Whitehat. You are correct again sir. I am a national Merit scholar, which helped me with scholarships here, but a good engineer from say Germany or the Eastern bloc countries blows us away. Even with that, there is a huge blind spot. One gentleman I knew worked with me on boiler/power generation design for a project. Something were we HAD to know pretty much exactly how much energy we were putting out as steam, heat, and electricity. He loved EV's. Not as "I love the torque and acceleration of EVS!" like my auto head friend does but as a solution to the coming energy crisis. When I asked him were the electricity was going to come from, he either got mad or said "That is someone else's problem!" Here is the thing, we were working with transmission loss. It wasn't a thing he had never dealt with, but we were trying to figure out how to run internal power lines the best way to limit power loss (a bit out of my ball park to be honest, but once you treat it like pressure drop in a pipe, I can grok it!). It is a cult. Or maybe the stark horror of the Three Laws Of ThermoDymanics is such that a rational man runs away from the implications. Namely, you can not win, you can not break even, and you can not quit. 2022-01-04 14:24:24
