you can throw away the 5k of engine and drivetrain components, and then throw in 6k in electric motors, transaxles/transmissions and added copper wiring From the vehicles I have actually built and weighed there is a…
Clearly you see the business plan!
actually adding 15,000 lb of battery to the truck reduces its efficiency significantly. Imagine loosing 15k of payload when you only had 60k to begin with, your new payload of 45k means you have to drive the route 4…
I'm surprised to hear this distinction. I've had my CDL for 15 years and worked on trucks for about a decade allover the east coast and found that when talking to the general public semi truck was the best way to talk…
I think the concern with capturing CO2 on this small scale is the network required to go pick it up. Still an interesting thought experiment and maybe that'll be a future market. Hopefully we can convert home heating…
they do not. At least so far we have not had a regulatory hurdle that requires hazmat. Mostly because the CO2 is not flammable nor toxic (unless in a confined space, but hard to imagine a semi truck being in a confined…
there are lots of uses for concentrated CO2. A few current uses include dry ice (shipping vaccines or other medical supplies), green houses, concrete, beverage carbonization, pumping it under ground into depleted oil…
For sure we want to capture CO2 from all the combustion engines in use, starting with the largest emitters puts trains and cargo ships next on the list. Lots of work to do to adapt our technology to those markets, but…
You are onto something! The video is a proof of concept, so it has the components and performs the adsorption and such but could not capture or store enough for a 600 mi drive cycle. We are compressing the CO2…
very true, but that's what a life cycle analysis is used for. Take all the emissions from manufacturing, use, and end of life. For this reason there are no zero emissions technologies (solar panels, electric car, cloth…
the first part I ordered was an aluminum part, it was delivered on time and made properly (completely finished, e.g. no burs and such). Very convenient. -Cheers
