mau 🏳️🌈 #EndFossilFuelsWe also gave bad petrochemical, mechanical and electrical engineers too much money.
There's a genre of videos showing "creative" applications of Internal Combustion Engines, in which a motorcycle gets repurposed into a water pump, or multiple small motors get rigged together to make a loud, stinking dangerous mess of a vehicle.
ICE's make it possible to bring insane ammounts of force to bear with little effort and cost.
The fuel is so energy dense it can overcome a crap systems lack of efficiency and excess of friction. So efficiency, friction, and quality play no role in the design and manufacturing.
A lot of "modernity" works the same way. Not with careful application of the required force, but with overwhelming waste.
