    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    Aw man, Lemmy finally got a LinkedInLunatics instance? How long has this been here? That was like the last thread I’ve been hanging onto with reddit. Finally, this place feels like a genuine alternative 🎉

    This guy apparently doesn’t understand the first and second laws of thermodynamics. However, in his defense, this is sorta how regenerative braking works, but with less complexity.

    Why not cut out the middle man and directly charge battery 2 with battery 1? Switch and repeat.

      I was about to say, could this post possibly have any more emojis? Although, from my knowledge of existing MLM hunbots I unfortunately already know the answer lol

      Yeesh… the entire thing is so much secondhand embarrassment it makes me want to delete my entire profile just for the sake of it regardless of never using the actual site

      It’s a good idea, even if it can be ruled out. That person should offer more ideas. All of those Newtonian physics people never seem to offer up ideas.

        They can understand some basic concepts before you get into the math. Especially potential energy turning into heat, which children experience firsthand frequently. IMHO kids these days seem to understand energy more easily than we did; I think it’s because of video games.

      Either that, or he’s not very smart, had a thought, poppet it into ChatGPT, and ChatGPT as it tends to do, affirmed his dumb idea, and he ended up asking it to make a Linkedin post for him on the idea.

      I’ve seen similar stuff from students who think they’ve cracked how something works, only to be incredibly wrong, because they only know half of what they need to, but don’t know enough to understand how little they know. It’s part of the journey of getting sorta-good at something though.

    There was this browser game (on the BBC website IIRC) with a Wallace and Gromit theme, in which you build stuff.
    It had a level in which you make a vehicle-ish contraption and see how far it goes [1]. I managed to setup a motor and generator in such a way that it effectively increased the vehicle’s range by quite a bit.
    I don’t remember well enough now, but I think the generator didn’t give as much resistance as the energy it was creating.


    1. or more like whatever contraption you can make to get the dummy to go as far as possible. Could even be a cannon, launching the dummy. ↩︎

    Does he have a fundme or patreon page? I think it’s worth supporting his research if it can be applied to cars and trains one day.

    If somebody is an airplane engineer, is it possible to do something like that with planes? It would be great if planes could become environmentally friendly with such technologies.

      There was actually a prototype environmentally friendly airplane designed and tested back in 2000 during a genocide in Yorkshire that I feel like isn’t talked about enough. The plane, using bicycle technology, was successful in transporting all of the local populace to safe territory with the help of a veteran Royal Air Force member and an American entertainer posing as a flight specialist. Really an incredible story and there’s still footage of the flight. but I don’t know the status of the airplane today.

      Is this serious or a joke? Regenerative braking and other energy recovery methods have been standard on electrified vehicles for decades. Electric planes do exist, but the problem is that the mass to thrust ratio for electric motors is worse than jet engines. Most successful ones are pretty small and light.

        I think you don’t fully grasp the genious, magnitude and potential of Aryan Bhambure’s invention. A continuous self-charging loop would essentially eliminate the time wasted on charging batteries. There would be no limit on the range of a car.

        That’s even more interesting for planes, given that a transfer is possible. As others have mentioned, the technology is heavy, which could make it unsuitable for planes. But if those limitations can be overcome, direct flights between all places of earth become possible. I think that’s an advancement to humanity that’s worth our support.

    Either he’s lying about being a mechanical engineer or the barrier to entry to become a mechanical engineer is embarrassingly low.

    It this guy seriously proposing a perpetual motion machine for the purposes of EV charging? Also not that it really matters but who the hell has range anxiety on an electric bicycle. You get 30 miles out of those things easily, what sort of bike rides is he doing where you have to recharge that more than once a month?

    He should try recharging a solar panel with a light powered by the solar panel. Just achieving infinite power.

      He’s probably lying. While the bar is pretty low for entry level M.E.s, it’s not quite that low yet.

      As an old Toolmaker, I have made my share of intern wannabe MEs cry after crushing their idiot ideas. I swear, the older engineers would send those clowns to me just so I would beat them about the head and neck with a stick.

      (I have a Daughter that has a PhD in ME. I warned her to turn down the free lobotomy offer upon finishing her degree. She listened and is now a happy and very, very smart Dr. of Engineering working with EV and HVAC systems)

      I’ve gone as far as 55 miles in one bike ride, and hope to do a full century ride someday. 30 miles is not at all out of the ordinary for bicyclists.

      My distance to work is 12 km one way, so your battery would be empty afer two days…

      30 miles is laughably low. A single ride would drain it for me. To go to store it would take 10 miles, not counting anything else.

        A 10 mile round trip would probably take about 3 hours, it probably isn’t as far as you think it is.

          I work 18 kilometres away from where I live, that takes me 45 minutes on my acoustic bike. That’s just a little longer than 10 miles. The round trip is ~an hour and a half

          3 hours? How slow do you bike? I average 25 to 30mph on a non powered mountain bike. I could walk that in 3 hours.
