Tesla’s electric power for the truck and the use of electricity in heavy-duty transporting



(Picture 1)

Tesla has made history, and build brand new concept for heavy-duty vehicles. In that vehicle is electric motors for driving the truck forward. Making of the electric truck is nothing that is made with passenger cars. The needed parts are of course bigger, but technology what is used is tested in many smaller vehicles. And the major problem of electricity usage in heavy transport systems is that the battery’s power would go down, and in the short term driving, there would be no time to recharge those batteries.


The electric system is very useful in heavy-duty vehicles because it can give also the trailer capacity to operate as the part of the pulling system. In normal vehicles, the wheels of the trailer are not connected to the motor system, and that makes this kind of heavy-duty vehicles to operate on bad roads. If the trailer’s wheels are used in driving sequences, and they are equipped with motors, that would make the trailer more capacities than before.


There are two ways to make the truck with electric motors. One is to use the pure electric system, but that would need recharge stations. But in this case, the normal power voltage cable could give the needed electricity for that system. Another is to use the diesel-electric system, where the diesel motor would use generators, and the electric power would be transfer to the electric motors, what is installed in every wheel under this vehicle. This would give the car or truck extreme high speed, and the limit of the speed is the endurance of electric motors. That kind of truck can, in theory, leave even sport scars behind them.

The electric driving system can be used selectively. When the batteries are low, the computer would activate the diesel-system. And in the short drive, there could be used only electricity. This means that the tank of the vehicle must not fill at all if there would be found recharge points on the road. In this system is able to use solar panels for increasing the capacity of the battery. Those diesel motors are meant to use only in the forests, where will not found the recharge points. But this kind of vehicles can use also normal power plugs to reload their batteries. So if this project would be the success, the heavy transportation would be more economical and kindly for the environment than ever before.

The LK-99 could be a fundamental advance even if it cannot reach superconductivity in 400K.

The next step in superconducting research is that LK-99 was not superconducting at room temperature. Or was it? The thing is that there is needed more research about that material. And even if it couldn't reach superconductivity in 400K that doesn't mean that material is not fundamental. And if LK-99 can maintain its superconductivity in 400K that means a fundamental breakthrough in superconducting technology.  The LK-99 can be hype or it can be the real thing. The thing is, anyway, that high-voltage cables and our electric networks are not turning superconducting before next summer. But if we can change the electric network to superconducting by using some reasonable material. That thing can be the next step in the environment. Superconductors decrease the need to produce electricity. But today cooling systems that need lots of energy are the thing that turn superconductors that need low temperatures non-practical for everyday use.  When the project begins there is lots of ent

Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.

 Black holes, the speed of light, and gravitational background are things that are connecting the universe.  Black holes and gravitational waves: is black hole's singularity at so high energy level that energy travels in one direction in the form of a gravitational wave.  We normally say that black holes do not send radiation. And we are wrong. Black holes send gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are wave movement or radiation. And that means the black holes are bright gravitational objects.  If we can use water to illustrate the gravitational interaction we can say that gravitational waves push the surface tension out from the gravitational center. Then the other quantum fields push particles or objects into a black hole. The gravitational waves push energy out from the objects. And then the energy or quantum fields behind that object push them into the gravitational center.  The elementary particles are quantum fields or whisk-looking structures. If the gravitational wave is

The CEO of Open AI, Sam Altman said that AI development requires a similar organization as IAEA.

We know that there are many risks in AI development. And there must be something that puts people realize that these kinds of things are not jokes. The problem is how to take control of the AI development. If we think about international contracts regarding AI development. We must realize that there is a possibility that the contract that should limit AI development turns into another version of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That treaty didn't ever deny the escalation of nuclear weapons. And there is a big possibility that the AI-limitation contracts follow the route of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  The biggest problem with AI development is the new platforms that can run every complicated and effective code. That means the quantum computer-based neural networks can turn themselves more intelligent than humans. The AI has the ultimate ability to learn new things. And if it runs on the quantum-hybrid system that switches its state between binary and quantum states,
