[@CaseyPutsch]

CORRECT!!!!!!!!!!

[@larrymeadows9991]

the same thing can be said for Gas and Diesel vehicles if you cant get fuels they are just going to sit. There is a video I watched - i'll have to go find it. Where someone was in a Tesla leaving Florida, people were running out of GAS could not Get Gas and he was able to charge at Tesla super chargers, a normal 7 hour trip took 17hrs sitting in traffic,... and Tankers could not keep up with deliveries... So you do have a point but really its about Logistics and the ability to get the Right Fuel... Also I believe that Hybrids are the best solution for many scenarios instead of BEV's.. As Edison Motors has proved they saved about 10k in fuel by using a Hybrid Tractor Trailor setup.

A stuck EV has to be TOWED to some working(!) charging station. Anybody who left Miami in an EV did not make it beyond Jacksonville (about 330mi). I live in Cape Coral. Ins companies asked that hybrids (never mind EVs) should NOT be parked in garage if there is a flood possibility as they can catch on fire and burn the house down. Salt water is worse... Of course if it's outside, then the owner can worry about damage from both fire and debris, falling/flying trees and limbs. Well, it is still better, than burning down the house... I lay odds, that a hybrid/EV started house fire will become a major issue to collect from the ins. co. Everybody with an EV or hybrid should read their home policy very-very carefully, because I'm willing to bet, that there is a clause in small print about these vehicles starting a fire in the garage, and they already are (and/or WILL BE) in some ins. co's policies.

Another thing no one talks about is keeping aging EVs on the road. I’ve owned a Tesla and currently have a Lyriq. (Cheap write off) So not an electric hater by any means. But, electric cars are appliances. Similar to modern TVs, blenders, etc. Once a major component fails, it doesn’t make financial sense to repair VS buy new. A battery for an aging Tesla is huge money. Not to mention the various motors, and other pricey bits that will break over its life and require software to tackle. You can keep a used 90-mid 2010 vehicle on the road forever if you want. Used engines are cheap for the majority of vehicles, almost anyone including a home tech can repair everything. No one factors in what happens after the battery warranty ends with all of these electric vehicles. Also, regarding your math. The majority of EVs sold are in CA. The cost per KWH is double to triple what you quoted. (Granted fuel costs are insane there too)

One is a fairly practical 4 door car, the other is a lightweight sports car, not saying diesel isn't a great power source, but this isn't exactly an apples to apples comparison. You could probably put a power system from a Nissan leaf in the Omega and it would be even lower emissions, and still be relatively light and quick.

Casey, this was a great analysis. In addition, I consider two other factors in Total Cost of Ownership.(TCO) 1. Escrow to replace the battery. Last time I did the math, it was about $0.05 per mile. 2. Greenhouse gas emissions to produce a battery pack vs a fuel tank. Then there's a factor I can't control: 3. Cost to safely dispose of a spent battery pack. Look, we're faced with scarcity of resources - Cost and lead times to acquire new turbine generators and large transformers is through the roof. Transmission lines are insufficient for the load. We can't expand the grid enough to charge our cars. You're right, we have to rethink this.

[@CaseyPutsch]

[@CayoticProphet]

Yes we need to rethink this... We need to rethink why are they hiding the free energy directly above us in the aether, aka the ionosphere.

"They" don't want us to have access to an energy source that they can't meter.

i will add a note. when a car engine blows up or dies. if not rebuild it comes parts or junk. a dead battery pack can be used for other things like back up power in your home. making it worth while doing cost wise is the challenge. you dont see people install a old car engine as back up power source or use it anywhere outside a car? meanwhile you can do that with a battery pack.

[@gnke]

Disclaimer 1: I am a petrol head, always loved cars, always will love them, apart from electric ones because I feel like they are soulless and boring and appreciate Casey's effort to make a more efficient ICE car. Disclaimer 2: In statements below I completely disregard the acceleration and cost stats due to first, in my humble opinon, completely irrelevant and only use of it is boasting rights (no matter the car or its fuel or lack of it) and the second is varying a lot place by place (I'm not from US so this argument loses any value for me, because 1 gal of fuel would cost approximately 4.8 USD which changes math significantly) Issues 1. Doing the diesel total power in watts conversion you did not at all mention that ICEs are inherently ineficient and lose majority of their energy to heat. Engine energy efficiency of diesel engine is way less then 50% and theoretical maximum for burning diesel is about 60% (huge engines alike those used to power the grid or a container ship for example). Any EV uses 80+% of its energy to drive the car. That being said in comparing avg CO2 from generating electricity to CO2 exhausted from burning diesel (or gas) it doesn't make any difference as you later compare actual real world CO2 emission from your car to basically tesla's CO2 emission via powerplants. So that is just FYI that in general when converting fuel to watts you have to account for engine efficiency. If you do that you'd see that your car uses way less energy to actually MOVE the car cumpared to Tesla, that's due to Tesla's weight compared to weight of your car (it's harder to move heavier objects). 2. Noone argues that coal is better than diesel or gas, burning coal is preeeeeety much the worst thing you could do greenhouse gasses wise, hence the push for renewable, clean energy (if you reduce avg emissions per watt of electricity that would push this whole math would be increasingly one-sided). 3. It is trully wonderful that you are able to get more than 100 MPG with your vehicle, it is really great! However using it as an example for diesel vehicles is not representative. For example the most sold vehicle in US - Ford F150 - gets to about 30 MPG on a highway, which is less than a third of your car (once again kudos to you for doing a great job)! 4. ❗‼❗[I've separated it from all other because it is extreamly important]❗‼❗ You have completely disregarded Nitrous Oxides emission (NOx) which is WAY WAY worse than CO2. There's a "CO2 equivalent metric" which compares other green gasses to CO2, and in that NOx is 298 TIMES worse than CO2! Granted, there's also a lot less of it produced in burning diesel (roughly 1/100 compared to CO2), but given how much worse it is you can safely TRIPLE its effect on environment (CO2 emissions divided by 100 and multiplied by 298) so that would bring total output of 4x stated CO2 in CO2 equivalent considering NOx, which would be 84.804 pounds per 100 miles, which is GYNORMOUS. And it is still being calculated for YOUR car and avg american car would do THREE TIME WORSE (256.012 lbs per 100 miles). 💀WILD💀Now, given data from wikipedia US, as of 2021, generated electicity by sourse: 22.2% Nuclear (no emissions), 19.5% Renewable (no emissions), 31.7% Natural gas (CO2 emissions are counted per average KWH generated is already used in calculation, NOx is preeeety much not an issue here with NOx to CO2 ratio being 1 to about 54.5 thousand in burning gas), 26% coal (once again CO2 is already counted in, I am unable to get data on NOx in coal burning, but for the sake of argument I will count it as 10x the diesel, so 1/10 in relation to CO2, basically NOx = CO2/10 and then * 298), totaling it up will bring CO2 equivalent emmisions up to about 40 lbs of CO2 per 100 miles. IT IS STILL LESS THAN HALF OF DIESEL CO2 EQUIVALENT EMISSION!!! Conclusion Diesel engine IS NOT better for environment than electric cars, not even close. P.S. I am genuinely impressed with your car's efficiency, well done! And all other points you made like cobalt and nickel production, waste in manufacturing process, ineficiency of delivering electricity over great distance still stand, and comments have pointed a lot of valid points too like dependancy on grid, inability to repair and a lot of other things are STILL VALID! EV's are not perfect, but neither is modern ICE cars (they are also often cannot be properly maintained for decades anymore and somewhat reliant on fuel stations etc.). If you read all that, I appreciate your time, thank you. Edit: I am not familiar with your channel and by extension your car, Tesla 3 has lots of comfort and safety features, all of which add weight and also limit aerodynamic efficiency. If your car has AC, stereo, seatbelts, airbags, crumble zone and so on then great, if not - it isn't fair comparison, is it?

Well done for putting up the numbers. It would be cool if you could put the numbers in a spreadsheet for us to play around with. That being said, you are taking the "real world range" of the Tesla, while taking the "best you can get" economy of the omega car. Much driving is done in cities where electric cars are much more efficient and diesel/petrol cars are much less efficient because of the lack of regenerative braking, and the inefficiencies of running an engine at varying load. Most people live in cities. Could you do a city trip where you get some data on how much fuel you use sitting in traffic compared to energy consumption in the Tesla? Edit: Also, could you look up how much CO2 is produced from producing Diesel before it gets to the pump?

[@WyFoster]

Id love to know just how much energy it takes to build one Tesla. From mining and refining all the rare earth minerals, to shipping them in from across the world to make a battery cell.

What you may want to take into account is the energy required to produce a gallon of diesel during the refining process, and the emissions used when transporting diesel, but some of that can be offset if biodiesel is used, and it's hard to get exact numbers on energy used for refining since petroleum refining gives you many different products at once.

Just FYI, this efficiency is possible, it's done with a lean burn mode air/fuel curve. The reason we don't use that in the U.S., but is common in Europe, is because it produces more carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrousoxides (NOX).

The Omega concept reminds me so much of the car developed by Robert Quincey Riley nearly 40 years ago. With a small 3 cylinder Kubota tractor diesel coupled to a 5 speed transmission the car would get a maximum of 128 mpg, but was not very powerful. Riley surmised that if the diesel was turbocharged, better performance was likely, although he never did this. Today his company, R.Q. Enterprises, offers plans and instructions for building the Centurion which is based on that original concept. So, anyone who doubts that Casey's Omega is capable of doing what he says it does, should realize that it has been proven many years ago and he is right that the major car companies are doing a number on us. I wish him every bit of success in what he is doing.

Well, I was right. Now I dont pay anything at all and have the knowledge to completely wire everything myself and get limitless energy(even panels are DIRT cheap). They key here is having the knowhow to reusing ev packs for home storage. There isnt a scenario you can come up with that a hydrocarbon can beat what I got going on. The ROI for my systems are 8 months and will silently work for another 20 years. I understand that not many people have thought that far into the future though or care at all.

[@israndy]

There are a ton of people who do this sort of thing, lots of videos on KZbin. I even saw a video where a guy took excess electricity he generated and made hydrogen out of spring water he had on his property, stored it in a giant 1000 gallon tank, and then ran all his farm vehicles off that gas by adjusting the carbs on his pickup and ATVs

[@BlackHillsForensics]

The Aptera has your car beat for fuel efficiency. Americans who live in sunny climates who average less than 40 miles of driving a day would hardly ever need to charge their car (solar charging). Diesel can't compete with that. I would love to be able to purchase a high fuel efficiency diesel vehicle, but I today can buy a brand new long range Tesla Model 3 for $30K with a tax rebate. Is there a gas-burning vehicle on sale that beats the Tesla 3 in terms of the comparisons you're making in this video?

There hasn't been a new successful car company in 100 years (that doesn't exclusively make EVs that is)

[@Jon-yh3gb]

I do not have an EV, but since I have solar panels, I suspect a pre-owned EV would be more cost effective and environment friendly than buying an omega. Or after 10 years is the car still not on the market? (It just seems unfair to be angry that consumers buy products that are for sale)

[@wrenchinnerd8173]

Love it. All I have to know is that your car does not have supervisory software that requires a subscription to get what you bought. Keep going!

[@israndy]

Most modern cars come under that heading, you're gonna be disappointed the next time you go to buy a car. If you want a car w/o cellular connections I love our 2012 Mitsubishi I-miev, just a 16kWh battery and a little motor, yet I fit a full size fridge in it that I bought a Costco the other day. No repairs or maintenance in all this time.

[@spazztastic6246]

I agree that EV are going to be worse at reclycling when it comes to that but there are a few thing that I would like to see adressed in the calculations that are done. First you said that the omega car is cheaper to run but you never specified in what condition (commuting, highway driving, city driving, track racing...). Second at least here in Europe CO2 emissions arent the only measure of pollution (NOx, THC, NMHC, CO and other preticulates) which even coal power plants have much less of than a ICE by percentage of total pollutants. Third you say that there is power lost in the grid which it is, about 5% (I am not the American government so I can´t say for sure but that is what I could find. It could be more). Now even if we say that the grid looses 10% we still get 90% to the chargers and lets say that in the worst case the model 3 has the energy transfer efficiency of 80% (usually between 94% to 97%) from the electric motor. 80% of that 90% of the energy produced by powerplants is still about 30% more efficient than your typical diesel engine so I wouldn´t worry that much about energy lost due to the grid. My biggest worry is the comparison between 2 separate cars. One is small, light 2 seater while the other is a 5 steater "sedan/SUV". Really you should put your drivetrain in the model 3 and compare from there, or put an electric powertrain in your omega car (Im not saying that the electric powertrain would win, but what Im trying to say is you are not comparing apples to apples). Lastly before anyone gets mad I love ICE and I hope that they will still be here when I die (I will drive one as long as they let me), but I though I should point out the flaws I saw with your comparison so that it could be improved in the future.

Did you consider the transport of moving diesel to the pumping stations? And all the in betweens logistics on boats in some countries?

Funny how the oil shills always leave those statistics out, or how the refining of gasoline uses more electricity than all the EVs on the road today combined.

[@rotaryperfection]

I know kit cars don't typically have the following but, Id be curious what your final performance and efficency numbers would be on a more manufactured/consumer friendly setup? Things like A/C, heating, glass side windows and windshield, roll down windows airbags, collision worthyness, etc?

Small displacement turbo diesel is the correct direction for both aerospace and automotive. From the aerospace side of things: light certified aircraft are near impossible to get into turbo diesel power plants for money and certification reasons. Is a shame.

[@MrSnejkaj]

Did you calculate with emissions of diesel production? Usually that is "forgotten". What would the weight of the Omega car be if you build it with modern safety and comfort? The market for a 2 seater tin can is pretty slim..

[@schalkvandermerwe3838]

Not vehicle-related, but: Interestingly, even Nasa says arid areas are getting greener and apparently it's because of the ease with which plants can get ahold of CO2... which makes me think this is the ideal time to improve the topsoils of arid areas through hyperlocalised rainwater retention, which the Paani Foundation's Water Cup in India and Just Dig It in Africa has already shown to be massively effective. People dug holes and made bunds. How much more can be done by an industrialised nation? Magnitudes.

[@briandering4182]

When the lithium from the batteries leeches into the water system, we are all screwed...us and all the life in the aquafer. Then there is the weight of electric vehicles creating more microplastics in the environment because of the excessive wear on the tires. My grandmother always said; "don't put all your eggs in one basket"...which is exactly what electric vehicles will do...and it is someone else's basket and they can take it away at any moment if you are not a 'good little drone for the system'. Casey, you are absolutely on point. I am not a conspiracy theorist, I am old enough to recognize repeating patterns.

[@uncrunch398]

I've read statements by claimed experts in energy production that they need to maintain a baseline load 24/7. Off peak they're burning fuel for energy that doesn't get used. It doesn't save anything to not charge a car if you'd do it only in that off peak period. Some people do produce enough from solar to run their appliances and charge their car. Everything can be protected from any weather. Just make sure water doesn't get to it. Large plastic sheets were used to protect cars from Milton by "bagging" them. Maybe some of those are electric.

[@Sideways117]

Cassey, I've been watching your videos for many years now. I do like the omega car concept, but i feel like the powers at be will never green light this kind of project. I feel like the only way forward for automotive engineering and design is to go open source. The big manufacturing and regulators have all the say in what we get to drive. With all the technology and supporting businesses we have now, we are on the cusp of a revolution where the person could get exactly what they want out of their vehicles.

[@Mr.Z1776]

Casey, I don't have a dog in this fight. I do have to point out that in your calculations, you include CO2 from electricity production. However, you do not include the CO2 from the refining of diesel fuel or the CO2 to transport that diesel to a retailer. To be more accurate, production and delivery of both energy sources needs to be calculated and included. I know there are many other CO2/cost factors involved that aren't mentioned for both vehicles. That being said, even if your Omega Concept turned out to be on par with the Tesla, it's still far more efficient than current internal combustion vehicles. The bottom line is until the government releases Nikola Tesla's wireless engergy, sourced from Mother Earth, both EV's and ICE vehicles pollute.

[@CaseyPutsch]

Gotta start somewhere.

[@wesrihn]

@Mr.Z1776 also, you can't convert fuel used by an ice car to Kw/h without factoring in the efficiency losses of the ICE. For the corvette casey mentioned, we're probably looking at 40% efficiency on a good day.
