9.1 MW Engines For Trimaran Ferries | Fuel Injection/Nozzle

1. Transmission. Who wouldn’t want a transmission built by Formula 1 supplier Pankl?2. Cylinder head. The 15mm lower Husky/KTM cylinder head is a giant step forward in lessening cam twist. It also makes the bikes feel lighter in the air as the weight is lower in the chassis.3. Sound. The Husky is the quietest production 450. It was only 111.4 dB on the 2-meter-max sound test and 93.2 dB on amateur sound test.4. Weight. At 224 pounds, it is the second lightest 450 on the track.5. Electric starting. You can’t give credit to Honda, Yamaha and Kawasaki for having electric starting without giving credit to the bike that got there first.6. Radiators. The radiators are mounted 12mm lower on the frame, and the water capacity is up 20 percent.7. Handlebars. Every test rider liked the new ProTaper handlebar bend.8. Maps. Even though the black box is the same on the 450SXF and FC450, the two maps feel different. We were told that the black box was tuned to the FC450’s ice-cream-cone restrictor muffler, which explains why we liked the FC450 maps better than the KTM maps. 

With a targeted launch date of 2019, the company behind the ferry, Golden Gate Zero Emission Marine (GGZEM) intends the vessel to be

LIDAR sensors based adaptive cruise control system is expected to remain the most dominant technology type

I have a basic pass/fail test for safety systems. If they enable me to do what I want better than I can do it myself, they pass. If they insist on doing something I don’t want to do, they fail. ABS passes because it enables me to brake at the limit of adhesion. ESC passes because it will save my ass if I overcook a corner. I paid $2,000 for the navigation system on my 2008 Infiniti because it included a backup camera with the projected path superimposed on the screen. I have yet to experience blind spot warning but would expect it not to alert unless there was a vehicle truly in the blind spot rather than in the second lane over or a car length behind me. (I’d prefer cameras with graphics to show me exactly where the other vehicle is. Then, I could make an informed decision.)

I can see a certain level of some of these driver aids but it’s jumped the shark. Inattentive idiots are using this stuff as an excuse to be even bigger morons. That’s a net loss.

1. Powerband. Initial throttle response is quicker, but the power gain from low to mid is slower.2. Airbox. We have never experienced a KTM that didn’t breathe, but the 2019 450SXF’s all-new airbox holds the engine back— especially in the low-to-mid transition. We drilled holes in the airbox cover to gain power, switched to the quick-turn throttle cam and added a tooth to the rear sprocket to liven things up.3. Sprocket. Watch the sprocket bolts closely—and not just when the wheels are new. They loosen up constantly.4. Spokes. KTM redesigned its spoke nipples for 2019 to keep them from coming loose. It didn’t work.5. Frame. The more rigid frame makes the bike more accurate but less forgiving—it is best in the hands of faster riders. Vet test riders liked the 2018 frame better.6. Bars. Most riders did not like the feel of the Neken bars compared to the Husky’s Pro Tapers. 

“Although this  is new technology for some  companies, Perkins has been using this technology in off -highway machines for many years. In fact, we have powered more than 500,000 machines running on construction sites, all fitted with this type of aftertreatment.”

“As for all those ‘against’ having additional ‘safety features’. Well I have children out their driving and would very much like to see every vehicle on the road equipped with these advanced devices, to protect my children from distracted drivers, bad drivers, ‘boy racers’ and those who overestimate their own driving abilities.”

Every once in a while, i buy a car or two at a local auction, fix it up and resell it for a few dollars. At the last auction i went to, there was a former taxi 2007 Prius with 589,000 miles on it. I always wonder how many batteries it went through; and I sure would like to know the overall cost of maintaining the car over 11 years.(just out of curiosity)

But remember, it’s just a patent. It may not go anywhere. For now, it’s an interesting piece of tech and I’m eager to see if GM does anything with it.
