>The AC6000s were total duds
Why were the AC6000s duds?

>you could chop off 4 cylinders and only use one turbo and end up making 4,500 HP
I always get so confused on why people use HP to measure engines when torque is RIGHT THERE, and actually seems intuitive vs horsepower. Since isn't higher HP = faster RPM output, but not actually torque itself, which is what really matters with larger engines? or do you just know what the standard operating RPM is so you can quickly deduce the torque..? but that seems wrong to assume all engines operate at a shared envelope of RPM plus gear ratio differences.

>Since isn't higher HP = faster RPM output
Not necessarily. You control torque with alternator excitation. So you can have different power outputs at the same engine speed.

Another tough thing(with all but the newest engines with V-speed alternators) is that the auxilliary motors(radiator fans, air compressors, etc.) are powerered by a seperate alternator attached to the main one. The frequency of the AC power to these is a function of diesel engine speed, so you need to increase its speed if you want to run them faster.

I forgot to add, the AC6000s weren't reliable due to teething issues with the clean sheet engine and control architecture designs. Both of which had revisions when they went to the GEVO/Evolution Series. There were also issues with delivery.

In the end, it all worked out and the AC6000s still live on in spirit in Brazil and India.

Great lakes is the most dangerous body of water around. You will only ever deny that if you have never seen them. That's why there are many stories about the lakes and few about the ocean.

The Great Lakes and especially Superior are incredibly dangerous for shipping, though safely standards were upgraded after the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I was in a play called Ten November about the Fitz that was full of Great Lakes disaster lore, including this ship that sank a decade earlier. This story is even more harrowing than the Fitzgerald, which sank instantly, while the Morrell had survivors, all but one freezing to death.

Been riding a cheap bike for years, finally had the front tire bend/warp while shitfaced. Looking to get a new bike, just wanted to ask some basic shit since I find Google and Youtube are increasingly useless:
>gears
What are they really for? My now defunct bike had a left toggle going from 1 to 3, while the right side had a toggle from 1 to 7. Fiddling around with either made the pedals easier or harder to use, impacting how much power I put into each rotation and making the ride slower or quicker depending on terrain. Just haven't put it all together.
>bike
Any reccs for a cheap bike that'll do on gravel/dirt as much as the city? I'm not even close to being a "serious" bike guy, just like to do 4-6 mile round trips after work to decompress. Seems like the cheapest stuff at my nearby bike shop is 700, so I'm setting the budget at 800 (optimistically).
>winter tires
I've dreamt of being able to skid through light winter weather on a bike and not having to see a single person on our local trail system. The local bike shop guy tells me this can be done with certain tires, but he hasn't tried them so details were few.
>fitness
Being fat, I'm curious if anyone has a decent routine they'd share for starters. Last summer I felt proud I could roll around in the heat for an 8 mile trip, some elevation changes here and there; currently building up that stamina at a snails pace, but I can do a 4 mile round trip without taking breaks.
>seats
I don't get sore much after a long ride, but my balls/prostate definitely feel uncomfortable/numb at times. Anything to mitigate this?

Honestly kind of true though. Disneyland has multiple means of public transport, Main St. USA has horses and trollies, there's a railroad you can ride to take you around the park and stops at multiple stations, there's a series of trams to take you from the parking area to Downtown Disney and there's a Monorail to take you from the parking areas directly into the park itself. Walt Disney was a massive train nerd.

But anon knows people like (You) exist and the thread will generate more replies if anon just mentions being female. Odds are that anon is not even female.
So it is required that anon proves being a female and also pays the tax for using this circumstance to collect simp (You)s.

It's just taxiing that's still mostly manual and I don't even know why. Once we find a way to do autostarts safely literally everything will be pretty much automated. For checklists we might see remote ops, but single pilot ops are coming in fast.
