Miles In 6 Gallons: Fill & Download for Free

I think HERE balloons qualifies.Simple idea of putting air balloon at parking location.If you see the balloon you are lucky you have just found empty parking space.When you park at that spot balloon will go down as string through which it is attached to ground is now covered by your car which pulls the balloon down.Below is the image illustration.​​Edit:Its an initiative in South Korea by oil company named S-Oil to save fuel... How this will save fuel you ask?S-Oil estimates that the average driver in South Korean capital Seoul drives for a full half-kilometer each day looking for a space. Over a month, that's 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) per car, used for nothing more than parking--and that can mean a whole liter of gas wasted.With the balloons, S-Oil says that in just one day, in one parking lot, 700 cars used 23 liters (6 gallons) less oil. Multiply that across more parking lots and more days and you can see the cumulative benefit.Obviously this idea is not perfect and have flaws like helium is also limited resource, balloons will need refill, multiple people can fight for same free space( but this idea never said it will avoid this, it happens even if balloons are not there )But yet it is the cheapest and low tech way of saving fuel which actually works and that's why its great!

Fun question. So, the 747 is not AR capable but the airplane I flew on is - the C-5 Galaxy, which has the same gross weight, speed, and rough external dimensions of the 747–400. In reality, what ultimately limits the aircraft range for the C-5 is the crew flight duty (FDP) period which is 24 hours. Normally, that means you could fly about a 20-hour leg because the FDP starts 3:15 prior to take off to allow for loading, pre-flight inspection, and flight planning/filing. In certain scenarios, the max FDP gets waived up or, you take off sooner than 3:15 after “show” but, generally, the epic-long leg would be 18–20 hours including at least one aerial refuel. (And the lavatory tanks would be full of piss.) Your question, if I understand it is more theoretical right? Assuming FDP was no factor, and assuming we had unlimited fresh pilots, food, water, gas, Monster drinks, lavatory tanks etc., how long could we go before the plane physically quit? Right? Answer: basically, we’d be like a submarine under those assumptions i..e, we’d be flying circles around the world endlessly for 6 months or more. That means, we’re burning around 20K lbs of fuel (2,941 gallons) an hour and going about MACH .77 or 455 nautical miles an hour - endlessly. Flying on the equator, that means we’d do one orbit every 4 days. (I’ve done it with stops in 6 days.) Very expensive flying - and the aerial refuels would be the most costly fill-ups ever. (When we’re connected to the tanker and pumping gas, we’re taking it on at about 6,000 lbs a minute and we’d be connected long enough to get 100,000 lbs in this scenario - over and over and over LOL.) The limiting factor would simply be a grounding malfunction or a scheduled maintenance action based on flight hours. I can tell you from experience that even with 24 hour limitations on the FDP, in wartime tempo, you’re living in the jet and completely wiped out physically. C-5 crews on the road get an 8-hour sleep in a bed about 3 times in 6 calendar days and our flight hour maximums are higher than the FAA allows (1300 vice 800 in a year).

It’s really quite easy.Let’s say my wife and I are going to from Weaverville, NC, to New Orleans, by I-65 and I-85 — 676 miles. I’ll charge the car up to its max (or close to it) the night before.Then if we set out at the crack of dawn, we drive to Atlanta GA (203 miles), stopping to use the restroom and maybe a quick snack — 20 minutes tops, while charging 100 miles of range or so.Then on to Auburn AL, 111 miles away. It’s 1pm or so, so we stop for lunch — probably at the Panera nearby — for maybe 45 minutes or so, charging all the way up to 270 miles.After that, we drive to Greenville AL (102 miles away), and make another quick pitstop for bathrooms and a quick stretch of the legs — no more than 10 minutes and maybe just another 70 miles of range (back up to 240 or so)128 miles away is Mobile AL — we’re down to 110 miles or so of range, but it’s 5:30pm and we want to just grab something quick to eat at Wendy’s and get the last leg done. So it’s a quick bite (30 minutes) and charge back up to 270 and then back on the road — on to Nawlins!We pull into our hotel 143 miles later, with still more than 100 miles of range left. It’s almost 8 pm, we’re exhausted, and we plug the car into the hotel’s charger, trudge to the front desk and check in. 687 miles in all — we tack on a few driving off the interstate to the charger, but no more than you’d probably do for a gas station. We probably used the Superchargers for about 500 of those miles, or about 125 kWh, at a price of maybe 16 cents on average per kWh — so $20 (plus another $6 for the 200 miles of range (50 kWh) I used from charging at home). That $26 would have paid for about 10 gallons of gas, so I effectively got about 70 mpg for the trip.And as long as we always stop at Superchargers — and the Tesla computer makes it very easy to plan your route to do so — it really doesn’t take any extra time compared to driving a gas car. We’re 47 years old; we have to stop periodically anyway and we have to eat — my days of grabbing a burger and eating while driving to make a 670 mile trip in 9 hours are over. There are always options near the Superchargers that make sense for a long drive like this.
