What about HBV? In MIAM salads!
99 km today but by road bike ...
I come back a little to what Prof. said Indeed, the work carried out by individuals probably does not have the quality or the professionalism of an engine manufacturer.
But if that is enough, why should it be reprehensible and should we go further?
In the past, many innovations have come from individuals who worked at home (hold the first oto and De Dion engines ...). These works were then largely sufficient to propel a car of the time to the rhythm of the time.
If we need a "50" efficiency why absolutely want to do "80"?
Yes certainly, this was true for the time!
Unfortunately it is no longer too possible today.
You are right for 50 and 80 but the problem is not so much there.
The engines are more and more pointed and tolerate less and less different fuels from that provided by the manufacturer.
These are colossal technical and financial means that would be necessary to carry out modifications ensuring operational safety, pollution control, driving pleasure equal to those of the manufacturer.
Mission impossible in my opinion without real will from industry and public authorities.
Another important point is the real desire of all consumers to want to move towards other fuels that are cleaner than those from fossil fuels.
I think we are the last straw in the ocean.
This drop of water which would like to change things for the better but which fights unarmed in the face of this human ocean which dreams only of innovations for its daily well being without really perceiving the consequences of its action.
More concretely; even if the fuel becomes too expensive and provokes an outcry, the public authorities would easily cope by making a gesture on taxes or other; the bellows would fall quickly in my opinion.
Too bad, but that's unfortunately how I see the situation.
See you soon.
