  • @rlmeiller
    @rlmeiller ปีที่แล้ว

    Two of the biggest barriers to more widespread adoption of EVs are battery capacity and charging station availability. In the short term, the latter can help address the former, and I think it's fantastic that this fast-charging hub is located just a couple of blocks off the Square. Not only do they serve an area with increasing population density, but also growing visitor appeal, and they nicely complement Madison's focus on alternative transportation modes. In the future, I would like to see mini cafe-style "waiting rooms" so that people who are charging their cars can spend that 20 minutes enjoying a coffee or other beverage if they don't have other browsing or errands to run nearby.

    Back in the 80's Ford built an automobile called the Granada, a nice car for the money. They decided to build two alternative fuel vehicles based on this model, one on CNG and one on LPG for the auto expo in California. They drove the one on LPG to the show from Detroit and put the CNG one on a rail car and sent it by train. they did this because like today there was little to no infrastructure for CNG refueling. I worked for an LPG company at the time, all of our vehicles ran on LPG, vehicles used by management were dual fuel. The city west of us uses a lot of CNG vehicles, they have their own fueling depot which they do allow the public to use, but city vehicles take precedent. CNG is not really practical for the average person unless there is a refueling facility nearby. Even if there is natural gas at your home the installation of a high pressure compressor is very costly. LPG is more readily available than CNG even though it may cost more, I generally found it to be considerably cheaper than gasoline at that time, we sold motor fuel at about 30 % less than gasoline prices at local stations.

      I am no expert on CNG, but I do have quite a bit of knowledge about engines. I would say that in some ways running on CNG would be better for longevity than running on gasoline because natural gas burns a lot cleaner than gasoline, so there won't be the issues with carbon buildup that gasoline engines have. The oil would stay a lot cleaner for this reason too. Also, since CNG is a gas rather than a liquid, it won't wash the engine oil off the cylinder walls like gasoline can, and it also can not dilute the oil like gasoline can. Eliminating carbon deposits, cylinder wash, and oil dilution as well as keeping the oil cleaner are certainly benefits for longevity. As for potential longevity disadvantages, I can't think of any but I would suggest doing your own research. People say that the gasoline lubricates the engine's parts such as valves and rings, but it actually has the complete opposite effect by washing the oil off of the engine's parts.

    questions, my house is about 1200 SF. what is your advice for me to save $ on power bills between using central heater or using 2 space heaters to heat the house?

    • @mgemadison
      @mgemadison 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the question. It's a good one. You will not save money using an electric space heater unless you turn your central heating system down several degrees and use a space heater to warm just a small area. For any electrical device, the cost per hour of use depends on the wattage of the equipment. A typical electric space heater: - Uses 1,500 watts. - Produces 5,120 BTUs of heat per hour. - Costs 20¢ (at $0.130 per kilowatt-hour electric rate) to produce those 5,120 BTUs of heat. A 90% efficient natural gas furnace will cost less than 5¢ to produce that same amount of heat (at $0.80 per therm natural gas rate). Whether you pay $30 or $300 for a space heater, if it uses 1,500 watts, you will get the same amount of heat and pay the same cost per hour of use. Good luck!

      One of the best ways to save on heating is taking care of drafty doors & windows. I use blinds + curtains and my place holds heat very well. Even in the winter the heater barely even needs to run to satisfy the thermostat. It may run for a short amount of time at the coldest point of the morning, but it basically holds that heat all day.

The only burden right now is the sound. After I strict serveral dampers, the blower sound increased a little bit. But I think, blower do need work harder to send air to our second floor.

    Not a great car to reflect as an Electric Vehicle. It is just a plug-in hybrid car which is only more complicated since it has an electric motor and a gasoline motor. It has all the benefits of both which can be a good transition; with a few disadvantages. I noticed that the family had another car, which makes it surprising that they did not go all EV as a second car.

    They talk alot about CNG not being as flammable as gasoline or diesel. That is true, but gasoline and diesel is not under high pressure and CNG is. A new high pressure thank is probably safe, but what happens when the parts age? Lets say you drive in the rust belt are when the tank and other fuel system components are exposed to elements and hostile environment. How safe are these old tanks then? An old gasoline tank might start leaking, but when a CNG tank fails, it can do so with a big bang, costing you your life. They need to come up with a way to store gas in a non-pressurized form before these gas cars can be deemed safe.

You can have 2 space heaters with a 1500 watt rating and have 1 use twice as much energy to do the same job if it is half as effective at heating. If your goal is to have 70 degree temperature consistently one heater which works twice as good will run half as long at the same 1500 watts meaning it will cost half the amount to operate. Please delete this worthless misleading video. There are a billion videos about safety and that is all this one is. If people had common sense they wouldn't need safety labels everywhere in life.

      I believe his point is, if one heater can heat a larger volume of air using the same 1500W as another heater, it IS actually more efficient. It doesn't have to run as long to heat the same space which will use less electricity.
