How about a train? They are about 90% efficient for axample.
Is that thermal efficiency? And for what type of train? I'd expect diesels to have different efficiencies to electrics. And when you calculate overall efficiency for an electric you have to take into account the efficiency of the generating plant and transmission losses. The last time I looked generating plants were less than 50% efficient (but it does depend on how they are fueled).

No, its its mechanical efficiency. Diesels are about 45%, petrol engines about 40%. Steam engines by the way are abot 12%. If the electric motor is used for braking too then the efficiancy of an electric motor can be further improved overall.

Don't give a damn about that. My complaint about you and this thread is your absolute willingness to desecrate this bloke almost before his body is cold. And that is bad form.

It's perfectly normal to be glad about a bad person's death. He was a rotten apple, and now he is going to the landfill.

As if any further proof were needed that your obsession totally dominates your psyche... So tell me. Never mind CSS - have you considered getting professional psychological help? :rolleyes:

Hey, let's take this a step further... Why not just say something like, "I bet he molested children," just to insult him a little more? Would that make you feel special? Would it make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
Now you are just being silly.

You're the one taking a man who dedicated his life to science, and insulting him for trivial reasons and with unsupported assumptions, just because you disagree with his viewpoints. I thought you were better than this, but it looks like I drastically overestimated you.

Homeopathic badness. You are our rotten apple nonetheless. How did you calculate that by the way? Do you award bad-points?

Personification of bad form in this forum has until Fat_Boy's behaviour today has been almost exclusively yours. Bad form is not a badge of honour howsoever you slice it. Proud are you of your continued bad form? I wouldn't be if I were you, thankfully I'm not.

usual thoughts of someone with no education at all, who can't see that America the powerful, America the beautiful relies a lot on other countries to survive, China for example, mexicans to do the jobs that they're too lazy to do and because in their delusional world think they are chefs, software engineers and pharmacists at the same time :rolleyes: on Mexico to grow their crops and you can't deny the fact, because I've been at Walmart, Food Lion, KMart and half the produce they have there is from other countries, mostly from Mexico(limes, tomatoes, onions just as an example), to build the cars, my "american" car was built in Mexico (funny though) But like I said, that's only from someone with no education, with no ability to do some research, the americans I work with, pretty much very educated, are hard workers, humble and don't think of others persons or countries what our chef thinks about them, those are the true americans, americans that can think for themselves and don't need someone to come and think for them, you? you just were very lucky to be born in this country. BTW, have you kissed Ron's Paul poster today?? I already did to my Che's poster and also my mom, that's is a third world monkey... I growled to her twice...

Do you actually think this guy that is dead gives a flying f*** about what you think or feel about him? he's dead, he doesn't care, trust me, his family? they don't come to this site to check news about his dad/husband/grandpa/brother/son/etc etc they are worried about other stuff. So why don't we all give it a rest and move to the next topic in hand?

If taxes were low, and there were no regulation other countries would be building their factories here. Capeesh? Caprende morono?

I can't talk about China... but Mexico... income tax 39%, sales tax (it's called VAT) 16%, property taxes 2.5% of the value of the property, I have to agree that labor is cheaper down there, but related to taxes so you end up paying around 50% of your income or more, here is no higher than 40%, see your lack of knowledge? go and read about it. And regulations? see your ignorance about the subject? banks, companies, factories, everything is regulated, health care, everything... one example of the regulations, only mexicans can buy properties in Mexico, if an american tries to buy one, they can't, there are ways to turn around this la though, but I already have a house here in the US, just required my SSN, ID, proof of legal residency and that's it... I have a house So my recommendation is and will always be, before you say anything, look around the internet, google is your friend, the information is there, the same way you research about drugs that make you feel like a pharmacist, do the same when you want to talk about something with more educated people than you.

I said nothing of Mexico or China, I simply said low taxes and free-markets promote growth.
