A place to post ridiculous posts from linkedIn.com
(Full transparency.. a mod for this sub happens to work there.. but that doesn't influence his moderation or laughter at a lot of posts.)
Yes, many electric bicycles power themselves while going down hills or costing. As for the other idea that you could recharge them just by pedaling ... That exists already. Almost nobody wants it because it's easier to plug your bicycle in. The point of the electric bicycle is to do less work, not to do more. Otherwise you would get a regular bicycle because it weighs less.
A mechanical engineering student that doesn't know the law of energy conservation?
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 🎉
The community (which isn't an instance!) has been there for a couple of years already: https://sh.itjust.works/post/27701
If you haven't come across it before there is the Lemmy Explorer tool (with options for Piefed and Mbin as well): https://lemmyverse.net/communities
Welcome to the fediverse's LinkedInLunatics, my friend!
Techbros rediscovering old principles, a tale as old as....well, since the tech industry.
If free energy was ever to be discovered it just wouldn't come from some LinkedIn dipshit posting with AI, sorry.
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.
Regenerative braking was my first thought.
Why not cut out the middle man and directly charge battery 2 with battery 1? Switch and repeat.
wow, you did not have to call out my subnautica in-cyclops power cell recharging stations for spare cyclops batteries like that
Wow, excessive emojis and em-dashes... Not ai at all
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
My LinkedIn feed is like 90+% AI at this point. I don't know why anyone bothers looking at the "content" on that website anymore. I only see it just incidentally on my way to the job listings and I am always shocked at how terrible it is
I have never seen the Arabic language translation of this meme but I immediately understood it from having seen the English version.
I had this exact idea... when I was 7. That was before I was introduced to newtonian physics.
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.
This has to be a parody account right?
A parody account... on LinkedIn?
I'm becoming increasingly more and more confused as to what this site's purpose is intended for... I think they lied to me in college lol
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.
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.
Thank you for the levity.
Hello, I am the owner of a large investment fund and I am willing to offer 1 billion dollars to develop this young man’s technology
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 ^[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.]. 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.
With this many emojis and em dashes, he's probably engagement farming using llm content, regardless of the thermodynamics gaps in logic
mechanical engineering student
Did not pay much attention in high school
Look out for v2.0 which also features a sail on the front which you blow to go faster.
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.
When the battery runs out, you pull over and "pedal" to recharge the battery, then you're good to go again!
This guy is only telling us part of the truth. You actually need three batteries. The third battery is hooked up to a solar and wind generator. Only then can you achieve true energy independence.
Mechanical engineering student huh? Good to know he didn't attend class on day 1 of dynamics
Perpetual motion machine aside, where tf is bro going that the range of an ebike isn't enough, but the speed is
