>>1170713>they would be a poor choice for the application**Well fucking explain your argument then.** My dad also works at nintendo.
No matter fucking what you say, the weight of an ICE generator, fuel, capacitors and electric motors is going to be less than an equivalent battery and motor setup. And btw even if you think that microturbines wouldn't work it doesn't matter because my point was just that the best ice generators like free pistons, microturbines, or even WANKELS, would weigh less in combination with fuel than an energy equivalent battery and motor setup.
Did you think that i meant a direct drive microturbine?!?!? I am saying that a microturbine that powers a motor would be the best. But you could also use free pistons and get similar efficiency and lightness.
>I'm not going to pretend it's greener, but I get 30 miles on a 4 hr chargeAnd how much does it weigh? Im guessing your whole setup is more than 30 pounds? An equivalent amount of energy stored in vegetable oil would be lighter than your shitty toxic fire hazard batteries and the ICE generator and capacitors would be negligible. Pro tip: the generator can be small as fuck because it only needs to provide that same amount of power as a human.
And with regards to pic related, biofuels are only 5 to 10 percent less energy dense than traditional petroleum fuels, ie kerosene vs vegetable oil.
And if you are bitching about complexity then fucking fine.. LUG around 10 extra pounds because you are so brainwashed by neoliberal propaganda that you are too scared to fucking have something the complexity of a fucking weed whacker.
SOUND DEADENING TECHNIQUES REDUCE NOISE.
Vegetable oil can be 100 percent CARBON NEUTRAL, especially if you use algae as the feedstock. And it's fucking non toxic as fuck.. if you are bitching about pollution there are exhaust filters and the exhaust just smells like french fries and if it were toxic then fry cooks would be dying of cancer but they are not.
