Constant learning...... keeps us young......

Once saw a big guy walking in a shopping mall..... Tshirt said "I'm only here, because my Flux Capacitor is busted".

Now, if I could just find my Tardis..... I'd pop onto a few wooden warships !

Thermal co-efficients..... fun....... esp. when they tried aluminum house wiring here years ago.....

I thought it was interesting and humorous!

So more slight thread drift must be in order.

I worked for a company for several years that did nuclear research and made some reactor products that were consumables. But had long lasting effects to personnel exposed to the products in production. We had some similiar results in the reproductive area that you discussed previously. Except the swimmers in this case were sterile. So no boys or girls from this workgroup.
The product was radioactive and used in the generation of electricity.

So That's Why ! ..... they want us Going All Electric !

I watched this one on lunch-breaks this week.... it's for all you vintage Gen fans......

Once Upon a Tyme..... Honda built a Promo Generator...... then went on to build "a few" more gens....

Still have my old Honda EX650 from the 1980's.

One pull and it runs like a top. Great for camping since it can barely be heard 50' away.

Magic machine, and obviously well taken-care of .

I had one for years that I gave to a friend when I got the EU2000i. The astounding thing is that the 650 was heavier.

Yes, I've got a EU2000i as well. It is indeed heavier but much quieter.

The 650 is so compact, my brother may take it to use as a backup to charge his EV if he ever gets stuck on the road. In an emergency, he figures a tankful of gas in the generator and a couple of hours charging time could get him to the next charging station.

Interesting concept but it remains to be seen just how far it would get him.

It would be a long wait to be able to travel much. My wifes Equinox does between 3.6-2.4 miles per kwh. The lowest charge rate is 8 amps of 120 volt which would equal 0.960 kwh after an hour.
If I'm reading correctly the little Honda 650 genset only puts out 4.6 amps or 0.552 kwh per hour of run time. I would be surprised if the charging circuit wouldn't over load the 650 and kill it.
