Besides EMF from electric cars are directly Harmful to human health and fertility. It is propaganda with an insidious agenda that hide these truths and seek to promote electric cars.

    The energy formula is (volume * density * energy * efficiency) divided by volume.Volume times density equals mass. Since the mass is the same (1 kg) for both fuels, and the hydrogen content is the same (130 grams) for both fuels then the energy is the same for both fuels (mass * energy * efficiency) 1 * 120 * 13% = 15.6 mega joules per kilogram.

Sometimes will leave you on the side of the road because a sensor got dirty. Only people its done favors for is dealerships because they get to rail the pockets of their customers.

    "...fealty to gasoline and diesel..." Usually fossil fuel users are called greedy, enslaved or addicted. I want to move to alternative fuels but the technology is still unattainable for most of the world. I don't like this kind of shaming language. If you want to sell your ideas, sell them! Don't go shaming people for using the only viable energy source they can afford because renewable energy is still making baby steps in other countries.
    I'm currently teaching my students about renewable energy and the last thing I want to do is call their poor parents as greedy, enslaved fossil fuel addicts. My students' awareness of renewable energy is through the popularity of the Tesla brand, e-bikes and the rising number of people using solar wall lights for security. I told my students that in 10 years they could living in a new age of renewable energy but don't scoff at the fossil fuel vehicle that their parents used to toil their land with and provide for their future.
    We use what we have and at the moment it's still fossil fuel. If renewable energy is cheaper and more readily available then people would gladly move to it. Just like how people easily embrace smartphones over cellphones: new ideas need be accepted in order to grow, not forced down your throat.

    ❌ The narrator had a nice voice, and the animator was certainly skilled, but the video was too fast and too confusing. It was over animated. I kept getting distracted by the dialogue, the antics and the expressions of all the characters. When you’re trying to learn something new, you need to be focused, not distracted. A few illustrations are great, but when there’s too much going on, it defeats the purpose and backfires. I also completely missed the point of the two street fighters getting beaten up (by an alien?) at the end. The narrator was also speaking a little too fast. You covered some really excellent material and I learned a lot, but I had to watch it twice to do so. Simple is best!

    5:25 here is contrary. Older engines have better reliability. New engines are made on purpose to break after 150k - 200k at that spot when the warranty ends. Because consumerism. My 1.9 ALH VW Golf, still the best, changed only consumables.

    • @yudiwahyudin6644
      @yudiwahyudin6644 Год назад

      Agree ...
      Indirect and direct injection diesel has more reliability. Cheap maintenance and if tuned properly it can perform like CRDi and as i know. 74-84hp indirect 2.5L N.A more stronger than 105hp 2.5L CRDi with 2T load on uphill. The old one just adjusting fuel timing and adding 1lt gasoline /20lt diesel.
      And indirect can run with waste engine oil, but must refine/filtered before. WMO price 3$/20L and just add 1lt gasoline/20L oil. It will be fine.
      love old diesel.. 😁😁
