FORGET LITHIUM, FORGET TURBOS. This is the Longbow. - DANIEL DAVEY #IGDLCC 317

from George Buhnici | #IGDLCC · host George BUHNICI

The automotive industry has reached a critical point where cars are becoming increasingly heavy and expensive, packed with features that the average user doesn't actually need in daily life. The future doesn't lie in massive batteries, but in streamlining total mass through "featherweight" concepts that allow for supercar performance under a one-ton threshold. A bold approach means building a chassis that functions as a structural shell for the batteries, eliminating unnecessary adhesives and dead weight. Even if the majority of mobility becomes autonomous to give us back the time lost in traffic, there will always be a segment of enthusiasts seeking the pure experience of driving. "Off-the-shelf" technology is already mature enough to allow for the democratization of performance without the need to reinvent the electric motor or the inverter. The problem with electric vehicle adoption isn't range or charging speed, but the public's distorted perception of the actual long-term operating costs. Ultimately, true automotive innovation means offering people lighter, simpler, and more accessible cars, focusing on raw efficiency and the sheer pleasure of driving. IGDLCC înseamnă Informații Gratis despre Lucruri care Costă! Totul ne costă dar mai ales timpul așa că am făcut această serie pentru a mă informa și educa alături de invitați din domeniile mele de interes. Te invit alături de mine în această călătorie. Mi-am propus să mă facă mai informat și mai adaptat la schimbările care vin. Sper să o facă și pentru tine.

I’ve had an absolutely fascinating conversation with Daniel Davey about the Longbow, an ultra-lightweight electric supercar that’s fundamentally disrupting the industry. This isn't just another EV; it features revolutionary in-wheel motors in every single wheel, achieving a mind-blowing one-to-one power-to-weight ratio. By integrating future-proof solid-state battery technology, they’ve managed to strip away the dead weight of traditional EVs. It’s incredible how this technology allows us to literally 'program' the car’s behavior, giving us the chance to be true pilots again—not just spectators—in a future otherwise dominated by heavy 'gadgets' on four wheels.

Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) listen to sounds kebing comedy:Troilus and Cressida By: William Shakespeare (1564-1616) The Two Gentlemen of Verona By: William Shakespeare (1564-1616)The Way of the World By: William Congreve (1670 -1729)Why Marry?
