G+_Jeff Brand Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Following Bryan Burnett 's interest in motorcycles, I would love to see you guys do some segments on related topics. There's a lot to cover including: Internal combustion * How they work 4 and 2-strokes * Crossover into gas-powered RC * Crossover into e-bike mods, including bicycles Vehicle and Safety tech * Materials: Kevlar, carbon fiber, etc. * GPS, GoPro, etc. * Variated transmissions vs manual vs auto-clutch While larger motorcycles get expensive quickly, smaller-engine vehicles like mopeds, scooters, bicycle conversion kits, and vintage restoration projects can cost about as much as the quad projects mentioned in recent shows. Just a thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Daniel Armstrong Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Sounds great, provided they get it all 100% right. One of my biggest pet peeves are videos and articles online that get it mostly right but have just a few errors. They are even worse than all wrong or all right.

G+_Jeff Brand Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Well that's never going to happen.. The TWiT Army will pick nits until the end of time (How do you say GIF?), even if the hosts put a disproportionate amount of time into fact checking every statement they make. They do their best, and as they've recently stated: they've built and rebuilt every demo at least twice before it makes it to the screen. That's part of the process to learning. (Hmm, maybe the show should be called Learn How and not talk so matter-of-factly about "Knowing" everything... :P ) If only there was a forum for people to provide constructive feedback and corrections... Like a discussion group of some sort... :D And now, without the sarcasm: Have you ever seen a broadcast news story about tech or some other topic that you personally know and wish you could interrupt the broadcast by shouting "That's not how it works!" Hopefully KH isn't that bad in your eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Daniel Armstrong Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 "Have you ever seen a broadcast news story about tech or some other topic that you personally know..." All the time. Any time a crime show babbles off some random tech gibberish, Etc. Anyone who refers to all refrigerants as "Freon" (capitalized because it is a DuPont trade name for their CFC and HCFCs). For instance R-134a is NOT a Freon, DuPont calls it Suva. Anyone who doesn't get physics and talks about overunity devices or buys those several hundred dollar scam electric space heaters. I know but am not an expert of: cars refrigeration some computer hardware soldering building wiring how to terminate an ethernet cable without a crimper I don't watch/listen to podcasts very much, I have seen a few KH episodes and like them, but what I like most is this G+ group. You al come up with some interesting ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
