Electric flight is coming
Electric planes will fly circles around gasoline planes in
the near future. "In the drive to devise more efficient and durable batteries, one promising option uses carbon nanotubes, which not only can store far more electricity by weight than lithium ion batteries but also retain their charge for a much longer time." https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...charging-ahead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8Pb_psj1A8 --- Mark |

Also, I included this video for conceptualization purposes only. The battery pack weighs 200lbs. In 10 years this will make a good comedy film. It's like looking at a steam engine in a volkswagon. (however it does fly) The new generation of technology will shrink that battery pack down to 5lbs, and the size of a cigar box. Once that occurs, you will see power beyond your imagination that will outrun a Cessna Corvalis TT. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8Pb_psj1A8 --- Mark |

Battery weight is simply a matter of chemistry -- and that imposes severe limits on its ability to carry charge. |

As soon as you improve your popcorn. Battery weight is simply a matter of chemistry -- and that imposes severe limits on its ability to carry charge. No sir that isn't correct. Battery weight is the mass of the container and it's contents. The chemistry is optional. The charge is electrical. It may exist in highly efficient molecular structures superior to the lead and acid water of the 1800's. --- Mark |

The word "two" sounds just like it. It represents the numerical value between one and three. I think the word you were grasping for is "too". It can mean, "as well", "more than is desired", or "extremely". It sounds just like the former two words. Hope this helps. Best of luck to you and your partner, Butt-head. --- Mark |
