Last year I had the opportunity to Talk to the person behind Wild hydrofoil racing series, E1. At the time, Racebird was a rendering rather than a real craft, but now electric motorboats are out on the water for initial testing and are working even better than the designers could have imagined. The E1 series is a battery electric racing series with a twist. When Formula E goes out on the road and Extreme E goes off-road, E1 hits the water. The purpose of the E1, which has long been considered bad to mix with batteries, is to prove that electric racing in rivers and seas is as competitive as racing in dry lands. Crafted by all competitors in the series, the Racebird is a wild-looking hydrofoil with a Kreisel 35kWh battery and a motor that outputs up to 150kW. Made by marine expert Mercury. On the Po River in northern Italy, it appears to be quite manoeuvrable due to the highly capable hands of former powerboat race world champion Luca Ferrari. “So far, RaceBird has surpassed expect

Ford closed the order for the 2022 F-150 Lightning Pickup a few days before the planned launch of the EV. The move will take place after retail orders for the cheapest F-150 Lightning configuration have ceased, and just a few weeks after orders for the popular Mustang Mach-E electric vehicle have sold out and ended on April 8. Although Ford’s website still allows consumers to build and price 2022F-150 Lightning “The high demand has made the current model year unavailable for retail orders,” he added, adding that shoppers need to contact a local dealer for more information. The official release date of the truck is set to April 26th. According to a sales representative for Galpin Ford, one of the country’s largest Ford dealers, purchase orders for all versions of the 2022 F-150 Lightning are actually closed. You can still buy it, but it must be a truck with a higher price in stock. Another way is to wait for a 2023 or 2024 model vehicle. At Garpin, that means you have to choose from

Toyota has not set an official lap time for the Nürburgring. GR Yaris But if so, we suspect that some of the fastest hot hatches to orbit the famous German circuit are right there. When in the right hand, it can even run some much more expensive sports cars for their money. One owner GR Yaris Recently, I was able to bring the hatch to the ring and closely track the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 throughout the lap. Of course, this is an indication of the driving skills of the person holding the Toyota steering wheel. If a more skilled driver had the steering wheel, Porsche would have run far.

In May 2020, Christian Gebhard lapped the circuit at Porsche in 7 minutes and 32 seconds, reaching a top

Prior to these amendments, Ontario’s net metering regulations required customers to own or operate a renewable energy power generation system and qualify as a qualified generator. April 22, 2022 Ann Fisher Changes in Ontario regulations will increase access to net metering and allow PV customers to receive electricity bill credits for surplus energy sent back to the grid. This change will clarify and enable third-party ownership arrangements for net metering, such as leasing, financing, and power purchase agreements. Prior to the amendment, net metering regulations required customers to own or operate a renewable energy power generation system and qualify as a qualified generator. Energy Minister Todd Smith said: “Families and businesses are leasing rooftop solar systems and benefiting from net metering, removing barriers such as customer upfront costs and supporting new jobs in the growing clean energy sector at the same time.” Encouraging net metering creates new opportuniti

Dear MO To? Will they get it back? Great bike. Rick York Gmail guy Dear Rick, Because not all of us are aware Average streak It was a power cruiser Kawasaki The power cruiser was born in 2002.The Harley-Davidson V rod Introduced a few years ago in 1999, imitation was the most sincere form of compliment at the time. It was even a weak imitation. In 2002, I saw a 1470cc Kawasaki SOHC fuel injection 50 degree V-twin, which rose to 1552cc due to an increase in bore from 2004 to 2008 when the streak ended. And a hotter cam, higher compression, a larger valve on a more freely flowing head, and a larger fuel injection throttle body – the average streak wasn’t particularly fast. But it’s fast enough and has a reputation for being fairly sporty thanks to its reverse cartridge style forks, air and damping adjustable shocks, large dual front disc brakes with 6-piston calipers, and sporty 17-inch wheels. was. Judging from MO’s 2007 Power Cruiser shootout, it seems to be a good enou

The Ford Thunderbird was launched in the 1955 model and had fairly conventional engine options, but the Blue Oval also did a completely unusual experiment. The company once packed a gas turbine engine into the 1955 Thunderbird. Ford archivist Ted Ryan posted a photo and test notes of a turbine-powered Thunderbird. On twitter on tuesday. These are artifacts from an era when automakers considered turbines as a possible alternative to traditional piston engines. The project started in August 1955 and the car was ready for testing in March 1956. According to the test notes, the goal of the project was “to gain experience in packaging and operating gas turbine engines.” Ford also sought to learn “special benefits and problems associated with this type of power plant.” To that end, Ford has invested $ 188,000 ($ 1955) in a turbine-powered Thunderbird prototype. The turbines supplied by the aircraft manufacturer Boeing were installed where traditional engines would normally be used, but
