aside from what ferno said, imagine fuel. you drive it around all day. you'd also drive around the batteries. i've yet to see a battery shelf that had a no smoking/open fire sign

mine:
A - forward
S - backward
D - afterburner
rest stick

you could do this:
W - forward
S - backward
D or E - afterburner (or Q to correspond to the relative shift-lock position)

install the d3 sdk and point the editor to it.

generator? how is it driven? dark matter? energy flux from subspace?

see other recent (sort of derailed) topics about \"water power\".

There's no way anyone can ever truly do any permanent damage to this planet. Seriously, the worst we could possibly do is drive a few species to extinction. refresh your memory of that part of history when the atomic fission was invented and what mankind used it for. or rainforest being cut down. t...

what's wrong with that?

So, is for this real? the site shows the same video linked above in this thread. the ad itself has it even marked in yellow that the power to split the water comes from the battery. so, how is the battery reloaded? by a generator run by the engine, which is powered by the water-"gas" in t...

i broke the primary hat switch. though, it was one of the best sticks i had, aside from the missing twist axis.

The ISS is like a houseboat. :P ... which is a habitat in space to conduct experiments that might come in handy when space colonization begins. it's cheap in comparison to a moon base (which is all that counts these days). it's closer and therefore faster to reach in an emergency case. it's an expe...

everything has energy. some things have higher levels, some things have lower ones. basically, energy can be used from one entity to raise the energy level of other entities, if there is a differential . water for instance is h2o (low energy state of the hydrogen-oxygen system). splitting it needs e...

I wouldn't even be surprised if it required more electricity than a car purely powered by electricity, actually. definitely. every energy conversion has an efficiency below 1. that means, every time you convert energy (in this case from electricity to gas), you lose energy. speaking of efficiency, ...

Floyd

it would be interesting to know where the energy he uses to convert the water to gas comes from. i wouldn't be surprised if it was a battery you have to recharge at home ;) however, a flame cool to the touch, but able to cut through metals reduces the risk of injury considerably, for instance in wor...

Tunnelcat - I've read recently that it's now possible to create relatively cheap photoelectric cells that hve been "printed" onto a flexibile substrate (kind of like a bubble jet printer that churns out long thin strips of solar panel). Apparently this technology has the potential to crea...

I seem to remember a circuit board design that there is a way to increase voltage, although there is a relative amperage drop (this goes back many years since I was in collage). So could wind or solar power be used in conjunction with this circuit to create Hydrogen that would not damage the enviro...

Floyd

that depends. i hear that the joystick emulator works somehow. that, and if the source gets released it's easy to implement it.
there is also the option to try and get ID implement it with a patch. interplay/outrage for instance didn't ignore customers back in the day.

... So the audience is not too wide. ... well, that is the problem to begin with. it is not just XP or vista. think mac or linux too. then, not all of us can afford a computer a year (weren't you the one for whom $20 was too much for Doom3? heh!). i don't want to argue with you, because i believe y...

Floyd

why create yet another project? this could easily turn out like the many other attempts we have seen over the years (abandoned). even if you succeed in making something playable, it will bind players to vista only. very short sighted. you have a small community, compared to others. you want an audie...

solar energy, earth warmth or similar power sources. everything else is nonsense, as the article already implies.

The one thing about these kind of images is, like Will Wright said, they're still, 2D images. You don't get to see them moving naturally, or how far away they are, or how often you get to see them. It's why I'm more interested in 3D digital recreations than 2D real images. i assume it to be pretty ...

JRock: i say it again: using a directx or anything proprietary bound engine would lock out linux, mac os or whatever users, which would be just plain stupid. if you want a wide audience, you go with cross platform interfaces. no matter how good the engine is, if it forces you to a single OS, it's us...

if you plan on going multiplayer, you can forget mouselook anyway. it's disabled on most servers, if not all.

Ideally there's a way to get some proper widescreen action going but I'm not crossing my fingers for that for a game from 1999... although D2X-XL seems to do it just fine for D1&D2. :) if you would have read the switches on the link i gave you (or the readsnoone.txt) you would have seen the par...

Has anyone played DiRT? I demo'd that for a while, it has damageable cars, like, if you hit a tree your front end crumples a bit and the car may not go as well, hoods, doors, etc.. fly off, then you run over them on the next lap. To much damage and your done. everything and more in the GTR games in...
