OT: EV Charging Stations Stripped of Copper Cables

We prefer purchase orders to citations.

No engineer would do that, knowing that it would be wastage of time and materials. Nobody would pay any attention to an alarm, least of all the police. We're not living in the twentieth century now.

Well, so is a watt or a volt or an amp or a coulomb. People, especially journalists, are often fuzzy about units.

One of my favorites that I see in the press is kW/h.

One kWh is nearly 3.6 million joules of energy.

Do EVs have catalytic converters (when hybrids are also banned)

The car alarm in a public place is the most ignored warning :)

And a kW/h is the rate of change of power.

Technology will arrive where the nuclear waste can be transported to the sun.

Let's assume it's a hybrid.

He won't. He is lying twit.

None of which you have ever bothered to document.

None of which you have bothered to find or point us at. Inventing them takes a lot less effort.

Most people. do But the world is full of clowns who think that they get away with pretending that they do to justify all sorts of stupid delusions.

But the period when wind turbines got subsidised is long past.

Except that you haven't documented any of these imagined subsidies.

People were building long DC links long before renewables were a thing.

When I was a kid the UK and France strung a long cable across the English channel to exploit the difference in the timing of the peak demand on either side.

Kilowatt.hours and MegaWatt.hours seem to be popular. Alan m doesn't seem to be all that technical.

Are you aware of the mechanics involved ?

I take it from the fact you suggested it you aren't.

Being able to charge an electric car by parking it over an inductive charger doesn't stop you fast charging it through a plug-in cable.

Equipping the car for both may cost more money, but a socket for a plug-in cable won't be expensive, and enough customers are going to want to have the option available that there's always going to be an easily (and cheaply) fitted option.

The charging coil is going wrapped around the periphery of the car - the more receiving area you have the better it works.

The thieves that rip it off will have to make a lot more noise and move a lot more bulk than the ones that go after catalytic converters.

Catalytic converter theft doesn't seem to be a thing in Sydney. I certainly don't see an alarmist reports in the local newspapers or on TV.

You would be wrong, but I haven't mentioned anything about kW, kWh etc.

What a stupid question.

But you haven't made it to the 21st century yet. Put a 5G phone in the alarm system, and the police get notified automatically (with pictures of the crime scene while the crime is in progress).

But with 5G phone links and artificial intelligence, the alarm can be sent to places where it will get attention, not that you'd know anything about that.

So does everybody. In your case it's just as well. You totally lack the skills required to put together a paper that might get published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Cambridge Instruments did like to submit papers at conferences and publish them in more-or-less peer-reviewed journals, and I did a bit of that, but I did dislike what marketing did to the papers to get the publicity they wanted, and so did the editors and referees of quality journals.
