Time for another topic round table discussion. This one is all from things I simply see and hear going on in the world around us today. We will start with some comments on education, dig into a new concern with the CoVid vaccines and get into a ton of variety today.

Join me today as we discuss courage, wrong speak, anarcho thought, electric vehicles, money market accounts, Bitcoin, virtual nations, chickens, strategic relocation and more.

Join Me Today To Discuss…

QOTD – Courage is knowing what not to fear – Plato
The people who brought you trigger warning are now triggered by the term triggered
One way to open the door to anarcho thinking with a simple question
Electric vehicles are now 5 years ahead of the previous timeline
Money market regulators want to reduce liquidity of funds – another Fnord to examine
Another BTC ETF is being proposed but the SEC has punted making a decision again, what does this mean?
Are virtual nations going to arise soon, are they here already, perhaps my original concept is flawed
A stupid and yet smart piece of advice from a chicken feed producer, and using to examine logical thought
What role does “Agenda 2030” or “The Great Reset” play in my advice to get out of the cities

Just recently discovered your show – excellent work!

Interesting to hear your thoughts on recharging electric vehicles and “load on the grid”!

I had been thinking about this recently and I thought: if I had an electric truck with an electric motor and battery system, why couldn’t I put a gasoline generator and an inverter in the back, and simply recharge the batteries as I’m driving along? This idea would be analogous to how a diesel train works, which is actually an electric vehicle. The train burns the diesel in a generator to continuously recharge its batteries to power the electric motors which move the wheels. The advantage of this is that it allows the generators to work at a steady pace and operate as efficiently as possible, while allowing the battery system to handle periods of peak power.

My car engine can produce over 100 hp but how often do I actually need this much power – maybe a few seconds per week as a accelerate into traffic? An all-electric vehicle with a powerful motor can easily handle the peak power demands needed for acceleration and driving up hills, but the problem is the batteries can only hold a limited amount of total energy. As you allude to in your show, this can be solved by placing a small gasoline generator within the vehicle to charge up the batteries on-demand as needed, or perhaps continuously. I think the one potential of the electric vehicle is not as a replacement for gasoline fuel, but rather as a way to utilize the energy in gasoline much more efficiently.

And of course, this would also allow your truck to essentially become a moving power station, which can be very handy.

Thanks for all your work – really appreciated!

  Exactly how some hybrids work right now.
