  • Electric motors have high torque at low RPM

    For anyone scrolling by and curious about this, this is caused by the combination of physical and electrical resistance. In a typical engine, RPM and torque go up together because it requires more force to get to those higher RPMs (IIRC this is called positive correlation). In a circuit, you have to kind of convince the electricity that it would be better off somewhere else (by connecting to a ground, this is due to electrical resistance), so you have to give it a heavy upfront load to get it going which causes a lot of torque due to the physical resistance









  • Not technically my first lease, but the first one that I’m financially responsible for which is pretty neat…

    Ya know I was gonna say “all things considered” at first but I realized that it’s actually only neat if you consider only a small portion of things. If you consider all things, you would realize that paying rent in a post-scarcity world is laughable
