Future electric oil

Duty cycle. Operate within it and it womt burn up.

We can calculate motor heating based on current. I2c loss

Hydraulics are here to stay. Mega mining equipment has ran on electric motors for decades. But they still use hydraulics to move the boom. Linear actuators aren’t even close to as good as hydraulics.

The electric motor in a tesla is a fraction of the size of its industrial hp rated counterpart

A 2 liter turbo V6 can make the same power as a 3406 cat. But the cat does it for a million miles.

Not really the same comparison

Linear actuators are typically not 100% duty cycle applications.

Also, vehicles rarely run at 100% rated power.

Soletrac is the future

An excavator runs the cylinders in and out basically the entire time it’s running. Maybe not at 100 percent capacity but digging virgin dirt out of a bank and loading trucks isn’t easy work either. Plenty of other equipment works the hydraulic hard. Vehicles not running at 100 percent power was kinda the point. I’m sure a Tesla motor works fine in a Tesla but it’s not going in a rock crusher anytime soon.

I can't understand how anyone can think the future is going to be electric. In the last 3 years our electricity has been off at least 4 times. We constantly hear of states talking about brown outs and warning the power will go out. Remember Texas a few years ago? Cold weather and then the power goes out and then Disaster.

The cleanest burning fuel has always been Natural Gas. I never ever expected the Gov to attack NG. Why would I trust anyone who wants to ban the cheapest and cleanest fuel we have? You better hope we never go full electric!
