    For those that haven't actually read this proposal, here is a link.

    Here's a summary...it's a complete joke. It's nothing but platitudes and baseless desires with nothing resembling a concrete plan.

    It's like reading a highschooler's diary talking about their dreams and desires, with zero basis in reality or ways to actually accomplish those dreams. And then they grow up, get hit with reality, and live in their parents basement until they're 40.

    Possibly because it is not intended to be a concrete plan, but rather a statement of goals.

    Sure, in the same way Pelosi was going to get Trump reelected again, remember that? Right up until she kicked his ass.

    Yes, I would say the cord is pretty clearly powering the tractor. A 10 gauge cord is good for about 30 amps. So can you tell us what the input voltage must be to power
    the tractor under load of 100 KW?

    Sure, but what's more relevant, I can do the research for you and tell you that:

    Thats a sprayer hose...they are not going to power a factor with 120volts, Toro has a battery driven tractor.

    Well, let's hear it!!
    Come on!

    I don't need your help, but you need the answer to answer the next question.

    Where is the farmer going to plug that sucker into? That is, once he figures out how to get that beast down the road to where the field is located.

    This is absolutely true, if you mean Tractor.

    Tesla coming with a 100KWH battery. That would be 100 KW good for an hour, if you could get it all for use in a 100 kw tractor.
    More likely good for 40 KWH though, used over several hours. Might need about four of these in a Tractor using 100 KW and hour. Probably need to swap the battery pack for another at lunch break.

    Wait until Marazul finds out how diesel electric trains work.

    I looked at a sweet little drive system for a sailboat. It had a 10 KW motor, running on 600 volts, and a max of 20 amps.
    But I already had installed a neat little direct injected 4 cylinder diesel engine. I think it might be close to the most efficient made to date.
    It averaged .7 gallons and hour coming up the coast last spring.

    No it's not a sprayer hose! Learn the tractor, then post.

    You should use this thing called a sail. I heard they're great on sailboats. Very green!

    Mine are mostly white, but I have one big Tanbark, and some colored Nylon.

    The trouble coming up the coast, especially for a singlehander, is;
    You are waiting in port for calm conditions, especially heading north as you are bucking both wind and prevailing waves as well as currents.
    So then when you go, there is likely no wind, and you kind a need to make your next port on time with the tide so you can get in over the bar.
    Some of these runs are an over night deal, and you don't want to tear you ass up with too many nights consecutive being a single hander with no relief.
    The longer you go the worse your capabilities get, including your discretion and decision making.

    Thank goodness for the efficient little Iron Sail.

    lol....i never saw the article only a partial pic. I went back and read the article. Interesting, but a 100KW wow. They better do some peak shaving at certain times of the day.

    I don't think you are thinking about this right. Uncle Bob is probably not going to replace his worn-out tractor with one of these. A big Ag outfit that can afford to invest in the infrastructure, amortized over a lot of land and multiple tractors, might. It's not impossible to get electricity to a farm.

    That said, this is just a prototype, who knows if it will actually get built. Maybe a battery-powered robot tractor will work better - if it can robotically charge or change it's own battery pack, it won't matter if it can only go 4 hours on a charge.

    Good thing about robots - they can plow the field just as well in the dead of night.

    True, but it ain't going to run that tractor loaded to 100 KW either. But I guess you didn't answer the question I gave you.
