You should be on your bike! The aircon on my bike is currently set at 33�C.. so if I am in my car with the aircon set at 23� I'd be saving a lot of fuel, right? Nev.. '04 CBR1100XX

Oi, don't you go dragging me into that camp. I repeatedly said more lights need more energy. All I claimed was that adding electrical demand could not by itself increase mechanical load; something has to decide to supply more mechanical effort to satisfy the electrical demand, or to leave the demand unsatisfied. That something (in the simple example I used) was the person pedalling the push-bike. Everything I've read since confirms your viewpoint, not mine, but since I still don't understand it I'm holding off admitting error. -- Cheers Andrew (Checks temperature reading of Hell: still a toasty 400 degrees C) |
