I think you're mistaking the meaning of "basic".

You can absolutely play CSGO for years, try all of it's game modes and NEVER have to use a damn skin or open a box. In fact lots of people do.

Just because a minority of players decide to waste ridiculous amounts of time and money in a side aspect of the game doesn't make that aspect "basic" at all.

Also, please explain to me how are pokemon and many other card games not forbidden to kids, since to you they fill the definition of gambling.

P.S.: 99% of dragon lores don't come from boxes, they drop randomly for operation players without need to buy any keys, get your damn facts straight.

comment to undo mistaken moderation :(

Probably for the same reason most people don't use satellite phones: Costs.

Not only monetary for the equipment, but also power costs and latency costs. It makes more sense to have all the "local" comms being short range and only then route them via a long range link when needed.

If you want another example think about internet: You could potentially have every net node conect to all other nodes up to a certain range, but it's a way better idea to have a tree architecture.

So, let me get this right:

You want to substitute a heavy battery pack with an efficency that's around 80-90% and with a single electrical motor.

And you want to use something that will be heavy too unless you have magical weightless flywheels, with a pair of electrical motors (one in the flywheel and one to drive the wheels) that also add to the wheight and since you apply the electrical motors twice, kills some of the efficency advantage you propose because that extra motor has an efficency that's around 90-95%, without considering aditional mechanical loses.

Ever heard of overcomplicated solutions?

The gains for your idea are minimal:
The flywheel is a mechanicall solution, and as such it's WAY more prone to breakdowns.
Modern electrical motors require rare earths ,and considering you now need 2 instead of one you're diminishing the enviromental advantage of not having to manufacture a battery.
The safety doesn't improve either, because flywheels are just a different kind of danger vs Li-ion.

And how do you get the energy out of such an arrangement, because a mechanic transmission to a flywheel rotating freely inside a gimball sounds dificult to me.

And then you have to create a transmision to get the energy out of the damn flywheel without fucking up the gimball wich seems to be not so trivial considering the movement that the flywheel would have inside said gimball.

I Allways wondered why everyone who thinks that flywheels are viable for vehicles forget about the giroscopic effect, a flywheel with a inertial mass huge enough to power a vehicle would present a huge new set of problems to think about. Keep in mind that even if you mount it horizontally to avoid the effect when turning, any lateral force, like when making turns at high speed, or hitting a speed bump would create a very noticeable backlash from the flywheel.

Because tunnels...

If you get into a tunnel GPS signal goes out and your speed control becomes useless, and then you need some other kind of speed control inside tunnels, and once you have implemented that one, the gps one becomes redundant...

And wasting money on redundancy is something CEOs hate.

If only the taste of instant coffe wasn't shit...

You should check EVE online if you want brutal mechanics :P

I see what you did there...

And citing a very specific effect in very specific conditions instead of nature, without context impliying that it's the general effect isn't a technicality. Right...

It's ironic you're talking about being clueless...

In the conditions aplicable to this article (make it 1 atm.) water ONLY freezes at 0 celsius. so there is no way "hot water freezes faster than cold". You're probably repeating something someone told you about the energy it takes to raise/lower the teperature of water being related to it's actual temperature, but that's a diferent thing.

Learn some thermodynamics before spewing shit like that...

Just noticed that's two words, not three... I was going to call it english channel tunnel then checked the right name...
