Any scientists on here care to explain in simple terms how 1 litre of anything ( 1 litre of most liquids is about 1 kg ) can produce 2.4 kgs of gas?
I think they're talking of the emissions per litre used, which would include the air added to the process.
Happy to defer to you on this, I’m no scientist. But it’s quoted from the 2nd link in post 170, again I cannot say how accurate this is. Either way it suggests that F1 is massively carbon neutral. I get that F1 is looking to go ‘carbon neutral’ in 2030, but this seems to be direct carbon footprint, not indirect as I have described in post 170.
Get your head around these Complete combustion of hydrocarbons... examples... https://socratic.org/questions/what-is-the-chemical-equation-for-the-combustion-of-c-3h-6 https://socratic.org/questions/how-...of-grams-of-each-substance-used-or-produced-w https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news...et,be counterbalanced by carbon sequestration.
It's only looking at direct emissions, and seems to take no account of the construction, which being carbon fibre would be significant, and the impact of the track build, spectators, testing etc would be greater than the numbers quote by orders of magnitude. Interestingly, a better argument could be that the announcement that petrol is to be phased out has actually added to the carbon footprint, as research into improvements is now no longer viable.
Ah now I see, so if you have 1 litre of piss, nasty horrible stuff and throw it into an Olympic sized swimming pool you now have about 2.5 million litres of nasty horrible pissy water. Adds a certain gravitas to the story.
I am quite thick so I might get this wrong, sorry if that is the case. In order to convert fuel into energy you have to add oxygen. The gas produced is two units of carbon to one unit of oxygen. All gas weighs something. Adding the oxygen to the carbon makes it weigh more. There are always the same amount of atoms on the earth. Just in different combinations., so when you burn something you simply release the atoms from one combination into another, some combinations weigh more than others.
Maybe those prominent MPs should get on with doing their job rather than playing to the gallery?? Right time? How long had it been the right time for Ray Clemence to get a knighthood? how about Jimmy Greaves or Roger Hunt?
Henry Winter @henrywinter My top six greatest English sportsmen ever (no particular order): Bobby Charlton, Lewis Hamilton, Steve Redgrave, Jimmy Anderson, Jonny Wilkinson and Seb Coe.
Well hopefully HM Queen Elizabeth II will afford Sir Lewis the good grace of going down on one knee whilst Knighting him...Be rude not too!!
I suppose he could have earned an award for bringing unity to the nation in these troubled times, because looking around a variety of forums and social media sites, and the very strong consensus is that he's a total bell end.
A lot of English plastic sportsfans with low self-esteem seem to want to identify with a winner at all costs.
The irony of 90,000 visitors to COP26, many of whom will have taken flights to get there, is a much bigger indignity that an F1 season of travel (minus the fans of course). Estimate 70 people per team x 10 teams x 20 races = 14,000 flights in 1 year plus pre-season practice so round it up to 20,000. As said above F1 technology also ends up benefiting production car technologies - aerodynamics, engine efficiency, telemetry, KERS etc.
