    Companies making charging systems

    Beam Global They focus on solar powered chargers that are modular and easily mobile. I think part of the idea is to provide charging and power to off-grid areas and for disaster areas when power is knocked out.

    Fork oil differences besides viscosity?

    No, I can't say I have. Fork oil wear resistance numbers on low-load sliding contact wear was pretty consistent with what you'd see in a good hydraulic oil.

    Fork oil differences besides viscosity?

    That's pretty much right. Shock oils, yes, hot hot hot. VI is the most important property. Fork oils might hit maybe 90°F if it isn't already hotter outside so VI is pretty much inconsequential when you formulate it for the operating temp.

    Fork oil differences besides viscosity?

    I know you don't want to consider viscosity, but simply put, and engine oil's low temp viscosity will be really high. You'd probably have to compare it to a "30W" fork oil at least. Besides that, an engine oil like Mobil 1 probably won't have the level of shear stability you'd want to see. A...

    Always feeling tired, waking up tired.......

    Checking for autoimmune issues is a good idea. My middle child was having a lot of issues with energy and eventually some other symptoms pointed us in the direction of Lyme's. Turned out to be correct, he got treatment, and he's been good for years since it was addressed.

    Fork oil differences besides viscosity?

    In my experience, the items aside from viscosity, that were considered during formulating fork oils were these, in this order: 1. Low shear 2. Low friction 3. Wear resistance 4. Anti-foam 5. Anti-oxidation Anti-foam and anti-oxidation are both very important, but they are just so dang easy to...

    Do you short-shift your manual transmission vehicle?

    Not usually no. Only time I don't go in order is like @OM605 if I'm starting downhill or rolling, or under circumstances when it makes sense to do it due to abnormal speed changes.

    Does Premium Gasoline Have More Energy Than Regular?

    So you originally asked about energy per volume, but the equivalence is in mass. If by volume, premium has more energy per unit volume because of the higher density. But @RDY4WAR 's chart shows premium as being lower density, so I guess that point isn't clear. However, unless I'm mistaken...

    Does Premium Gasoline Have More Energy Than Regular?

    I thought higher octane gasoline generally had a higher density. You're saying it is the opposite?

    Thread for photos that 100% do not violate any Terms Of Service, not political, not too lewd, no gas price pics etc.

    I looked at it and it is an AI generated image. :ROFLMAO: Or else a really good joke playing the extreme long game.

    Adding More Protein to Diet Ideas

    You gotta like them to begin with, which not everyone does, but I am trying to switch from potato chips to pork rinds as a snack to cut down carbs a bit. Chips are one of my favorite things to eat, so the change makes a difference for me diet-wise. I was surprised to find out how minimally...

    Best/Favorite first riff/20 seconds of iconic rock song?

    If we're talkin intros, it's Van Halen - Right Now. 20 seconds doesn't give you the full effect, though. Gotta go the full 45 seconds of the intro to rank it 'the best'.

    Rotella T6 Alternatives?

    Technically, if they are claiming JASO MA/MA2 compliance it would need to also comply with at least one API gas spec between SJ and SP, as per page 5 of the manual: https://www.jalos.or.jp/onfile/pdf/4T_EV2305.pdf Though you're right that they don't claim it on the bottle, it is sort of implied...

    Rotella T6 Alternatives?

    I've never seen a more apt analogy be made on this topic :ROFLMAO:
