The cubing argument thread

[Porcupine01]

From my understanding, regenerative breaking applies to hybrid and electric cars. When you hit the brakes, you are using breaking pads which basically hold onto a part of the wheel to prevent it from turning.

Correct about the brake pads, not sure that it regenerates

Do you know of any gas cars that have regenerative breaking?

nope....

nope....

IT DOES REGENERATE
I can show u, next time we drive. Our car shows a charge sign when it regenerates.

That's what I'm trying to say, gas cars use brake pads, and so they don't regenerate.

What car is that?

Is a smart cube even worth it? It's literally just a cube with an app helping you get faster, you can do that anywhere, with any cube.

Ok, make a google drive video and share it with me in our private company.

it is much more than that.

GLC 300

Awesome

yes, will be picking up the daily:

you car battery would not die while driving bc it gains energy when you drive.

Not really true. A battery can die while the car is driving. The alternator charges the battery while you are driving (and also powers most of cars electricals, not the battery as you said below) a faulty alternator can cause the battery to die, especially if the car has a faulty ground or other leak.

yea, but only if it is broken.

Yes, but wasn't the whole conversation a hypothetical anyway? Plus, a faulty alternator is a pretty common problem . I think I have had to replace mine in every older vehicle I have owned

Welcome to the car battery argument thread

 

[SH03L4C3]

out of all of the cars my parents had in the last 11 years, this was never a problem

Got the Pizzas!

Notice where it says "Charge"
It will turn green when regenerating

If you want even more data, Here is a before/after of the voltage:
After(14.8V): Before(13.9V): Do notice where it says Voltage at the bottom left.

Now... Who wants Hawaiian?

How fortunate! Alternator repair is a very common fix regardless of make and model once mileage is over 100k

Not really true. A battery can die while the car is driving. The alternator charges the battery while you are driving (and also powers most of cars electricals, not the battery as you said below) a faulty alternator can cause the battery to die, especially if the car has a faulty ground or other leak.

Lol you got a fancy car there an all that technology is apparently keeping you from understanding the fundamental mechanics of how your battery and alternator interact. I’m with @ender994 on this one

 

[SH03L4C3]

but back to the argument, considering the car is in good condition, smart cubes are still not a good idea

What do you guys think the best method for OH is?
