    BYD started out as battery makers. They claim the batteries they use last over 10 years, 2000 full cycles and will give the car an autonomy of 250 miles.

    From wikipedia: "FeO is thermodynamically unstable below 575°C"


    I'm an American so I am out of my depth talking metric measurements, but...575 degrees Celsius is really damn hot, right? Can anyone explain how this can be stable in a battery?


    It also says that ferrous oxide is "pyrophoric" which would've been a much cooler name for the Dodge Circuit concept...the Dodge Pyrophoric = Bad. Ass.

    @Cognitive_Friction: Wustite ("FeO") is thermodynamically unstable under 575°C, but the decomposition of it to magnetite (Fe3O4) and metallic iron is slow. Wustite can only be formed at elevated temperatures, but can be present at ambient temps.

    Ferrous oxide, eh?


    So they've made a battery that runs on... rust?


    Finally, the northeastern US can become completely energy independent, turning old junker cars, tractors and machinery into batteries to power... old junker cars, tractors and machinery.

    Actually, there wasn't an "r" missing, there was an extra "o".

    Mr. Yu is the chief engineer on the battery project, and BYD wants to help Build Yu Dream.

    There's going to come a point where China nationalizes all of its industry and holds the US hostage in a "buy our products or we won't buy any more of your debt" situation.


    If everyone is driving a Brilliance sh*tbox, then we'd all be much more cautious drivers.

    @jduffy13:


    here are some fun ones: kisama no baba o yatchao (means something on the order of "fuck your mother".)


    or here's a fun one that freaks people out

    dare ni mono itten dayo? ("Who the hell do you think you're talking to?", usually said before you're going to fuck someone up. Freaks people out if you say that.)


    There are a few harsh curses in Japanese, though not many. There's not really a "FUCK YOU".


    Though, have you ever noticed the Japanese use of profanity on clothing? There's this one kid at the Mitsuwa market around here that wears this shirt that says "Shit, Shower & Shave" with a barber pole on it, and on several occasions, I've seen girls carrying bags covered with the word "FUCK".


    Back on topic; there's a reason why I drive a 90's thunderbird instead of a newer car.
