      Yeah, I was exactly the same. I love the Ariel Atom so I was fascinated by the Vanderhall Edison 2 but frankly seeing that Tesla electric motor has blown me away. Tesla was a genius but a terrible businessman who was exploited by Westinghouse and deserves a lot of credit for the modern age of electricity. There is a fantastic book by Richard Munson called "Tesla - Inventor of the Modern" which I seriously recommend anyone read.
      Thank you so much Jay, I love your passion, your insights and that you keep these marvels safe for prosperity. You truly are a inspiration to us all. God bless you and your family.

      @ACTSRevolution Před 4 lety

      I especially thumbs-up the addition of period manufacturing explanations. There is imperial gravitas in Jay's subject, even tho he is only gearing up for a new LA theme park (LA is saturated with that silliness). If you wouldn't want to return to a park, you won't want to drive across LA for it, especially if you come from out of state. Getting customers into the gate is one thing, but keeping them engaged is going to be critical. I would pay LA admission prices if I could get into the economic background of these vehicles and imagine myself a contributor. Period materials and processes, that is what makes these automotive achievements important and impressive.

      It was from a LONG time ago (Arab oil crisis?), but I remember one toiler in the field of Electric Cars writing "Electric cars are a great idea if you want to run your entire transportation system on coal".
      Now, with renewables a much more viable option, moving to electric vehicles is a key part of any carbon-free or carbon-neutral energy strategy, if we want to go there.

    Just a slight correction to Tesla's bad deal with Westinghouse. The original agreement was that Westinghouse was to pay Tesla $2.50 for each horsepower of AC electric motor sold. That would be the rough equivalent today of about $50 per HP. Tesla held the patent for the AC induction motor which was massively important. This is still the most important type of motor even today. When Westinghouse ran into financial trouble Westinghouse asked Tesla if he could reduce the $2.50 per HP payment. Tesla said he didn't have to pay him anything and tore up the contract! As you said, if Tesla had held on to that payment or even just took the reduction that Westinghouse proposed he would have been one of the richest people in the world at the time. To say he was a bad businessman is an understatement.
    By the way, I enjoyed seeing the vintage electric motor but then again I am a retired electrical engineer.

He had several great inventions such as the AC induction motor, improvements to AC power distribution, the Tesla coil, and portions of radio technology. He also had a lot of totally wrong ideas such as he didn't believe in the existence of the electron, didn't believe in the theory of relativity (special or general), didn't understand Maxwell's equations, didn't believe in the theory of quantum mechanics, thought that the ether was real, thought that Martians were sending us messages, and others.

I have watched dozens of episodes. The electric motor in this episode is as fascinating as the steam engine was in another. I have learned more from this channel about vehicles than I ever would have from any other source. I say don't shirk on the details like an electric motor by itself, the small stuff is excellent.

    Really interesting video. Back in the early 1960s my neighbour rebuilt a 1930s Morgan with a vee-twin 1000cc Matchless engine, when I owned a 1932 BSA sports car. Which was a development of the BSA three wheeler. Morgan's four wheel sports car exactly copied the BSA with the exception of the radiator shell.
    BSA sports cars were owned by Daimler, which is why the crankshaft was fully machined all over and the unitary gearbox and front wheel drive was all aluminium. And in 1932, the independent front suspension had four quarter eliptic springs on each side, with fabric based universals.
    They were a part of the group that made Lanchester cars.
    With all of that nostalgia in my mind, I totally enjoyed the video. Now I have a new goal.

    Love the channel great content as usual (especially during these turbulent times).
    Quick note. The pollution stops only if the car is charged by solar or other renewables. If the power comes from the plug (in California) it is only 31.2% renewables and the rest is either nuclear, hydro (damaged ecosystems) or coal/gas-burning power plants, therefore when charging the car 68.8% of the electricity in the battery will be produced by either non-eco-friendly means or by "burning" something, i.e. CO2 emitting processes. Furthermore, considering production CO2 emissions, for example, the famous Prius production cycle goes like this => the nickel (for the batteries) comes from the mine in Canada (very polluting process - sulfur), then they send it to Europe where it is refined, then to China where it is turned into sort of foam, then it goes to Japan where they put it into batteries which go into the car => then they ship the cars back to the USA. The car will have done the circle around the Earth before it leaves the showroom floor. And then (get this) you still need to put gas into the Prius + maintain that gasoline engine...

      Solar and wind being the cleanest sources of electricity CO²-wise is a common misconception. Considering the amount of rare earth metals and the life span of turbines and panels, plus the fact that most of these are produced in China, which powers its factories mainly with coal, nuclear power and hydro are by far the "cleanest" regarding CO² emissions.
      Still you have a point bringing up that electric vehicles are not charged "cleanly". Nothing will in fact, the very definition of using energy means transformations are made, nothing is 100% clean.

      @@Fatman67 their is so many hidden pollutants within an electric car, like you say. A well maintained 30 year old car actually has a much smaller impact on the environment than a new electric car. The point where the electric car becomes more environmentally friendly than the 30 year old vehicle is at around the 400,000 mile mark, by which time the batteries will have needed replacement at least twice, therefore negating the supposed environmental advantage of electric cars in the first place. Currently, they are nothing more than a "feel good" purchase,which will only really benefit their local environment, but on a global scale, they are still a highly polluting product. Undoubtedly, in time, that will change for the better.

      @@pablojones5613 Not quite sure about that 400.000 miles mark, that seems to be excessively weighted in favor of gas engines even if you take very pessimistic efficiency figures for electric vehicles.
      Electric vehicles are already cleaner than gas engines (even with coal powered electricity) after some mileage (probably something the 10s of thousands range rather than hundreds of thousands), but the source of power to charge them has a dramatic impact on overall figures for sure.

That's nothing compared to gas and it's associated pollution. Try as you might but any hate towards an electric vehicle is invalid when it comes to efficiency and pollution excuses.
