Two inductive paddles touching each other with zero gap is nothing like trying to discuss inductive charging with coils embeded in the road shining their field up to the underside of a moving vehicle. It doesn't work practically.
.
Modifying all of our heavy rail diesel with an electrified contact however is a no-brainer and should be our first priority in building out electric transport infrastructure. Regular diesel trains could still use the same track. And be retrofitted to run on electric rails where possible and switch to diesel where needed.

They talk about new batteries that will charge three to eight times faster to be competitive with liquid fuels. That will be like trying to channel a lightning bolt through the cable.
Wireless over-the-road charging would involve plasma discharges and EDM pitting of the inductor plate.

Diesel trains are electric.
They would just need to be modified a little to use overhead power or 3rd rail power. Then where there is no external power or if the power goes out, just fire up the diesel engine and keep going.
Right now the widely adopted limit is 125 amps. Proprietary chargers can be higher.
For the leaf your max charge power is around 50kw (125 amps at nearly 400vdc)
Even that takes a 3 phase 480v connection running 100 amps, or about 70hp worth of power.

It was Biblical, 1000yr floods two years in a row.

If you try to watch a portrait video in portrait, do those cursed black bars go away?

You tell me. If I turn the monitor on it's side it doesn't swap.

I really don't think that we have any idea what a real 1000 year flood looks like.

Sure, we know what a "1,000 year" flood looks like - they look like these floods. The whole point is that, with climate change - we are getting these severe events MUCH more often.

When there is a thousand year flood every few years, it's probably not a thousand year flood.
I'm curious as to how flood data was recorded 1000 years ago?
Or is this just another case of pure assumptions and more "make it up as you go along"?
Floods are weather, so weather events are climate now?
