looks significantly lowered? Software engineer probably forgot to do actual trig to baseline measurements and assumed vehicle would always be at factory height. Or they hired an ex-boeing QA supervisor.

It's not just transmission lines it is the copper windings in the motors and the battery connects and other wiring in the car itself.

Don’t forget copper piping, or has the whole world converted to PEX…….

I know you are trying to be funny but there is a study that says in order for Britton to go full ev it will take 3 years of the world's copper mining, leaving no copper for anything else.

Don’t forget Anode production that requires graphite which comes from burning coal to produce synthetic graphite. There is a limited supply of natural mined graphite.

And yeah not a smart move depleting copper, I don’t think PEX will work for refrigeration lines……

Like I said it was 40 years ago and if I remember correctly, he was an engineer at NASA at the time that was just tinkering on it in his home garage. It may have very well been both big auto and oil that stepped in when they got word if what he was doing and tried to steal/stop him from proceeding further.

I don't have any hard facts or details but lived in the area and worked as an auto tech at the time. I believe when they tried to steal/stop him from proceeding he just closed the project down and would never divulge any info to them. He was not in it for the money but rather to help the everyday person since this was right after the gas crunch/shortages of the 70s.

Believe me or not it makes no difference now.

I will go with the British "SU" carb as one of the simplest and best carbs to ever be designed. The problem is most never really understood how simple and easy it was to tune. Very few moving parts and simple to work on and tune.

It’s interesting how better your memory was in your original post, you gave the name of the city, the car model and engine type this carburetor was used on and even the precise gas mileage both in city and highway driving .
You also unequivocally stated that it was the car manufacturers that shut him down and that he filed a patent application
Now, just a few hours later, your memory is not that good anymore when pressed for more details and confronted with critical thinking and common sense
The only remaining question, because obviously it is a baseless conspiracy theory, is did you heard/read that crap and simply believe conspiracy theories or do you created it yourself ?
Maybe I’m a little harsh with you but people spreading baseless conspiracy theories are seriously hurting this country

but people spreading baseless conspiracy theories are seriously hurting this country

Given modern education can't countenance facts as simple as biology, and nobody can do 5th grade math or write cursive, did you actually think people can differentiate between baseless and plausible conspiracy theories?

I just know Mulder would never lie to me. Scully though seems iffy.

For objective truth I consult with the chef of Swig and Swine. Anybody who lives for whole hog, has got their feet planted solid on reality.

I seriously need some new conspiracy theories because all my old ones have come true.

I stole that from someone but it is true.

really Ron?

Of all the issues that are out there, an old wives tale that has been passed down for the last ~50 years (that we have all heard) is the hill you wanna die on?!?

Well, obviously some people still believe and spread those tales….
And if they believe something so obviously absurd, what else can they also believe ?

Hey Cybertruck, do some cool donuts like they do on YouTube!

Isn't it time to ditch the penny???
Oh shoot, they're only 2.5% copper these days...

Ok class, what metallic material is used to transfer electricity from point A to point B to charge EV’s

I'll take "none" for $1,000 Alex.

I grew up on the space coast and lived in the area for 30 years in which I started my career as a mechanic in Cocoa Beach and then moved to Cocoa, FL. So yea the details of where and what stick in my mind much better than the reasons his work just vanished from the area.

Just because I cannot provide any proof 40 years later does not mean it did not happen and what conspiracy theory am I trying to spread?
