E = mc² + AI must be the obvious answer

[–] Little8Lost@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

What i think is funny is that AI has to equal 0 so its actually saying that AI is useless
So people fond of AI are criticising it themselves XD

I've legitimately had someone suggest adding a small wind turbine to a car to generate power to charge the car as it's moving.

the CIA doesn't want you to know this

Someone give this man a job now

Turbines? Haven't these people ever heard of piezoelectrics? Actually, instead of that take one of those calculator we had in school that ran on light. Take the thingie at the top of the calculator out, put it in the front window of the car, connect it to the battery and Bob is your uncle.

You're eating the air resistance anyway so probably not the worst idea if it generates a more than negligible amount.

It will increase air resistance, so you don't gain anything (a turbine will need more power to spin when there is an electric load).

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

You have just invented a perpetuum mobile machine. The turbine will power the car which, whilst moving, will in turn power the turbine. Pure genious.

It’s a formulation of various hydrocarbons.

You excite it in a closed chamber and capture the expansion of gasses. You then use this captured energy to make something magnetic spin around next to some coils.

This in turn will create a flow of electrons you can use to drive a motor.

"Antrepreneur" HAHAHA

I hated working in startups and I'd get so many wackos pitching their bazillion dollar ideas to create the next Facebook.

[–] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 19 points 1 month ago

Simple really:

(Smaller battery) + (Greater capacity) + (Inexpensive Cost) = More Sales

Now the secret to achieving all three of those things rather than just two can be revealed to you for a small nine figure sum for the next ten years...

Formula 2. He wants to make F2 cars.

So kind of you to take the time to consider his auspicious offer, what with all the millions of messages you receive!
