  • Laughs in good public transit(rail based is based, but buses are good too), where it can achieve 10~100x the capacity in the same footprint

    With rail, as long as you have a good timetable and a robust signaling system, 27tpdph with multiple service patterns is achievable, and >33tpdph if you run just one service pattern, all while having a top speed of 120km/h and an average speed of >50km/h

    Railway in general (excluding Line-of-sight based light rail and trams) can move stupendous amounts of people at full speed really quickly due to signaling and mass transit inherently being more efficient in general









  • Actually, if you are using 7zip on windows 11, consider giving nanazip a try. It is 7zip but it adds the shortcuts to the new(and debatably worse) right click context menu on windows 11.

    And don’t quote me on this but I remember having seen somewhere that the devs of 7zip says they won’t update 7zip to use the new context menu.

    You can use liquified hydrogen which need to be chilled and insulated, and will evaporate away in a short time if not properly sealed

    Or you use compressed hydrogen which means you are basically carrying an IED that weighs several hundred kilograms with the amount of pressure inside the gas tank

    And hydrogen combustion is as others have said, inefficient.

    Another issue is that you also need to use basically pure oxygen if you want to use a hydrogen fuel cell, otherwise the catalyst inside the cell would get poisoned

    And well, there is a car that did all that, the Toyota Mirai, but that also pretty much ended in commercial failure, due to lack of hydrogen filling infrastructure and a whole load of other reasons.





  • It is both, but the pressure one contributes more to lift. You can see this when a wing stalls, the airflow separates from the upper surface and the pressure difference is gone. The angle of a stalled wing still means air is directed downwards, but the overall lift is much smaller.

    At least that is what I’ve been told anyways
