Tesla’s electric power for the truck and the use of electricity in heavy-duty transporting



(Picture 1)

Tesla has made history, and build brand new concept for heavy-duty vehicles. In that vehicle is electric motors for driving the truck forward. Making of the electric truck is nothing that is made with passenger cars. The needed parts are of course bigger, but technology what is used is tested in many smaller vehicles. And the major problem of electricity usage in heavy transport systems is that the battery’s power would go down, and in the short term driving, there would be no time to recharge those batteries.


The electric system is very useful in heavy-duty vehicles because it can give also the trailer capacity to operate as the part of the pulling system. In normal vehicles, the wheels of the trailer are not connected to the motor system, and that makes this kind of heavy-duty vehicles to operate on bad roads. If the trailer’s wheels are used in driving sequences, and they are equipped with motors, that would make the trailer more capacities than before.


There are two ways to make the truck with electric motors. One is to use the pure electric system, but that would need recharge stations. But in this case, the normal power voltage cable could give the needed electricity for that system. Another is to use the diesel-electric system, where the diesel motor would use generators, and the electric power would be transfer to the electric motors, what is installed in every wheel under this vehicle. This would give the car or truck extreme high speed, and the limit of the speed is the endurance of electric motors. That kind of truck can, in theory, leave even sport scars behind them.

The electric driving system can be used selectively. When the batteries are low, the computer would activate the diesel-system. And in the short drive, there could be used only electricity. This means that the tank of the vehicle must not fill at all if there would be found recharge points on the road. In this system is able to use solar panels for increasing the capacity of the battery. Those diesel motors are meant to use only in the forests, where will not found the recharge points. But this kind of vehicles can use also normal power plugs to reload their batteries. So if this project would be the success, the heavy transportation would be more economical and kindly for the environment than ever before.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources.

   Use virtual "perpetual motion machines"  and seawater as energy sources.  The Archimedean screw can offer almost endless energy sources.  "Robert Fludd's 1618 "water screw" perpetual motion machine from a 1660 wood engraving. It is widely credited as the first attempt to describe such a device." (Wikipedia/Perpetual motion) The term "virtual perpetual motion machine" means a machine. That pulls water to the upper tank using a capillary tube. Then that water will fall through the generator or turbine wheel. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", that is impossible because of laws of thermodynamics.  The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a " real perpetual motion machine", which is impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics.  The real perpetual motion machines don't use outside energy. And that's why they are not possible....

Will humans survive the sun's red giant stage?

"As the Sun matures into a Red Giant, the oceans will boil and Earth will become uninhabitable." (The Conversation, The sun won’t die for 5 billion years, so why do humans have only 1 billion years left on Earth?) Sooner or later, all stars use their hydrogen. And then they turn into red giants. Sun is a yellow G spectral class star that turns into a white dwarf. But before that, the sun will turn larger.  The sun turns red and that means. It starts to send more infrared radiation. This thing will turn Earth into a hellish temperature that vaporizes water from Earth.  It's possible. That Earth will also vaporize with Venus and Mercury. Some scientists say that we have only 1 billion years to move farther in the solar system. The habitable zone will go to the distance of Jupiter and Saturn, and maybe humans find a safe place in those distant moons.  It's possible that before Sun will grow too large humans make large groups of mirror satellites or large shields that sho...

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.  An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate.  AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru...
