Dying for a Chevy Volt, but....

I tried to find a link to a site I saw about Ferrari using huge NG powered diesel engines for a co-generation system at their manufacturing plant. I''ll have to dig back through my links but it's a darned interesting setup they're using. ^_^

Don't forget Jamestown Va (1607) and St Augustine Fl. (1565) The Mayflower dod not land until 1620 about the time the first French trappers found the UP but they were far from settlers. The Brits got the UP in 1763 after the F&I war.

The methodology of the left has always been:

  1. Lie
  2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
  3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
  4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
  5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
  6. Then everyone must conform to the lie

That will ruin the best of places. Italy, Greece, California, all the same.

Still owned by the leftists.

That's true of the entire country. The problem is that those few pinko areas have too many takers forcing the makers elsewhere to support them.

Well you sound like harry, now, paleface....

"The current interpretation by those who advocate that the feature on the rock is a human figure is that it commemorates a fallen member of the party of Henry Sinclair, a Scottish Earl whom some believe to have made a voyage to the New World in 1398, "

This is the earliest solid evidence of Europeans in North America:

"Food remains included butternuts, which are significant because they do not grow naturally north of New Brunswick, " Or maybe they once grew further north in the warmer climate?

"This area is no longer rich in game due in large part to the harsh climate that plagues the region for a lot of the year."

When I was in the Army in Germany I was the designated stuckee for get-to-know-the-locals jaunts. One was a tour of the local sewage treatment plant. After the guide had led us through the flower-bordered, unfenced, settling ponds she opened the door to a huge Diesel engine that ran on methane from a sludge digester dome beside it. It powered the facility and passed the excess power to the city. IIRC she said they had never needed to change the oil in it.

Read the first comment by SteamRoss.53. He has it right, except for the uniflow steam engines running on superheated steam. The whole point of uniflows is to avoid the need for superheated steam. You can do it, but it has nothing to do with the uniflow's operation or performance.

Other than that minor nitpick, the guy knows what he's talking about.

A hyped-up flash-boiler feeding a radial engine. They've been around for over 100 years.

Note that the feature pushed for the "Cyclone" is fuel flexibility. That's what drove the Stirling developments in the 1970s, including Ford's fleet of Stirling-powered postal trucks.

What happened is that we since learned how to burn just about any liquid or gaseous fuel in IC engines, and they have many advantages.

It's a very subtle skill that begs for hands-on instruction. If I wanted to really get into it, that's what I'd do.

Oh, I'm sure.

My interest in the subject goes back to the early '60s, when I received a copy of _Sports Car Bodywork_ for Christmas. I always wanted to try it but not to build a car body. I just wanted to know something about doing it.

So, not many years ago I was offered some 3003 aluminum, and I thought I'd give it a try.

If you get good at it, let us know how difficult it is, or not. It looks to me like the real experts can do it with amazing speed, even without an English wheel or power planisher.

The problem is the inefficiency of getting that power to your house. If the prime mover is coal, there is not even any pollution advantage. It may actually be worse.

That is where America IS stupid. They bitch about illegal immigration but most of these people ARE doing jobs Americans won't do ... better and that actually helps our economy.

The illegals who are sucking on the welfare system should be deported but if they are working, staying put of trouble and paying their taxes ... bienvenidos amigo

If we're reduced to bunker oil, it will mean that your pickup truck is too hot with radiation to drive, and you'll either be deep underground or dead.

Do you have bunker oil stations in Taft?
