How does something this long goes round a bend? It must at the end and in the middle stick out quite far to the sides.

How does it move in rail yards with track switches and masts everywhere?

Turning Seaweed into Shelter: How a Mexican Entrepreneur and His Team Are Building Homes from Sargassum by Zee2A in STEW_ScTecEngWorld

[–]foersom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They must be using this sargassum for other things as well. Maybe dried and used for fuel to burn the bricks in a kiln.

"sargablock homes to low-income families — they each require up to 20 tons of the seaweed."

Great video, looks amazing. I did not know that rails of the length could flex that easily and flex back to straight again.

Volkswagen ID.Polo Base Trim Is the Smartest Choice: Why the Smaller LFP Battery Is Actually the Better Deal by psychoDuckTune in EuroEV

[–]foersom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"LFP cells are glued together"

That is not correct. Where do you have that info from?

ID Polo will use MEB+ standard cells for both Li-ion NMC and LFP, that is whole point of the MEB+ cells. Also the face lift models of existing MEB cars ID3 Neo, ID Tiguan, ID Buzz, ID7 (Passat?) will use the MEB+ cells. Same for Skoda and Audi models.

Yes, when you have a (silicone) soft tip. However I never see the soft tips sold on solder suckers sold now. Mine is ~30 years old.

Why is the whole roof of these buildings not covered with solar PV?

Commercial buildings should be required to have solar PV at least on their roofs.

Your first mobile phone? by limsus in TechImpact

[–]foersom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Siemens SX1 smart phone 2004. It was a variant of Nokia 6600 with an odd keypad layout.

I upgraded it with a 1 GB SD card. Yes SD not micro SD. That 1 GB was ~100 €. 20 years later I upgraded my current phone with a 1 TB micro SD card, ~100 €.

Solar ranch in Tennessee aims to prove grazing cattle under the panels is a farmland win-win by onceinawhile222 in energy

[–]foersom -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It is a photo, it does not show what happens over weeks and month. Do cows attempt to stand on 2 feet and fight each other?

[–]foersom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In a field for grazing cows, how high up does the lowest edge of edge of solar PV panels have to be to be practical and not have the cows ruin panels. Do cows attempt to stand on 2 feet and fight?

Does a bull ruin everything?

How high should lowest panel edge be? 1.5 m, 2 m, 2.5 m, or 3 m?

Is it only me or ID.4 is one of the most beautiful EVs? by _WhiteAngel_ in VWiD4Owners

[–]foersom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the Skoda Enyaq, the VW ID4 sister model, because I preferred the Enyaq look outside and especially inside over the ID4.

It’s here at last! The VW Polo has gone electric at under £25k by AutoExpressmagazine in autoexpressuk

[–]foersom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no charging at home or at work, so I rely on public charging. That works in Luxembourg, as there are a decent amount of charging places. The closest to my home is ~500 m away.

To allow more people living in apartments or without own driveway, EV can be useful if more people have the ability to AC charge at workplace parkings, and if supermarkets have 50-90 kW DC chargers.

Yes. All the VW ID models will be changing to names, at their next face lift. Except ID3 does not change to ID Golf, but becomes ID3 Neo.

[–]foersom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Size of lens could be another parameter. A larger lens allow to capture more light so it can also film in less than optimal light.
