Hello everyone, hi Lumberjack,

It was worth to me some exacerbated reactions of people (I do not know who anymore?) retorting me that the output could not be good ... I even saw (I must have kept it somewhere) a presentation by an engineer (mechanical graduate?
) showing that it could not work because of a not good performance!
Anyway, I believed in it for a long time ...
You're a fan of the electric hybrid, well we agree. I never implied that you were against elsewhere
Exaggeration, no matter where it comes from, is never a good advisor ...
10% loss at each gear by counting 6 gears in a row (is that what you're saying?) That gives us 53% of power transmitted between the crankshaft and the wheels ...
Are you kidding yourself? What is your mechanical engineering degree?
You will find out, my beloved Bois man, a gear that has 5% loss, it's already very good ... With a little wear and splash in the oil, it turns around 92%
And the returns are not added as you say and as I never wrote, but they multiply ...
with 6 power crossings from one gear to another, the efficiency is only 0.92 ^ 6 = 56%
A pure electric transmission easily makes more than 90%, almost 2 times more ...
Concerning point 4, I suppose that you should not have followed the last evolutions of the turbocharged engines with direct injection whose torque curves are flat (clipped by the regulation) between 1600-1800 rpm and 5000 rpm. ..
Do you think I don't know about this? Otherwise,
do not confuse optimized torque and optimal performance : Idea:
But I agree with you that electric traction is perfectly suited to the mobility of private vehicles.
Well here
Absolute leader, hi, hi, hi!
They were alone ...
Hats off to the pioneers of this great house who had the courage to carry their project to the end, they did not have to make friends.
Absolutely, they were the only ones and you caught my rush of humor
It would never occur to you that maybe, eventually, we never know each other (sometimes if someone other than you is right ...) there might not be only that as reasons, but also a pinch of technical difficulties / economic positioning of the products which would make it not so easy to sell them?
The hybrid poses neither major technical difficulty nor sales difficulty (quite the contrary ...); except perhaps in Zimbabwe or Greenland. In all the OECD countries, they would make a commercial box like a long time one did not see it and would give many jobs.
On this point, don't bother cutting your hair in 4
