Volt

Oh, no, I was just, "Okay, I think I have name." Then, um, we're creative, right? We're creative, we're marketeers, so I'm like, okay, uh, mind, mind.

I want something with the mind, right? And then vault because, like, voltage, V-O-L-T.

So I key in on the laptop M-I-N-D V-O-L-T. 10 other, 20 other agencies come up.

So I'm like, this is a very lame name, la, like MindVault.

Then I remove the word mind.

I'm born in the month of July and I like seven.

Mm.

So I just change, uh, 7Vault, V-O-L-T.

Their circuit is just pulling a completely different random electron out of the ocean to complete its own flow.

OK, so to represent this pulling force in our diagrams, the book introduces a new symbol, the capital letter V.

Now, I know V stands for voltage, but Petzold argues that conceptually it's highly useful to think of it standing for vacuum.

Yes, the vacuum metaphor is incredibly helpful for visualizing electrical potential.

But wait, a vacuum cleaner sucks air because it has a spinning fan inside, creating low pressure.

And this brings us to the crucial concept of zero potential.

The ground, the Earth itself, is considered the point of zero electrical potential.

Voltage is the potential to do work.

可能冷氣壞咗吧。 撞鬼你啊,調到三十度。 唔記得咗睇溫度添。

So our focus today is on these measurement words, words for degrees or volts or watts.

And in the dialogue, that's obviously the most important.

It's degrees.

... whereas an EREV is a electric car, uh, that potentially, uh, can use a gasoline engine to extend the range of the battery.

Now, there's another one, uh, that's a serial hybrid, which is a new Rogue, uh, and the Volt, that was also a serial hybrid.

And you wanna talk about a serial hybrid, which is the way locomotives work.

Now, this is a whole nother conversation.

Oh.

The other-

But the, but the Volt I wanna clarify, the Volt is just a normal plug-in hybrid

hybridUh, yeah, but the, w- what, okay, so the downside to a serial hybrid, uh, is that it's really good in the city-

Hello.

Sorry, when you said speed and efficiency, this reminded me of a friend of mine got approached by Volt on the street because we have elections this weekend.

So Monday, when you're hearing this, hopefully we live under a left regime now in Berlin.

Yeah.

All right, before the actual...

Fuck it.

I've been holding my wad for too long of Volt criticism.

Because it's fun.
