  This sounds a lot like a "perpetual motion" system to me ...

  Except that both gasoline (along with illuminating gas) and electric powered automobiles were invented almost simultaneously in the 1880's, at least those with practical applications.  It's true that up through approximately 1900 electrics outnumbered gasoline engined autos, but both were eclipsed by the total number of steam powered vehicles then in existence.  Production of electric autos peaked in 1910, but had already been passed by the number of gas-powered autos being produced.  It's true that prior to about 1915 or so that electric vehicles were cheaper to operate than gas, but their initial cost was double that of a similar gasoline car, with far more limited range and speed.  Availability of electricity was better in cities than gasoline, but in many rural areas electricity wasn't available for recharging.  Illuminating gas, and gasoline, while relatively expensive could be had most anywhere in the US by the latter years of the 19th century, long before rural electrification was in it's infancy.  The invention of the electric starter in 1912 also helped doom the early electrics, as it removed one of the true disadvantages of gasoline engines versus electrics.  Limited range, expense of production, along with the weight of the batteries were all reasons why Thomas Edison eventually abandoned his efforts to build electrics, once declaring that Henry Ford "had it right" with his mass-produced gasoline powered cars (Clara Ford's personal car during the early years of the 20th century was a Detroit Electric!).  These same problems still exist, although recent technological breakthroughs like graphene do hold some promise towards eventually making electrics more practical.  The analogy of building a charging infrastructure to handle increased usage of modern electrics doesn't quite hold with that of building the gasoline distribution network that arose during the early 20th century, as there was no nationwide infrastructure which was already in place for any type of fueling for automobiles; today any new distribution network which could handle quick charging of high capacity batteries would come into direct competition with the petroleum industry.  There have been many previous attempts to replace the gasoline powered internal combustion engined automobile, none have had much success.  While there are probably many reasons for this, one of them is certainly that no competitive technology has been able to provide the convenience, power, reliability and relatively low cost of the 130 year old gasoline auto engine.

  I've read a little about using graphene to make quick-charge higher capacity batteries, but I can foresee a real problem with the scenario of utilizing them in higher power applications like car batteries.  To get the charge times down in high amperage batteries, the charging system will have to output either much higher amperage, much higher voltage, or both to provide the requisite energy for charging.  Electric and hybrid vehicles already face the problem of limited charging facilities, newer types of batteries requiring different charging systems will have even more limited availability.

I couldn't tell from your previous posts, but if you are trying to get the washer to run the cycles without any water in the tub, be aware that many washers have a water level switch as well which will not allow the cycle to continue without water being at a certain level in the tub.  The load noise and vibration is probably due to an imbalance, which can be caused by several things.

Both AIM and Classic regularly have "B" grade 91/30's for $99, occasionally as low as $89.  Get on the notification lists for stocking info.

Trees will always fall in whatever direction will cause the most damage and inconvenience for you ...

I agree with the others, it looks more like a tool mark than a crack, but yes, it won't hurt to give them a call if it's really cracked.

This is the tinfoil hat for the truly elite

  It certainly has some trade value, and cash value as well ...

I don't know what the ammo you're referencing sells for, but lately, I'm seeing 38 special range brass priced from 8-10 cents per round.

  I should have heeded your warning.  I spent half the afternoon reading those posts, finally had to quit because I was hurting from laughing so much ...

  It's going to be a long wait ...

  This thread could get interesting ... :popcorn:

  You're supposed to get rich?  I've been doing it wrong then ...

A basic cleaning and oiling doesn't hurt the value of guns, so long as it's limited to cleaning and not refurbishment.  The dents, nicks and other marks are part of the historicity and character of the gun, and should be left alone to preserve any collectable value ...

  It's "Rhodes" scholars, btw ...

  No, but I wish I did ...

I've never considered your pricing structure as a measure of your morality or (lack of) ethics.  If I don't like your price, I don't buy.  On the rare occasions that I have anything for sale, I proceed the same way.  If it doesn't sell, I have the choice of keeping the item, or cutting the price.

  Looks like the ducks were lined up properly ...

Most of the better companies have interior packages that essentially let you design your own layout.  Many of the online sites for these manufacturers show pictures of the various ways that shelves can be arranged, and a visit to a safe store should generate even more options for you.

Well, the name should be available soon, and maybe whatever remaining inventory that the Feds didn't confiscate ...
