    Adam, when you get to your next night stop. Remove your air filter on your engine and beat it out on the parking lot. Lightly beat it out. That sand storm could have got your filter pretty full. It probably wouldn't hurt to stop at a popular auto parts store and replace the air filter. You may not even need tools. It could have snap latches. Probably $20 and a bit better MPG

  • @MikeBramm
    @MikeBramm Год назад +86

    After driving through that sand storm, you should remove the air filter from your engine and tap the sand out of it. If it's really dirty, just replace it. The loss of air flow to your engine can cause it to lose power. What you called "lights" were not lights; that is a solar reflector farm and those towers were really bright from all the mirrors reflecting the sun onto them.

    28:01 That isn't lights, that's actually the reflection of the sun you are seeing .
    The Ivanpah Solar Facility is the largest concentrated solar plant in the world, and when it opened in 2014 it promised to be the future of renewable energy. Solar thermal plants (like Solar One and Solar Two) use thousands of large moving mirrors, called heliostats, that track the sun and focus the reflected sunlight toward tall towers. The heat then boils water in the tower to create steam, which turns a turbine to generate electricity.
