  1. Lol I'm a genius. For some time I've been enjoying sporadically thinking about electric car range extension problems and in my head imagine how to solve them (ADD brain). I know squat about ICE engines, but over time I've, all on my own with no external sources, come up with how I'd like to solve it.
    Now this guy posts a video explaining my idea perfectly, because apparently it's a thing that future electric vehicles might get lol.

  2. Does anyone know of a manufacturer of dustproof/sealed starter motors for generators?

    I have a problem where starters on SDMO/Kohler 12KVA generators in desert environments are filling with sandy dust and require cleaning out every couple of weeks.This is obviously an issue!

    Any pointers welcome and I really don't know what hashtags would be appropriate!

  3. This video about the largest and most efficient engine on earth was striking to me in its pleasant and oddly calming delivery, not to mention the fascinating story within. Dunno - wanted to share.

  4. “Volkswagen chief executive #OliverBlume had less than 48 hours to celebrate the lucrative sale of the #carmaker’s €10bn marine #engines division before the deal was overshadowed by his plans to #axe up to 100,000 jobs.

    The sale of a majority stake in #Everllence and the scale of the cost-cutting plans revealed last week underline the urgency at #Volkswagen as it fights fierce competition from insurgent #Chinese brands and adapts to the shift to #ElectricVehicles.”

    This is a business decision not to go electric. #VW had the technology almost 6 decades ago. Maximise profit, then loose.

  5. “Anthropic is regarded as a giant among AI companies, but perhaps what it really excels in is anthropomorphism. Earlier this year the company released an 84-page document titled Claude’s “constitution,” Claude being the name of the large language model that is the company’s flagship product. The first sentence reads, “Claude’s constitution is a detailed description of Anthropic’s intentions for Claude’s values and behaviors.” It goes on: “The document is written with Claude as its primary audience”; “we want Claude to be able to use its judgment once armed with a good understanding of the relevant considerations”; “Claude’s moral status is deeply uncertain”; and “Claude may have some functional version of emotions or feelings.” (Source: archive.is/2026.06.03-164731/h )

    What a load of #HogWash, absolute nonsense. All #LLM based #GenAI are #Regurgitator #Engines devoid of any #PsychologicalFunctions. #GenAISlop are software programs incapable of #Emotions, #Reasoning and #Empathy among other biological traits inherent in #Conscious beings. Regardless, there are dopes out there (incl well known evolutionists) who believe #Anthropic ‘s absolute #MarketingGarbage shittalking. What is this world coming to!

  6. ⭐💥 The Detonation #Research Test Facility allows researchers to analyze the behavior of high-speed shock waves and turbulent flames in a controlled setting. Scientists can use the #data from these #experiments to improve industrial #safety and develop new #engines for hypersonic #flight.

  7. A new take on the Wankel rotary engine is more compact and 30% more fuel-efficient than conventional gasoline engines, and may have a future in hybrid electric vehicles.
