How does that make McDonald's stupid? I'm surprised they didn't just give you lettuce and cheese with no buns :P

Just the thought of McDonalds food makes me sick Image. Actually, any kind of fast food is gross to me, it all looks nasty.

Welcome back, major stuff i don't think so. Unless you count the big discussion about the Electric-Fuel cars major.

Bojan wrote:The highest efficiency a petrol car can achieve is 0.52 km/MJ (source. What today's hybrids can do is about 0.56 km/MJ for the Prius. Tesla roadster's electical outlet to wheels efficiency is 2.18km/MJ. If you take in account energy production from petrol and transport from power station to the outlet, Tesla's efficiency is still 1.14km/MJ which is double of that from the Prius.
That still doesn't include the manufacturing and recycling of the battery.
Bojan wrote:Now the tesla roadster uses Li-Ion batteries. Now imagine an electric car using these batteries.
With the current level of technology, that battery would need to be the size of your house in order to power a laptop. There is no betavoltaic battery of that size which can provide 45 watts of power. To have one of those powering your car, it would need to be . . . say . . . as big as an office block?

Another point is that betavoltaic batteries degrade steadily over time, and even after one year it would not supply the required output. Of course, you can model your energy requirement on the half-life of the battery, but that means you have to double the battery's size.
Bojan wrote:Normal Li-ion batteries and petrol power plants have double the energy efficiency of a petrol car. And that's simply by replacing the engine, not the whole propulsion system by using separate motors for each wheel. That improves efficiency even more.
And the technology is only at the beginning while petrol engine research is pretty far off.
Again, that efficiency theory doesn't include the manufacture and recycling of the batteries.

In my opinion, electric cars will remain unviable until battery technology improves drastically.
Even then, I still don't want an electric car, for all the reasons I have mentioned before.

So I stand by my original statement: Electric cars = fail.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!! naaaaa
I've been updated so don't worry...

oh and andre, [-X don't expect me to be like "OMFG PRO STREET GOT CANCELLED!!! ZOMFG!!" or anything like that....bc i just activated the option to send me news to my email LOL :mrgreen:

Anyways thanks guys for the welcome. I'm also glad to be back with the NFS veterans. =D>

In refer to the topic, what's the whole point of talking about what kind of battery contaminates in a better way our world???? And if someone says :"Why is contaminating if those are designed to avoid contaminating?" BUT: "What is processes in order to do that battery?" They use natural resources to do it, they just blow up forests, farms, etc...they use the nature!!!

Excuse me if I were a lil bit rude there, but it's the true. It's clear that we're doomed, the whole society is almost dead. Guys, we have 1 world, and I DON'T want a world in which my future kids will have to "live" or let's call it survive to breath fresh air. What I most hate is that the ppl who has the power to save us is not doing it. The gobverments are just standing there killing us silently, absorbing the natural resources without conciousness....and what are we doing to stop it? I think thats a better point to talk instead of chatting about if a battery save the world....because it will not.

Let's think, just for a lil bit what is around us.

McLaren literally shiznit their pants. Raikkonen ftw, he finally grabs the title and he's the one that deserves it most. :o

Lewis certainly is a good driver, but I don't think he deserved to become champion in his rookie year. Luck was mostly on his side this season, as Ferrari spilled quite a lot of points due to their unreliable car. But seriously, sliding off the track in the first lap.. He thought he could easily overtake Alonso, clearly too much confidence. Oh well, that's what happens when you're in reach of the world title..
