Wow, I thought the
cockpit was a safe place.
Has anyone else out
there developed PTSD from a loss of an engine while flying for Delta?
Maybe we can start a class action lawsuit?
Hell, I had a US Navy
plane blow up in flight and I had to eject. Let's get them too.

If true this will be a game changer and we will know in 2021!!! JK
The comments below that were included with the message are not
mine, but interesting. LR
Regarding the 4680
battery The 6 points referenced I cannot confirm as accurate but I
can confirm Dalhousie Univ is partnered with Tesla.. Panasonic is deeply
involved with Tesla on battery production
Makes for good
reading though../

Did you see this..
https://electricautonomy.ca/2021/01/18/tesla-dalhousie-university-jeff-dahn/
What I can tell you
is the auto industry is " racing " toward electric..
About 6 weeks ago GM
said they were investing 27$ billion in electric.
About a week after
that Ford said they were investing 29$ billion electric
Last week Volvo said
they will convert all of their vehicles to electric no later than 2030. ]
Worth noting I have
not heard a peep about Chrysler and their plans???
So,, in my
opinion the car mfgrs know for certain the planet is in deep trouble and things
need to change fast..
My brother is
retired from GM after 40+ years and he has seen some of what GM plans are for
Canada and electric.. he is impressed and a yr ago he was very much pro
gas powered vehicles..
Have you heard anything similar to the
enclosed ?

I HAVE NOT CHECKED THESE FACTS OUT ,BUT
IF TRUE THEN IT WILL BE THE END OF GAS AUTO'S.

Tesla'sTesla's
4680 Battery
Six things
to Know:
December
26, 2020 Canadians have no idea all of the fancy Tesla battery technology has
mostly been developed in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Dalhousie University has
partnered with the American Electric Vehicle (EV) manufacturer, and created
what is commonly referred to as the Tesla Dalhousie Battery Lab.
The new 4680
Dry-Cell Battery is going into Tesla vehicles sometime between February and
April 2021.
Here are 6
things, in descending order, you need to know for 2021 as civilization begins a
serious transformation from fossil fuel road transportation to Electric
Vehicles.
1 – Range:
996 km (which equals 619 miles), one can drive from Portland, Maine to
Washington, DC or Halifax, Nova Scotia to Quebec City on a single charge. Gone
are the days people worried that an Electric Vehicle wasn’t able to drive long
distances. The 4680 Dry-Cell has changed the game, because gasoline &
diesel cars can’t go the same distance on a tank of fossil fuels. When you have
driven 996 km, it’s time to stretch your legs and have a meal!
2 – Charge
Times: Multiple reports have indicated the 4680 charges in 15 minutes on a
Level 3 High Speed Charger. When not charging your car at home, you will be
able to get it done on the highway quickly for those long road trips in Canada
and the United States.
3 – Cold
Weather: The 4680 Dry-Cell doesn’t have a traditional electrolyte, that means
no liquid acids or gels. Liquid acids and gels don’t like cold, the Dry-Cell
eliminates that problem, especially when combined with the heat-pump Tesla
developed that will become part of the automotive mainstream.
4– Life of
Battery: The days of questionable battery life from the first generation Nissan
Leaf are over – the new Tesla 4680 is good for 3.5 million km’s (2 million
miles) before it’s time to replace the battery. That means it’s a game changer
in not only the car business, but also the long haul tractor trailer business.
5 – Cost:
The manufacturing time and materials required for the 4680 means productions
costs will drop by 56%. We are going to see real competition on the raw sticker
price in the window at the local car dealer. Currently, 4,416 (Model 2170
lithium ion) cells are placed inside a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y long-range
edition battery packs. In contrast, only 960 cells will be required to fill the
same space with the new 4680 Dry-Cell. As an added bonus, Tesla won’t have
cobalt in their batteries anymore, that means no more memes about children in
the Congo!
6 - Future:
You are going to see serious discussions and planning in the tractor-trailer
long-haul business because of the 4680 Dry-Cell. The development and ingenuity
of ever more efficient batteries developed by Tesla will create mass disruption
in the marketplace. In terms of energy density (watt-hours per kilogram) the
present standard Tesla battery has 380 Wh/kg. In 5 years don’t be surprised if
the 4680 Dry-Cell energy density increases by 5% a year compounded from 380
Wh/kg to somewhere in the 480 Wh/kg to 500 Wh/kg range. You need 450 Wh/kg to
make commercial air passenger service viable.

Subject: Aviation Poster
Dave;
I had a poster with picture of a bi-plane impaled in a tree with the inscription that said; “aviation is not inherently dangerous but very unforgiving of neglect and carelessness” ( paraphrasing as I may not have it exactly) ….. I misplaced my copy (Lost it.)
Do you or any of the ORD group remember or have this poster and where they got their copy?
Thanks, Ken Thomas
Ken, I have that poster but do not remember
where or when I got it. Does anyone in our group know where to get one
for Ken? Thanks, David
PS. Please email Ken directly at: kenandsherrill@gmail.com
