Fuck this shit... Its become a modern scam just like everything else... I have to pump every single day for this stupid shit so how do I set myself free from this fucking scam? yes, ofc I still want to ride around in the comfort and luxury of my 80 thousand dollar SUV.
>>2800616Grow sisal grass and get a bio digester and convert to methane.Or grow sugar cane and make ethanol if you're in the tropics
>>2800616Shit bate mate, try harder.
unironically electric. plugging in every day when you get home takes way less time than going to the gas station.
>>2800619ive looked into this unironically but fermentation takes lots of time... a month or so.. and the ethanol is made from suger crops... I dont have access to sugar crops to actually make this work at scale.. Where i live theres only trees and regular plants as far as biomass...
>>2800616
>>2800629If you only have regular plants ypu need a methane digester, sugar is the only profitable ethanol source. Corn even at industrial perfect US scales is a net negative energy wise, so no matter how well you making it, you're not getting any $ for it be a use it cost you 1.2 barrels of gas to make 1 barrel of corn juice. The only profit is in the government subsidies.Sugar cane is better and can be profitable but that doesn't grow everywhere.
im a fat ass and i bought a bike, and my whole life i remember biking being horrible, i was always tired and worn out and wanted to stop and catch my breath. now i go on 3 hour rides for fun and can get to the other side of town in like 15 minutes. it's pretty great.
>>2800616>I still want to ride around in the comfort and luxury of my 80 thousand dollar SUVYou are the cancer killing the world.
>>2800636bikes are some of the most fuel efficient vehicles man has ever made, higher than even giant container ships. they're a practical means of transport over small distances for even an out of shape fatass. it's pretty sad that in the US they're relegated to a means of transport for children and hobos because they're far more useful than a lot of people give them credit for. only the shittiest of surburban hellholes have nothing within a 10 mile radius that you coud feasibly bike to.
>>2800660>bikingYou either look like you're about to rob someone or take it up the ass.
>>2800616Electric, only that now your 80k SUV will cost 100k+. Charge at home.
>>2800616Buy an $80K BEV SUV. You're rich enough that fuel prices are not a real problem if your vehicle cost eighty grand so you can afford a second one to be even sillier than you already are.
>>2800616Walk
>>2800616complains about gas prices. wants to spend even more money on something he will never get to work. pic related.
>>2800616There really is no solution aside from switching to electric. Growing crops and converting them to fuel on a scale that will handle your day to day fuel needs is a massive undertaking that will eat up most of your free time. It would make way more sense as far as time usage is concerned to just put in a few more hours at work each week to offset fuel costs.Also you'd need a large amount of land to grow enough crop to cover the fuel usage, which I assume is quite high considering you fill up your suv "every single day". If your suv has a strangely small tank at like 15 gallons AND you get garbage fuel economy like 15 mpg, that's still 225 miles per day if you're filling up every single day. Perhaps you need to reevaluate your situation, maybe get a job that's closer to home, or move somewhere closer to work? Because that's a ridiculous amount of travel. Spending like 5 hours of every day driving to & from work sounds absolutely miserable.
>>2800629Sweet sorghum should give at least one harvest a year. You can press the juice into drums and directly pitch yeast in the field. It wipes the floor with cane and corn for ethanol but nobody except hillbillies and chinaman are aware the plant even exists.
Buy property that has natural gas in the deed. Convert vehicle to natural gas.Profit.
>>2800622This. Electric should be government mandated for the convenience alone. Enough with these unreliable polluting ice toys already.
>>2800836Those russian dashcam videos of cars spontaneously exploding are caused by /diy/ natural gas or propane conversions
>>2800841>Electric should be government mandatedCompletely impossible with our current infrastructure. The modern electrical grid is not able to distribute the amount of juice required to sustain the whole population plugging in their electric vehicles at day's end. We'd need to replace pretty much the entire electrical infrastructure.
>>2800856A society becomes great when old men install utility poles whose power they know they'll never drive with.
>>2800850Don't do a russian quality conversion?
>>2800616It depends on how much do you drive. I have a Diesel Mitsubishi 2007 Pajero and a full electric Toyota Proace.I can use the Proace for 95% of my rides and charge it at home with my solar system in 4-5 hours of sun. For the rest i get in the Pajero.
>>2800660>bikes>fuel efficientMy brother in christ, you, a biological organism, are not an efficient processor of fuel, at all.
>>2800994Did I say I was?
>>2801055what do you think powers the bike
>>2801057I put a loaf of bread on my car last week and it's still not charged yet
>>2801059i feed my car like a baby bird
>>2800616those prices are pretty good, gas is like 2-4x that price in the rest of the world.
>>2800856Technically you are correct, and it is a problem that needs fixing, but talking points like that are used to shut down rollouts of electric charging stations and I'm tired of it. We don't have a grid to support the chargers because we don't have a need for a grid to support the chargers because we don't have the chargers which we can't build because we don't have a grid...I get so fuckoff tired of hearing boomers making this argument. Yes we need to upgrade the grid. We need to do a fucking TON of infrastructure upgrades in this country. Lets all start fixing one problem (Gas cars kind of suck) and use that to put pressure on fixing other problems. Yes I know it will make things cost more. I don't care. Tax the shit out of vulture "investment" firms and fix another problem while you're at it.
>>2801063They are even lower considering the shit ton of inflation we have.
>>2800616I took a couple of gas cans to these style pumps you see everywherethe actual price per gallon is always 1-2$ more than advertised because they short you hard on amount
>>2801101You know a 1 gallon gas can holds more than 1 gallon if you fill it to the brim, right?
>>2800616get a newer hybrid like the maverick. I know it sounds gay but if you drive over 20k miles a year you'll save about $200 a month on gas over your suv. it'll end up paying for itself
>>2801079Gas cars are great your a piece of shit. Co2 is great for the planet. We almost became a wasteland because plants were so starved for co2
>>2801079No amount of copper wires or exotic dielectrics are going to make your shitter electric rollerskate any more efficient for any "grid" that still runs on oil and coal. Dipshit. All you're going to do is burn even more fossil fuel energy to overcome the loss in resistance needed to take an energy dense material and perturb it though miles of solid copper line so that your inefficient battery can lose most of it through discharging naturally by not being used. Or by electrowelding you in a faraday cage of irony because you were stupid enough to buy a car named after a man who shit on battery cars and thought they were the waste because of aforementioned reasons.
>>2801101Ullage, what is it?
>>2801202I do not and have never given a single fly fuck what someone dead 50 years thought about modern technology. You post, however (accidentally) does raise a good point. Production and distribution of electricity relies a lot on fossil fuels. This is an obvious area to improve and, shockingly, is an area the United States is improving upon! Baseload nuclear is being played around with again and it seems like 1 out of every 3 startups is trying to field a solution to the intermittency of green energy. Solar cells are somehow STILL getting cheaper and small scale wind is coming online. I'm not sure if you actually read my post, but you are making the same boomer argument everyone always does where, because a whole system isn't perfect, we shouldn't leave a broken system with little room for improvement. Tell me, gas prices will only ever keep getting higher and there doesn't seem to be a lot more efficiency we can get out of ICE, how would you solve this problem?
>>2801279>I do not and have never given a single fly fuck what someone dead 50 years thought about modern technology. He discovered the exact same rotating magnetic fields "modern technology" uses today. The wireless you're shitposting on.

No, see what you don't understand is how power actually works. Explain how a windmill/wolar array perturbs an archaic hertzian waveform (the same one the guy you shit on came up with it) across thousands of miles . The answer is they don't. That's why there are diesel generators running in the background at all times regardless in order to perturb that archaic herzian waveform You don't just snyc up to a generator using shitwheels and Infared obsidian wafer rofl. How stupid are you?>Tell me, gas prices will only ever keep getting higher and there doesn't seem to be a lot more efficiency we can get out of ICE, how would you solve this problem?By stopping green energy regulations and drilling our own oil so it's no longer shipped on Warren Buffets trains from Canada. Too busy with shutting pipelines down I guess (which alleviates the inefficient transport via train rofl). The problem is the power is wasted as heat that could be converted to electricity for use. You could have 200mpg cars this way, but all of them unfortunately would violate the EPA.

Even if you have shitty mpg and drive alot .... your annual fuel cost is under5000Lol so think deeper and realize the real ripoff is the rent/ mortgage and food that costs much more
Between 30k used vehicles and $5 a fucking gallon gas, theyre trying to phase us out!!!
>>2801290I bet you believe electricity "travels" and "has a speed" too.
>>2801369I know this might sound dismissive, but I lost my brother to suicide not long after he started saying things like this. You are suffering from delusions and need help.
>>2801429do 4chan schizos ever kill themselves? I thought this website was some kind of twisted therapy for them.
>>2800616If your in the south, grow seed oil crops and make biodiesel. If your in the north, grow sorghum and make ethanol. If your more tech oriented, convert an older 90s car truck to electric (old nissan leaf parts are good for this) and charge it with solar.ride a bike or walk you fatass.
>>2801454>I thought this website was some kind of twisted therapy for them.I'm pretty sure this is literally one of the worst places for them to be, ngl.I mean, to be fair, it's one of the worst places to be when you're not a schizo, either, so...
>>2801474It's certainly not going to fix them, but it seems to me that going on to message boards every day and trying to redpill anonymous strangers on perturbing archaic hertzian waveforms gives them something to live for.
>>2801454This website gives people a place to live their delusions and find others that latch onto them. It isn't specifically bad but it does give them less reason to seek the help they need. Seriously where else are you going to find someone who believes solar panels are fake but invisible? diesel generators are everywhere.
>>2801515They're not invisible, retard. They're hidden in barns that are conveniently right next to every 'solar' farm.
>>2800616>pump every single daym8 wat
>unironically advocating for EVsFags.
>>2800994Biologicals also require fuel. This fuel is usually measured in Calories. A Calorie is a perfectly fine unit for defining the amount in energy contained within petroleum based “fuel”. There is nothing wrong with the anons assertion that bicycles are fuel efficient.
>>2801571I think he fails to understand just how inefficient an internal combustion engine is.
>>2801429Your weak father has nothing to do with electrical engineering. Imagine believing something that doesn't even work unless the conditions at point a and b are already set up for it to function, then misconstruing this as a "speed".
>>2801529Probably one of those retards that goes to the pump and only puts in 5 dollars instead of just filling up once a week or so
>>2801202Central generation/transmission is very efficient though, even if we were 100% using fossil fuels, which we aren't. The long term future of electric generation is likely nuclear fission though. It's the only non fossil fuel that has a chance, unless someone figures out net positive fusion at scale, which I'm not holding my breath for.

Every inventor that wanted to go public, and yet was greedy, not giving his invention away, like fire or the wheel, was killed.Maxwell's equations incorporate the aether, but Oliver Heaviside 'simplified' his equations after his death. It's these simplified, broken equations that are used to say that apparently no extra-dimensionality is possible.The rule of conservation of energy does not change: the fundamental change is that we exist in a sea of energy, not an empty vacuum. Thus there is a conversion of energy of the aether, into more recognizable forms, like regular AC power.

1 honestly the best option for a modern man is a prius, 50 miles per gallonthe modern ones even have electrical plugsmaking them even more versitile and being able to charge like an electrical car with solar better2, actually having an electric car if you have solar panels, cars like a chevy volt are perfect for just going 20 30 miles, you can charge at home with your home panelsonly if you have panels to charge the car3 option is ironically making your own biofiuelthis isnt hard if youra redneck typeget like an old diesel volvothere are places that do conversions4 get a job down the streetyou can also do things like my honda civic has economy mode and if you excellerate oddly it saves a ton of fuel going slow like old ladygo to some shithole like europe or asia use train
getting biodieselyou make itthe easiest is going to a restauraunt, they pay to dispose of oilso you set a deal tankthen you filter it with micron filters and you can burn it in a diesel engineyou can also grow seeds of any kind and juice them for the oil
but the future will be hydrogenthis is the future and will be what toyota is already doingits the most efficent of all of them and it wont run out or shit like solar
take the wood pill

>>2802004>its the most efficent of all of themExcept in all the ways that matter.
I can get you free energy by the end of the year if I can get a little help from a high-voltage electrical engineer willing to work for a very low price.
>>2803342This gives me an idea. So power companies have long known about the old scam of putting a big inductor underneath the power lines to steal power and they can fairly easily root it out. But what if you hid it inside a big truck with batteries inside? Then you could move it every day and they would never be able to find you.
>>2803358That's as illegal as it is impractical. And I'm sure they're not as clueless as you think they are.
