Hybrid cars

Is that the lie that Fox is passing around?

The first stem cells were grown at the University of Wisconsin in 1998 with
work going on before that. Typically this type work is funded by research
organizations in the Federal Government. That means stem cell work was
almost certainly being funded by the Clinton administration.

There was previous research on stem cells trying to understand them almost
certainly funded by the Clinton administration and probably other
administrations.

Only the Bush administration tried to shut down the research with the belief
that life begins at conception. I do not believe that life beginning at
conception is in the Bible and Bush is just believing some made up
religious theory.

It is essentially the as the Muslim bombers believing they will have 72
virgins in heaven just because some body said it. So we have a gullible
world leader that can be led around by the nose by anybody that claimed
something is religious no matter what is said.

 

With a big-honkin fan blowing hot air out of the dyno room. No big deal.

Pratt&Whitney had dyno cells that could take the 4000 plus horsepower of
an air-cooled R-4360 back in the 40s and 50s. Roof mounted fans provided
cooling air that would have been provided by natural air flow if the
engine had been on an airplane wing instead of in the dyno cell.

 

Even liquid-cooled engines would need a fan to blow air at the radiator.
The dyno room was a very loud environment whenever a vehicle was running.
The rollers were coated with a non-skid surface so the tires running on
those rollers were very loud, we had a fan directed at the radiator, we had
the dyno motors and cooling fans for the motors, we had an exhaust duct fan
running, and of course, there was the noise from the subject vehicle.

 

Most dyno cells are plumbed to bring coolant in from and take it away to
a remote radiator.

Oh, you're talking chassis dyno. Different animal. Not nearly as loud
(engines on cell dynos don't necessarily have mufflers. Although I did
hear a '68 Charger with a 525 Mopar Performance 440-based crate motor do
a run on a chassis dyno which drew a standing ovation from everyone in
the shop They'd been listening to a turbo Supra for about an hour
before that and were sick of vacuum cleaner noises.

 

I don't speak for the author, and you don't either. I can think of any
number of reasons I might make such a change to my own manuscript, none
of them having to do with hiding any religious inclination.

Neither is evolution. It's nothing more than empirical observation extended
beyond its reach into a theory, a conclusion used to find evidence that
supports it. You want science? Disprove intelligent design.

Last word is yours.

 

Judge Jones was persuaded by the evidence - and the timing of the change
- that ID is just creationism hidden in lab coats.

Science doesn't work that way. When Intelligent Design has some evidence
available, it will be considered.

Read Judge Jones's entire opinion in Kitzmiller. Everyone who has been
taken in by 'intelligent design' should hang their heads in shame at how
bad of a con it was that took them in.

 

I have seen dynos with fans. The VW of course has its own fan, but the
output of the fan at the dyno station could supplement it. I don't
remember for sure which way the fan blew on the bug- if it picked up air
from the hood, that was probably in a low pressure area, and yet still
cooled the car okay, so maybe the engine's own fan would be sufficient.

 

Or, one could use an engine dyno, and again supply whatever cooling
needed. Dyno operators had to be creative and used to doing work to set
up for each new engine type they had to face.

I suppose there was never such a thing as a quiet dyno room.

 

Oh, SURE there is. It gets REAL quiet right after something Really Bad
happens....

 

We had a chassis dyno...

There is nothing like the roar of a big block engine to get the juices
flowing!

 

That's because everyone is in the bathroom changing their underwear!

 

No, the evidence that has been collected fully supports evolution. The only
humans that don't believe in evolution are crackpots such as yourself, who
aren't very evolved anyway.

Disprove that a giant purple bunny rabbit didn't poop the universe. You
can't. You see, you can't prove a negative. Anyway, the burden of proof is
upon the person making the claim. You're claiming ID is true, then prove
it.

 

Nobody "believes" that except for the strawmen you create so you can so
bravely knock them down. You're my hero.

 

So IDiots believe there is possibly another entity as powerful (or
more) than the God worshipped by Christians and many others? Sounds
like false idolism to me...

Yeah, one of the reasons is all of the flack the author took for using
the word "creationism". A rose by any other name...

You're equating the superior being(s) that "created" everything with
CHEESE? Sweet...

There are many claims out there that science does not have to
disprove. Crop circles caused by aliens, the Virgin Mary in a waffle,
Pat Robertson claiming that Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's massive
stroke was divine punishment for the Gaza withdrawal- just a bunch of
folks looking for supernatural explanations for occurences that can
easily be explained using observable, repeatable, and measurable
methods.

 

The amazing part is that the ID people said in public that they did not have
to prove ID but that the scientist had to disprove ID.

And yet we still have about 80% of the public think the scientist are wrong
and the religious fanatics are correct.

 

Then I would suggest you look at the EPA figures for the 2006 Civic
5 speed Manual: 30 city / 38 Highway
5 speed Automatic: 30 City / 40 Highway

 

And we all know how accurate those EPA figures are...

Doesn't matter. The truth is that modern automatics are *generally* more
efficient and result in lower emissions than the average driver with a
stick. The computer can keep everything (mixture, timing, and even
throttle opening) optimized right through the shift because it controls
both the engine and transmission. With a stick, its still slaved to how
well (or poorly) the driver executes every shift.

 

Untrue. The Civic, if the slushbox gets better mileage than the stick, is
the exception rather than the rule. The viscous torque converter causes a
loss of efficiency.

And with the auto, a skilled driver won't get any better mileage than an
unskilled driver.

 

I believe most, if not all, modern automatics have a locking torque
converter, eliminating slippage during cruising. Duiring acceleration,
torque multiplication provides an advantage over a solid connection. Also,
the gear ratios for automatic and manual transmissions are not the same, so
depending on the setup, one may have a performance or economy advantage over
the other.

No matter what type of transmission, a skilled driver can absolutely get
better mileage than an unskilled driver!
