Re: [MBZ] EV Charging sans a cord

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

If there's even a 10% loss of efficiency by going cordless,
it would be criminal to adopt this.  There's too much energy
'in play' when talking about the national EV fleet.

I'm sure this is relatively high frequency, compared to
the 60Hz grid.

Re: [MBZ] Power steering

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

I would say that my 115 300D requires more effort than most vehicles 
that I have driven with power steering.


My W115 200D drives great with manual steering.  Yes, it's
a bit harder in a parking lot.  But _other_ than that, you
don't even notice.

Re: [MBZ] EV Charging sans a cord

[G Mann via Mercedes]

It's OK... there is plenty of safe clean electrical power on our perfect
grid, which has zero defects from being left unattended for 50 yrs.. and
that free power comes from clean nuculear plants which I never see, so it's
"clean"..

If I throw away a few million watts of power because I'm to lazy to plug in
my Green Electric Car.. it's no big thing..

I'm way to Green to have to worry about things like that..

Gotta run.. special at Starbucks on my favorite latte...

Re: [MBZ] EV Charging sans a cord

[OK Don via Mercedes]

Yes, I think so - it might not be terribly heavy, but you have to have a
receiving antenna/transformer coil in the car. My wirelessly charging
electric toothbrush gets warm while on the charger - there are losses in
this system that could be significant for the amount of current required to
charge a car.

The point has been made that power steering doesn't do much at speed.

I say take the pump out of the belt circuit, as an Experiment, and see how it 
drives.  I suspect that once you get over 15 mph, you'll never know it is 
missing.

I disagree.

I have driven hundreds of thousands of miles with "plain"
steering - but it was never a power-assist system run without
assist.

In general, I prefer the feel of un-assisted steering.  Low
speed parking, especially backing a trailer, is a lot more
effort.  In my experience, when traveling faster than parking
lot speeds it isn't really any more effort than power assist
steering.  This experience covers compact cars, full-sized
cars, light duty trucks (pickup), heavy duty truck (class 5
and class 8), without a trailer, with a small trailer (less
than 20 ft [7 m]), and with long trailers (up to 53 feet [16
m]}.

So with a "plain" gearbox, I would not at all mind not having
power assist steering on a W115.

___
I would say that my 115 300D requires more effort than most vehicles 
that I have driven with power steering.
I assume that Mercedes did that on purpose and that it is normal for the 
vehicle.
So, I doubt there is much to gain by going to a non-power steering setup 
on the vehicle and that there is something to lose - especially if one 
is going to drive it for hours at a time in a racing environment.


I learned to drive on non power steering vehicles. My father normally 
did not go in for the frills. We had manual transmissions and power nothing.

I have had a number of vehicles over the years without power steering.
One of them was a 1968 Chevy pickup truck. It was ok at highway speeds 
but a real devil to park. Not so much due to the effort it took to turn 
the wheel so much as the number of turns required. The steering is slow 
compared to power and it is thus more difficult to put into a parking 
spot or to pull into the garage off of the street etc.


In any event, I suspect that it will be as easy to repair the leaks in 
Clay's car as it will be to replace with a non power unit and thus 
suggested he just enjoy the power steering.

Re: [MBZ] M119 oil

A number of people have reported via oil analysis that Truck and Turbo  
is fine for VW PD engines.  Mine is a 2004 and does not have the  
particulate "burner" that older oils will fill with ash, so I think  
it's OK.


It is the only oil on the list at tdiclub that I can find around here,  
short of going to the dealer.  I've used it for years in Mercedes  
diesels, I think it will be far better than the Speedy Oiler stuff my

[MBZ] EV Charging sans a cord

[WILTON via Mercedes]

How dey gonna do dat?  Lemme be quick to admit that my thoughts on the 
subject are stuck on my 1950's to '80's engineering training.  Isn't the car 
gonna need a secondary transformer coil mounted on its underside, with it's 
weight to haul around ALL the time, or are there modern electronic devices 
that can do dat sans the weight (well, much less weight, anyway)?

Toyota Motor Corp. has teamed up with a Boston-based technology company to

WiTricity, which comes out of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,

located in lots or garages that would wirelessly transmit energy to a

The car company hopes to include the new technology as an option on its
plug-in Prius, according to Gruzen. A Toyota spokeswoman declined to

Re: [MBZ] EV Scamming the taxpayers

[G Mann via Mercedes]

I'll wager $1,000 that the "investment" made in this little enterprise, if
you got to the full back story, gloves off, you would find some kind of tax
write off, or "green energy offset" wrapped around the "donation" by
Toyota.. perhaps, an "import tax credit" of some kind..

But.. we won't see that reported, will we..

Any takers? Hard facts otherwise, or you lose.

More boondoggle.

Mr.   Musk sells elektrick cars to rich folks.  Those cars are 
subsidized by taxpayer dollars to the tune of 5,000,000,000.  Yes, 
mr. musk has extracted 5 BILLION bucks from taxpayers to support his

Sure you could.  But you probably want a different gearbox.
Typically the power steering gearbox will have a lower gear
ratio so without the power assist it's a lot more work to
turn than a "plain" gearbox.

There is some force/power lost in pumping hydraulic fluid
when a power-assist steering is used without the pump
running.  I think you could just drain the fluid out and
likely it would work and have less force/power loss.  I don't
know the long term consequence of running a power-assist

Most of the leaks are in the low pressure return line.  about a buck

Sure the MTD is cheaper.  However, that 332 is a _good_
machine and will probably outlast 4-6 of those plastic MTDs
and work better along the way.  It's one of the older style
hydrostatic drive.  Good machines.  I sure wish I had one.

A few years ago on some Caribbean island, same baskets started at $10, 
and that was the seller's opening price for bidding.  I never wanted nor 
needed one, so I passed, next time I'll get them for gifts I suppose.


Could probably make a killing importing them from the islands and 
reselling locally, set up a little roadside stand, be the only white 
folks out there selling them, charge half the price the local sellers 
charge.
