I am not saying it’s impossible – I am just saying that the very talented engineers at all of the auto makers have put lots of time in this idea, and have not yet come up with an economically viable solution — yet.

With that little bit of negativity out of the way, let’s get back to what an entertaining engine the Duke has. The torque curve has 40 lb-ft available at around 2600 rpm and reaches its peak 59.9 lb-ft at 6,600 rpm. The hp curve is pretty dang linear and climbs relentlessly to its peak of 96.2 hp at the 9,000 rev limit. In between, the fuel metering is spot on with almost no abruptness in any throttle transitions. This holds true in both street and sport modes. If the bellow of the engine on the gas isn’t enough for you, wait until you roll off the throttle to tap down through the gears. Here, the engine gives a race-bike-like brat-patta-patta-pat-pat that just screams high-performance. Consider the KTM’s claimed weight without gas being 372.6 lb., add in roughly 26 lb. for fuel, and you’re looking at 96 horses driving a roughly 400-lb. motorcycle! (Unfortunately, due to a technical glitch, I was unable to get the actual weight of the 790, so you’ll have to wait until the inevitable shootout to get the MO-certified weight.)  

NSF’s lead leaching protocol[4] for fixtures like faucets involves a 3-week evaluation using water that is more corrosive than the average drinking water but less corrosive than water from some parts of the country.[5] The more corrosive the water, the more lead will leach from the faucet.

Germany, Russia and Latvia each earned two medals Saturday on the opening day of a luge World Cup weekend.

Part 2 will address how codes and standards influence firefighting tactics and why fire suppression personnel must understand standpipe system design and function, how HVAC and smoke-control systems function, and how a fire suppression system contractor took extraordinary measures to train area fire departments.

(4) A check valve, between the sprinkler floor isolation valve and the water flow alarm switch, prevents water from draining back into the riser.

For the stupid anti-vaxxer that was just here: Vaccines don’t cause autism, yet another study finds

There’s something about the knowledge that racing is back and all the anticipation that brings that leads to a back-to-school atmosphere in Australia (if only you enjoyed going back to school).

Similarly, there has been little political impetus to write down America’s crushing $1tn-plus pile of existing student debt; on the contrary, under the Trump administration, the debt-relief programmes that already exist for students have been watered down. And you only need to look at Greece to see the opposition in Europe towards the idea of writing off national debt— even when it is clear that this debt will never be fully repaid. The Babylonian mindset seems deeply alien now.

Had the NCAA’s online transfer portal — which makes it easier to facilitate contact between players and other schools — existed last winter, Stevens might indeed have found a match and left.

KenPom’s No. 4 team checks in at No. 8 here, and the Spartans are plenty battle-tested, going 16-6 against teams in Quadrants I and II. Just as importantly, Michigan State has aced some of those tests even without Nick Ward, who the Spartans should get back. That includes both wins over a top 10 Michigan team, thanks largely to the play of Cassius Winston. But Winston has been a (terrific) constant all year, while Ward’s absence has allowed for the emergence of Kenny Goins and Xavier Tillman. And when Ward comes back, the confidence gained by those players could push Michigan State into a deep tournament run.

First consider scale. The fuel injector valve is VERY small. The mechanical stopper itself is possibly half a mm. The solenoid coil is smaller than a pea. The total weight to move is measured in mg. The only real work being done is against the fuel pressure. The stroke of the solenoid is fractions of a mm. Activation current is really low.
