Oh you know what, I got him mixed up with Ben Burgis. I get the two confused real easily for some reason.

Is that why they abandoned it with the NEP and never tried again after? Because they pursued it ruthlessly?

Oh you want to have both an electrical system and a mechanical chain-drive, i thought you wanted maximum design simplicity, that's why i left out the chain-drive. You know that you can peddle a generator to power a wheel-motor, you'll have some conversion losses but since you are substituting with battery power anyway that doesn't really matter.

>That would be fine for cruising on bare, dry asphalt, but on uneven terrain (think packed ice with patches of snow) I wonder how responsive such a thing would be.
Yeah an electrical-only system is rather elastic in it's responses, if you want to suddenly launch into an explosive sprint to the finish line in a cycling competition, this is no good, but in difficult terrain, this could be advantageous because you'll have smooth continuous power-delivery that helps with traction.

>Would the throttle be on the handles the way that a motorcycle's is?
No there's no throttle in this, you have a switch with multiple positions that represent different parallel and serial motor coil configs that change speed for a given voltage of the motor. You'll choose a switch position that basically represents a given speed, and then your e-bike will accelerate (limited only by the internal resistance of the battery) until it reaches the set speed. You'll realistically have between 3 to 6 speeds. If you don't want to accelerate you turn it off. This is functional but you sacrifice fine speed control for maximum design simplicity. You also have to choose an appropriate battery that won't burn out the motor.

>I would hate to have to use one of those expensive lithium batteries. It just doesn't seem very Soviet. Something dirt cheap that you can recharge with a crank and some water–that's Soviet as hell.
You don't need that many batteries for an e-bicycle, so it's not as cost-prohibitive as with cars to use lithium cells, but yeah a less resource constraint battery chemistry that's also light-weight enough, that's still missing.

>That wouldn't work with an alternator.
Yeah that's the case for all metal-air batteries, but they do store huge amounts of energy and are super cheap. You can have 200km or 125miles range per battery (aluminum-air version) and could gPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>Oh you want to have both an electrical system and a mechanical chain-drive, i thought you wanted maximum design simplicity, that's why i left out the chain-drive.
Yeah, I was thinking of using the electric motor to assist the rider rather than providing all the driving power itself. I have seen those around, and they seem useful if a bit heavy.
>Yeah an electrical-only system is rather elastic in it's responses, if you want to suddenly launch into an explosive sprint to the finish line in a cycling competition, this is no good, but in difficult terrain, this could be advantageous because you'll have smooth continuous power-delivery that helps with traction.
An interesting thought. I would have thought that being able to feel the road would be helpful in that regard, but you may have a point. Now I want to test the theory.
>You'll realistically have between 3 to 6 speeds.
Why not use a dial to adjust the voltage and control speed that way? I'm no electrician, so I don't know.
>You don't need that many batteries for an e-bicycle, so it's not as cost-prohibitive as with cars to use lithium cells, but yeah a less resource constraint battery chemistry that's also light-weight enough, that's still missing.
How much power do you think it would need with the operator pedaling and only using the electric motor as an assist for, say, cruising and for accellerating up-hill? Oh, and would attaching the alternator to the rear wheel allow for the bike to be charged while coasting down-hill?
>If there was ubiquitous infrastructure that stocked spare cells, this could work and it would be super convenient because instant refill.
Decades after the introduction of the first Tesla, electric cars still lack sufficient infrastructure. I would prefer to have something that is a bit more self-reliant.

Idk mate, it seems like most the posts here fall into 3 categories

1)spergy posts about esoteric IT that no one uses
2)fawning over anime girls or ugly real life girls
3)political things that cause fags to screech about fashism or holler that doesn't matter.

Not my fault no one can muster up the motivation (despite the supposedly endless self proclaimed creativity and intelligence of ppl here) to post political things that are acceptable to the oversocialized western left(tm)..

Protests are fine but the french need to organize themselves further and start accomplishing things. What do years of yellow vest protests have to show for it?

Organizing a sustained general strike would be an enormous effort but probably effective. You need to actually have a plan to keep people at minimum fed while they aren't working so any kind of feel-good liberal attempts won't work here. I wonder what organizing an extensive mutual aid network looks like in 2023…

By these alone I can tell you didn't even have the basic Marxism 101 introduction necessary to opine about such topics. You are so full of shit yet so self-confident, I can not but assume you are an American.

TBF Iraq threw the gulf war by actually believing the US would stick to its cease fire agreement.

>>464376
Iraq fucked the war by thinking that the Saudis would not allow the coalition to use their territory as a staging point. Well, they were fucked anyway when the F-117 and the B-2 wiped out their air defenses, but they should have lasted longer than a few weeks.

>>464378
>they should have lasted longer than a few weeks.
Saddam's government was already crumbling before the invasion. There was legitimate (if short sighted) support on the ground for toppling his rule. I think if the Americans have waited a few years more, they could have color "revolutioned" the shit out of the country. But this was in the era right before the burgers shifted to using color "revolutions," and the argument could be made that their shift was a direct result from the blowbacks from Iraq/Afghanistan. The thing is, the USA manufactured/had a casus belli and the establishment wasn't going to spoil such a splendid opportunity.

In any case, I'm recommending picrel movie. Putting aside its "muh democracy" fetish, I think it captures nicely does crucial weeks inside the US gov.

The level of technology and the level of the development of the means of production outgrows mere competitive and private enterprises and must by managed on either the conglomerate or state - without necessarily and emancipation of the working class.

People here are wrong in thinking neo-liberalism is the dominant trend. Rather, a sort of emergence of the power of a technocratic supra state is the dominant modern emergent feature.

>>464069
That would imply that nationalist capitalism isn't on the menu then. Neoliberal capitalism is the emergence of a technocratic supra state, how can it coexist in a world where states attempt to wrest national control back over their capitalist classes?

>>464070
Another case of zoomers using words without understanding their meanings

>>464068
That countries are showing signs of shifting allegiances to the national bourgeoisie is part of an emerging political strategy in response to multipolarisation. For example, it won't be possible for the United States to both outsource the vast majority of production to China while also fighting them in a war.
Thankfully, as of right now the militaries of the United States and every other great power are pathetic. But it's likely this trend will change. We're already seeing renewed naval and nuclear arms races.

No, he's not. Althuserians are never right about anything. Porky is eating Porky, which is exactly what Marx said would happen.
