Re: Oil replacement

Alex Terrell,
Of what our existing power grids can potentially manage (though not
hardly);
The currently out-of-production Corbin Sparrow offers one example of
what's suitable for 80% of our driving needs, although if such
transportation were given away for free I'd bet not more than 10% would
dare utilize such. The Topaz as offering two seats could entice perhaps
20% usage, whereas the Sparrow is limited to one soul that doesn't have
to go too far.

These are conventionally all-electric and usually having been
configured as operating upon the likes of the Optima or some other
lead/acid/gell batteries that are relatively of poor energy density and
even a wee bit pathetic on cycles (I'd say two years worth at best),
thus intended for the RV consumer or light commercial applications can
be greatly expanded upon by switching over to the H2O2/aluminum battery
that actually shouldn't require all that much space nor battery mass.
Thereby the little Sparrow or anything similar should be able to
sustain 65+mph (even on most grades) and still obtain a good 200 mile
range with loads of reserve capacity from a 30 kwh energy storage
resource that should only demand 18 amps at 120 VAC in order to fully
recharge the H2O2 within 16 hours. That's not half bad from less than a
70 lb. battery instead of the Optima alternative of 600+lbs. With 530
lbs less weight and of lots more energy density offering 6~8 times the
usable capacity and hardly none of the detrimental cycling compromises
should make the likes of the new and improved Sparrow/H2O2 worth
investing into. From there a new and improved inverter and better 3
phase or some other multi-pole altenrnative electric motor should
deliver this 200 mile range per 30 kwh battery charge that might even
become less discharged and/or travel further if it's been averaging
along at less than 3 kw for most of the local driving conditions being
somewhat less than 60 mph.

Remember that it was originally taking out roughly 3.9 KW in order to
apply 3.25 KW to the wheel for getting 60 miles down the straight and
narrow road while sustaining 60 mph from essentially little more than
4.4 shp while having to haul about those extra 530 lbs, and per such
speed and range the entire capacity of battery energy was spent, thus
few honestly counted upon getting half that mileage. However, even a
to/from capability of 30 miles per recharge should still have provided
a good portion of driving needs for local usage that might suit a good
portion of our driving needs.

Even though the 13 units of Optima battery are supposedly rated for
better than 10 kwh, in reality as for a 1 hour rate of discharge should
plan upon not more than 4 kwh, a 3 hour discharge rate and you'll be
doing good to obtain 5 kwh, not to mention the fact that with the
alternative H2O2/aluminum battery you'll avoid ripping the very heart
out of those 65 Ahr phony baloney rated Optimas, whereas the
H2O2/aluminum battery should perform best while being kept
self-regulated as toasty warm from discharging and otherwise not
internally self-destructing due to frequent cycling, especially if the
recharge cycle is kept to roughly a 4:1 ratio, meaning a 2 hr drive at
full 65+ mph could be followed up with an 8 hour recharge cycle,
although a 2:1 ratio of 4 hours worth wouldn't cause excessive heat nor
battery damage if there's an available 25 amp 240 VAC power source (30
amp clothes dyer receptacle) for plugging into.

The notion of the Sparrow or whatever similar all-electric car was also
intended to save upon a great deal of road and parking space (4
Sparrows per Hummer/SUV) in addition to offering zero pollution as well
as contributing almost zero noise. Of course the Sparrow isn't nearly
as aerobreaking by design nor nearly as intimidating, thus road-rage
might become a little embarrassing if it's emanating from the
birdy-like cockpit of your otherwise silent Sparrow. So, at best the
small all-elelectrics might only suit 10% of the driving force that's
intent upon causing as much polluted grid-lock and road-rage at the
same time each of those aerobreaking 9 mpg Hummers are most often
accommodating one extremely arrogant owel eating and tree burning soul
that could otherwise care less as to how many Muslims must die and/or
suffer per mile. Perhaps we should change our standard of mpg to mpm,
meaning miles per Muslim.

The Ultimate FAQ for Deep Cycle Battery Basics and Information; this
external page offers nothing about the H2O2/aluminum batteries, but
otherwise is simply one of the better links to battery types and usage:
http://www.windsun.com/Batteries/Battery_FAQ.

A few of perhaps hundreds of available pages on the hydrogen peroxide
and aluminum (h2o2/aluminum) power/fuel cells or battery that's
anything but unimpressive:

BTW; there is another perfectly viable hybrid Hummer option that's
offering a 100 KW H2O2/C12H26 IRRCE plus having the additional 100 KWh
worth of H2O2/aluminum battery as power to spare, that'll combine as to
apply 400 kw on demand for laying serious rubber of 0-60 in less than 4
seconds and, it'll still exceed 100 mpg as taken from that spendy
gallon of diesel(C12H26) without ever taking in a single m3 worth of
atmosphere. That's hauling 7 folks down the pike in good style, thus
making for 700 PMPG (is that good passenger miles per gallon or what?).

The cleanest engine in town that still kicks ***;
The IRRCE (Internal Rotary Rocket Combustion Engine) was somewhat
re-invented out of extremely thin air because, it seems I'd been
getting myself into the weird and thereby unassisted notion of how to
sufficiently power my robust LM-1 (Lunar Metro bus) about the surface
of our moon, but that was before I've since learned as to how
horrifically dust loaded and in places quite deep with said moon-dust
the physical environment actually is. Not that whatever dust is the
least bit of a problem for the IRRCE that's running entirely upon
H2O2/C12H26, however as for whatever surface track drives that may have
to be significantly modified to something less than a few kg/m2, which
I'm fairly certain can not be accommodated. Thus perhaps my LM-1 needs
to include the functionality as a moon-dust submarine, as this might
have to suffice since the LM-1 shell needs to remain fairly robust in
case something comes along that's arriving at 30+km/s (combined with
our 30 km/s represents that it's entirely possible to encounter a few
100+km/s items). Since there's no point in having bus windows (only
cameras), I suppose various ground penetration radars and sonar like
methods might tell the bus driver of what's ahead while the entire unit
has to navigate and manage to propel itself through such deep piles and
composite layers of carbon, titanium and basalt moon-dust as otherwise
having a good base layer of meteorites and impact related shards as
strewn upon the actual lunar bedrock. I'll also have to reconsider
traction could still become a nasty problem should that moon-dust
represent some form of non-compacting lubrication and/or possibly even
a bone-dry buoyancy factor, although I'd planned upon a lunar bus mass
of 100 tonnes (600 Earth tonnes) which should offer plenty of traction
as to climb out of any hole or ocean of such dust. Of course, now that
I'm being informed there's 0.03 psi (0.002 bar) worth of an atmosphere
available and that more atmosphere can be artificially created, I
believe that's actually getting sufficient for accommodating a
hot-tipped gyrocopter sort of lander as the above surface transporter
that's also H2O2/C12H26 powered.

It's too bad that not even - The Washington Post - nor - The New York
Times - can work with the whole truth and nothing but the truth about
our moon, but then even NOVA, NPR and PBS are about to become 'Skull
and Bones' moderated to death as to information having been excluded as
to the physical moon environment that doesn't entirely match the rather
unusually low solar influx and thereby total lack of any nasty
radiation and thereby somehow sharing off much less of the
secondary/recoil levels of most other such photons from hard-X-ray to
those of the UV-a and Near-UV of blacklight near-blue photons that
apparently didn't coexist, or as to avoiding whatever's conflicting
with their rather bright/55% albedo and of their extremely thin layer
of clumping moon-dust that our NASA/Apollo teams reported and
supposedly photographed via their unfiltered Kodak eye, with never once
so much as noticing an arriving dust-bunny, much less observing any
debris or small meteors passing by or otherwise impacting within their
supposed 3e-15 bar (near absolute vacuum) atmosphere where even such
small impacts should have been rather horrific visual events and at
such a slight gravity of 1.623 m/s/s becoming quite dusty at that, and
somehow out of their 6 missions still not having established one
interactive instrument, camera, SAR image receiving aperture,
transponding strobe or interactive laser to work with, at least there's
been absolutely nothing by which independent scientist and/or amateur
astronomers could have utilized for learning so much other important
moon and Earth hard-science from. Even their most recent NASA/ESA
SMART-1 mission having been moderated to near death so as to avoid
disclosing upon anything that's the least bit contrary to any of those
original NASA/Apollo missions where all of their cold-war cows (meaning
hard-evidence and mission fly-by-rocket engineering) vanished into thin
air.

Thus whatever fuel consumption may have to remain as another one of
those 'so what's the difference' qualifiers as for those WMD that
simply didn't exist. Perhaps we can run our cars and toys upon spare
Muslim body parts.
