Voicenote: Electric Hybrid Motorcycle
(download)
Inspired by railway engines.
Preliminary idea, not polished. Build a fully electric motorcycle, put in two batteries, one large, other small. Also add a generator and a diesel or petrol engine to drive it. Run the bike off battery, when battery is low, use secondary battery to fire up engine and charge battery + run bike from the electricity produced. Also look into sterling engine: previously deemed impractical for vehicles since torque can't be controlled easily. If it keeps generating electricity, it can be used as needed to drive motors. Bike becomes fly-by-wire, less cables. No clutch. Also since bike runs the engine to produce electricity, it can be controlled to produce optimum amount according to load via auto throttling and even better via fuel injection instead of wasting fuel running it full speed.Love is like…
Love is like your motorcycle's silencer giving you a nasty scald on your hand as you poke around the engine mid-ride to fix a loose screw. It's a quick damage. Merely a fraction of a second before you get to pull your hand away. But by that time damage is done. You look at your
hand, and see the change in color. Meh, not a big thing. Or that's what you think. It turns black. You do everything not to tear the tender burnt skin. You ensure it is safe. You protect it with all your attention as if it was everything you ever cared about. Then the wound starts to heal slowly. First that tender skin goes dry. It falls off, revealing the pink underside of your brown skin ;) it still needs care to ensure you don't wince in pain due to a negligent brush against some curtain. Then it heals over time... and you are left with a wound that seems to take forever to go away. You fuss over it. Write blog posts about it. Your friends ask you if you're alright. Then one day it heals completely. There's a mark left that'll take years to fade off. You'll keep looking at it until you have a fresh scald to nurse. Yes love is like that ;)
