Basalt is used mostly for rebar , concrete reinforcement. But would be great for automotive.

Basalt is a dark-colored, fine-grained, igneous rock composed mainly of plagioclase and pyroxene minerals. It most commonly forms as an extrusive rock, such as a lava flow, but can also form in small intrusive bodies, such as an igneous dike or a thin sill.

Basalt shills pls go

Nobody wants to ride around in a car made out of rocks you Flinstones.

>also smoothing something... fuck you.

>an igneous dyke or a thin shill
what did he mean by this?

At least u read it.

this is incredibly energy inefficient. you'll spend more energy creating the fuel, than you'll get in useful work.

Thats the case for all fuels though

>two research groups in China
>China
I don't believe it, it's probably fabricated.

Hippies and diesel haters (especially to VAG haters) won't accept this ideal solution.

Or, get this, you could put said energy directly into the cars as electricity.

efficiency isn't everything though, in fact engineering is full of inefficiencies that are the tradeoff for usability. If we wanted to have the best efficiency possible we'd have to say goodbye to modern amenities, for only quasistatic processes are able to attain it.

>look here guise carbon synthesis is something new and revolutionary
Nah, both my Nazi ancestors and my socialist ancestors have already used the principle to make fuels and rubber out of coal.

The only new part is using atmospheric carbon and renewable energy for it, and this isn't magic either, the mere hurdle is industrial scaling and industrial economy. It's simply not economical yet.

>igneous dike

I love me some syphilis ridden tomboys.

Durability is the worst nightmare for consumerism.

So chances of happening: none.

>The only new part is using atmospheric carbon
you say that as if it was trivial

I mean, that's cool and all...
Except the weight issue in modern cars is not the result of expensive ultra-light comosites...
They've just been layering on more and more stamped, spot welded steel body parts and gobs of shitty heavy sealant at all the seams... Thicker plastic interior parts... And dense, heavy sound insulation.

he probably means that because basalt is cheaper than carbon maybe it could replace steel

Yeah man just store it in electric cars, it's not like creating electricity and transporting it takes energy. And those batteries are picked from trees right?

batteries can be recycled which drastically reduces the energy needed to produce new batteries.

Doesn't get rid of charging and transportation inefficiencies

.5 to 1% loss for every 100 miles of power transmission line

a [fucking] LEAF using the included 110v charger. experiences about 20-30% loss.

Fuck gas, fuck diesel, fuck electric, when are we going nuclear?

this guys get it
imagine the sound of those steam turbines, they'll have us laughing at V12s, rotaries and boxer 6s

>not steam

pleb

Literally who gives a fuck about efficiency losses with regenerative sources? Just fucking build more wind turbines, the sun isn't an oilwell.

it's a shame that electric gives the insane 0-60 normies love,ridiculous amounts of passenger space/cargo room and god tier crash test results isn't it icecucks

and then you are stuck with even more regulation because otherwise some idiot is going to recreationally irradiate his neighbors.

Non-asbestos organic composite friction materials including basalt fiber are increasingly used in automotive brake disc pads and clutch facing applications. Loss in braking effectiveness at elevated temperatures (300-400°C) because of reduction in friction coefficient and the revival of the same at lower temperatures is referred to as fade and recovery, respectively.

Technical advantages of basalt fiber for this application:

2-3 times longer service life of the break assembly
Durable frictional contact with metal without its weardown
Higher and more stable friction factor
Increased shock resistance
Extended working temperature range
Resistance to chemically aggressive conditions
Low water absorbency
Eco friendliness
that's a custom part

Just looking for feedback, if your comments are valid fine.... I know some of you just LIVE to shit post. It's the lads with more Knowledge than me on this subject than I'm hoping to hear from.
> last BASALT post

Post your pay stub you fucking shill

>normies
>caring about 0-60, specially when if depletes the batteries
>caring about EVs at all
lol, EVs are like 3% of the new car sales, and it would be much lower if not for government subsidies and incentives
