Re: How to charge a Makita battery that wont charge on the charger due.
David- we all know that automotive technology is there, exotic car makers use the same technology and all manufacturers use robotics...granted.. it cuts down on labor costs over the long run, cut down on injuries by employees handling heavy pieces--all great, but it also comes with a price tag. Batteries are great, but it takes a lot of time and energy to produce a battery, it's lifetime is not forever, recycling of the rare earth metals is sometimes problematic, the Chinese have a virtual monopoly on these metals.
The whole process is "not Green" if you look at all the energy used!
Back to stonecutters quote- about not working for contractors...absolutely true! As a teacher, you haul yourself to your place of business--do your thing and return home. As a contractor, you bring yourself as well as all the tools required to accomplish all the things you are expected to do. I haul thousands of pounds of tools with me on a daily basis--just because people expect you to do something once you show up! Make an electric vehicle that is affordable and economical to operate and haul yourself plus a ton of stuff every day and maybe you have something. I cannot stop after 30 km for a recharge--I'm on the clock!
Tesla was responsible for introducing AC electricity to modern America. Something that could be transmitted over high voltage lines vs DC that needed huge cables to transport much less. He held multiple patents but I think he worked with wireless transmission--don't know if he was able to patent any of those ideas.
Think of the concept- Electricity is transmitted through the air like radio waves. All you need is a receiver to tune in and meter your use. Apply it to anything electric...it is possible! Just need the technology to do it! Would really anger a lot of oil companies like Shell, Exon, etc---but they could still sell their products as lubricants, but I heard that whale oil is one of the best lubricants--maybe time for breeding whales and harvesting whale oil!
