coincidentally just
as full of idle banter as our "EE", there is not _one single_
authority that will vouch for the sorry loser.

If you are too ignorant to calculate the losses then you need to get a

No, that would be you that needs to do that. Efficient magnetic coupling
requires very small distances incompatible with vehicle suspension travel.

Who needs Fed Funds for that ? You can sell electricity you know !

The problem is that few batteries last more than about 1000 charge/discharge
cycles, I think the very best are up to 2000 now but to get that you can't
use the battery's full capacity, only about 70%. So you could be replacing
huge batteries every few years or so. This is what the PHEV tackles so
effectively by using gasoline (The Volt) or better still for efficiency,
diesel (The Flextreme) to handle long distances.

The engine makers are targetting 40% efficiency for 'new generation' diesels
btw. Large marine diesels already get over 50% and the waste flue heat from
them is recaptured using co-gen to make them nearly 70% efficienct overall.
That's damn good. MAN of Munich can TODAY sell you a 95% efficient diesel
power station.
http://www.mandiesel.com/category_000082.html

In a car the waste heat is your heater in winter. With batteries, you'd lose
range by using electric heating and wear out the batteries faster still.
It's all 100% proven science.

Charging times can be reduced with smaller cells.
Click to expand...
Which means less range and they fail faster due to more frequent
charge/discharge cycles (the killer for batteries).

It's simply not going to happen other than for light urban usage ever. END OF
STORY. The science ensures it. Of course you don't understand that bit do you ?

Not so much projection as extrapolating. When you extrapolate current

And who wants to hang out in a souvenir shop for two hours, every 100
miles, while your car is being charged?

Imagine how many cars would be parked. A gas station fills a car in a
few minutes, and sometimes all 12 or so pumps are busy. Scale that to
2-hour fill-up times.

Most people don't appreciate that Federal dollars are our dollars. The
difference is that we are careful with our own dollars, whereas we are
willing, even eager, to waste dollars that come from Washington.
