I think they are talking about how much of the potential chemical energy gets converted into work/horsepower....I really wish they expressed it as an efficiency percentage. But I only have one semester of Thermo under my belt and now I am an accounting major so that tells you how good of an engineer I was.:lol3:can anyone decode the "efficiency" into English?
A snail would cover a quarter faster then the Oil tankers and cargo ships those motors power....then again I dunno if I would want all that mass moving so quickly...:thud: that hitting ya would HURTMy truck's faster in the quarter than that thing is ever going to be.
Heck, I'm probably faster in the quarter than that thing is ever going to be.

I heard a story one time, of a container ship receiving an SOS, and they responded. they asked the guys if they needed help they would have to let them know now, bc of the mass of the ship, it would take them 5 miles to slow down enough to drop a life boat.A snail would cover a quarter faster then the Oil tankers and cargo ships those motors power....then again I dunno if I would want all that mass moving so quickly...:thud: that hitting ya would HURT
