The Drive | Company Builds Powerful 500cc ‘One-Stroke’ Engine, Immediately Installs It in a Miata
Brilliant.I love weird engines—give me a rotary, a turbine, or, hell, even a flat-eight and I'll be happy. That's why I was so excited when I heard that INNengine of Granada, Spain had produced a opposed-piston engine that packed a pretty powerful punch in an extremely tiny package.
There's no cylinder head in this motor. Also no crankshaft, no camshaft, and no valves. That's why it's no surprise that this engine tips the scales at just 85 pounds. Somehow, it still produces 120 horsepower with just half a liter of displacement, thanks to what the company calls a single-stroke combustion cycle. Perfect to throw into a Miata

Nope. All NG is being discouraged on favor of electric in the US, even gas stoves, as part of the 15 min cities project.Miss_Faucie_Fishtits wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2023 3:20 am The Future For CNG - Compressed Natural Gas circa 1980 ............
They want a power source that they can turn off easily.

I actually dealt with a company that ran buses with gasoline/NG fuel. They had a government contract. When it expired so did they.Miss_Faucie_Fishtits wrote: ↑Tue Aug 08, 2023 3:20 am The Future For CNG - Compressed Natural Gas circa 1980 ............

The simplest explanation is that the pilot defected, and the military want that narrative in play.Miss_Faucie_Fishtits wrote: ↑Tue Sep 19, 2023 2:27 am Well, can't you just push the alarm button on your key fob like when you lose your car at a Walmart?....'>......

I remember a lot of press about Russian and DPRK pilots flying to the west back in the cold war days.

True , detecting on radar no same as having a missile radar lock to shoot it down .. but it already half way there .. once radar detects, it much easier for an interceptor to shoot it down.
My guess is, next we will see an Israeli F-35 be shot down with a missile .. that will settle the question.

Yes, you will see it at the right time
If Russians, Chinese , Iranians have the missile that can have a lock on F-35 , they would keep it close to their chest to make US, West, nations who waist their money buying F-35, South Korea, Israel and others feel secure and enter adventures .. and .. at the right time , BANG , shoot a few F-35 down ..
AT THE RIGHT TIME , is the key .. it has to have the BANG effect

EV Owners Waking Up to the Nightmare of Massive Repair Bills
https://pjmedia.com/rick-moran/2023/12/ ... p=28831817"Sticker shock" has taken on a whole new meaning when new electric vehicle owners get their first repair bill following a simple fender bender. The Wall Street Journal reports that a San Francisco resident got in a minor accident with his electric truck. He thought that repairs would be "a couple-thousand-dollar bill from the repair shop and to be without his truck for a couple of weeks."
Instead, the first-time EV owner was shocked to get a $22,000 bill for repairs that took 2 1/2 months.

Reading articles such as the above makes me consider buying a VW bug and modifying - updating it.

Houthis are the first to use "Ballistic" missiles against moving ship .. AND HIT
All Iranian missiles
Need a very sophisticated guidance system
A ballistic missile, by definition, goes straight up, very high, and , comes (pretty much) straight down .. hitting a moving ship with that, the missiles must "correct" on the go .. there no defence
