Preliminary report.

Scrap means what is left after the good parts are gone. Engines go first, many exotic metals in them. Though it still costs to remove good parts as well, no one works for free, and owning or renting a crane or machine to lift most of the parts is not cheap. I'd like to know the cost to scrap a...

I was told the cost to an outfit to scrap a DC-4 size plane was around 20K, that is over an above the value of the metals, so yeah if you own one thats what it would cost you. So just wondering what it would cost to scrap a 747? Remember all the metals, wires, plastic etc. need to be sorted...

Yeah its best all remain ignorant. If its important shut it off.

Many large company's have large amounts of worthless employee's. And said employee's can ruin a company's name real quick when they don't do a good job, like forgetting door bolts on an airplane etc. Fully understand Tesla doing that.

So then tell us the story of the $3000. car? What is it? An old VW? Maybe a smashed smart car? 🤣

Sooner or later someone else does things I thought of 30 some years ago. Thats what happens when your broke and can't patent or have machines to make stuff. Has happened to many in the past.:(

Yes but its not so much how many, but the when it happens. Just one fire in the wrong place by far out classes hundreds of non EV fires. And most all non EV fires do have an electrical beginning, crispy soy insulation and rodent chewing is a huge assist. And never powering down circuits like...

I would like to see them offering at home storage units as well. https://fireboxusa.net/

Crocus cloth ! if its the real stuff, it is basically a cloth impregnated with jewelers' rouge, that is an ultra fine polishing compound. It would take years to remove the stuck or galled aluminum from the crankshaft crank pin using that. Just saying. It may work in your case as the pin doesn't...

So with huge leaks of H2 we could potentially see all our water (or a portion of it) spewing out to space. Just seems smarter to use what was designed to be used as fuel in the first place. And also from what I've read about what it can cause on the way there, makes it sound like H2 will be...

Brought tears, :cry:

I'd like to see the end of transverse engines and transaxles, back to good ole hotchkiss drive, that is easy to work on.

I was thinking the wave from the plane would deflect the hail, as well as cause zero effect from any turbulence as well. Maybe needs hyper sonic to do that?

I'm thinking the results would be better at mach speeds.

Serious? Too many corners cut on the LS junk. It is a normal nowadays ill designed engine like most all manufactures do now. Do you know what areas I'm talking about?

Flying through the dreaded thunder storm, in something like an F4 Phantom at high mach speed?

For a wing tank to do that it would need to be pretty low on gas, the liquid won't burn its the fumes so to say. It could be something mechanical in the engine or a wild guess of a flash back into the induction system, that would be difficult and very rare though especially at high power. It...

The constant fixing of problems that don't exist on cars themselves. Its goofy how its always the fault of the machine, and never the nut that is using it. Auto braking? Just like unintended acceleration, all is good till something goes wrong with it. I'd hate to be on a high overpass or bridge...

Serious, Honda will fix a ring problem this many years from 2011? That is a great warranty.
