Can You Replace A Diesel Engine with Electric Ones?

Certainly! Converting a diesel engine vehicle into an electric one is technically feasible and has become increasingly popular. Here are some key points:

Bus Conversions:

In Germany, local firms specialize in converting regular buses into electric ones. The process involves removing the diesel engine and installing an electric motor and batteries.

The cost of converting a regular bus is roughly half that of buying a new electric bus.

Electric buses are in demand due to the EU’s Clean Vehicles Directive, which pushes for battery-powered buses in urban transport.

Car Conversions:

Swapping out combustion engines for electric motors is technically possible for all cars.

The process includes removing the old engine and gearbox to make way for the electric components.

Engineers develop specific electric steering systems for each car.

Economic and Environmental Benefits:

Converting vehicles to electric power can be economically viable.

It reduces maintenance costs and contributes to decarbonization efforts.

Declining battery prices and mass production make conversions more attractive.

Challenges:

The weight of batteries needed to match diesel energy output can be substantial.

However, for buses and certain vehicles, the benefits often outweigh the challenges.

In summary, while converting diesel vehicles to electric ones is technically complex, it offers economic savings, environmental benefits, and contributes to a greener future. 🚗⚡

Flowing Springs

The LORD made rivers dry up completely
and stopped springs from flowing.
34 He made rich soil become a salty wasteland
because of the wickedness of those who lived there.
35 He changed deserts into pools of water
and dry land into flowing springs.
36 He let hungry people settle there,
and they built a city to live in.
37 They sowed the fields and planted grapevines
and reaped an abundant harvest.

Psalms 107:33-37

From a dessert to flowing springs

The Message

It’s summer time in our place and our whole country is experiencing extreme heat because of climate change. It feels like 44 to 45C (37C is slight fever), and we are literally ‘baking.’

This video shows that we can do something about it. God gave us dominion over earth, and we have to do something to fix the mess we got into for it is our responsibility, and in order to survive. I am doing my part by installing the Ecosia web browser (https://www.ecosia.org/), which plants a tree for every search we make, and it made a difference even in a small way. In order to alleviate this monstrous problem, we need to make some sacrifices like giving our time to raise awareness and share our solutions with others.

Right now, I am studying “Permaculture design”, which would really help our environment and ourselves in this severe temperatures. Every day students don’t go to school because of the heat, and they are suffering. I am deeply burdened about this and so I am doing a small part in order to help others.

I pray and hope that people will ‘wake-up’ and see the devastation brought by climate change, and do something about it like finding practical ways to clean-up plastic pollution, or saving electricity by turning off aircons when not being used, or planting a tree daily, or car-pooling instead of driving alone in a car, or self-regulation of our consumption by consuming less of everything (which also saves money and helping banks by earning interest), or buying only what we need by not hoarding, or sharing surplus to the less fortunate, or donating to charitable organizations like the Red Cross (https://www.icrc.org/en) by providing people in countries experiencing drought and flooding.

Please share these practical ideas with others and doing it collectively, and we will see significant improvement in our daily lives. Together, we will experience the flowing springs of blessings, and reap an abundant harvest (a strong and good economy of our nation).

Green Pasture

It’s good to have a vacation and enjoy life for a while, but we all know that it doesn’t give rest for our souls. We are bombarded by evil thoughts, and so we quarrel with others. Before you know it, the world is a toxic place to live in. So, where could we find green pasture to rest on? Watch this video to find out!

Roads

Using Horses to Deliver Humanitarian Aid

Fuel is getting more expensive every day, and we need to deliver crucial, much-needed aid to refugees in remote places. Sometimes, road vehicles are not passable due to hurricane disasters, and so horses are ideal offroad transportation of goods. Horses can travel to long distances and on different terrains that is why horses are crucial for their survival.

Question: Can horses travel to long distances?

Answer: Yes, horses are capable of traveling long distances. They have historically been used as a means of transportation for humans across vast distances. Horses have the natural ability to cover long distances at a steady pace, making them well-suited for travel over varied terrains.

Here are some key points about horses and long-distance travel:

Endurance: Horses have excellent endurance, which allows them to travel for extended periods without getting overly fatigued. They are built for sustained movement and can maintain a steady gait for many miles.

Speed: Horses can cover ground relatively quickly, depending on their breed, training, and fitness level. Some horse breeds, such as the Arabian horse, are known for their speed and agility.

Training: Proper training is essential for long-distance travel with horses. They need to be gradually conditioned to build up their stamina and fitness levels. Training should include regular exercise, conditioning rides, and gradually increasing the distance traveled over time.

Care and Rest: During long-distance travel, it is crucial to provide horses with proper care and rest. Regular breaks should be taken to allow the horse to rest, hydrate, and graze. Adequate nutrition, hydration, and hoof care are essential for the horse’s well-being during the journey.

Navigation: When traveling long distances with horses, it is important to plan the route carefully, considering factors such as available water sources, suitable resting places, and safe trails or roads. Maps, GPS devices, or local knowledge can be helpful for navigation.

Equipment: Horses used for long-distance travel typically require specialized equipment such as endurance saddles, saddlebags for carrying supplies, and protective boots to prevent injuries. Properly fitting tack and equipment are necessary to ensure the horse’s comfort and health.

Health Considerations: Regular veterinary check-ups and vaccinations are important to ensure the horse’s health during long-distance travel. Monitoring for signs of fatigue, lameness, or injury is crucial, and riders should be prepared to make adjustments or seek veterinary care if needed.

Overall, horses have a natural ability to travel long distances, and with proper training, care, and planning, they can be reliable companions for extended journeys.

Airships For Emergency Relief

Can You Use An Airship Zeppelin For Food Delivery?

Yes, airship zeppelins can be used for delivery. They have the potential to transport cargo to remote and hard-to-reach areas. Here are some points about using airship zeppelins for delivery:

• Airships can carry a significant amount of cargo, with some models capable of transporting up to 60 tons of cargo.
• They can be used for middle-mile delivery, which involves transporting cargo between distribution centers or warehouses.
• Airships do not require traditional runways, making them a practical option for delivering supplies to remote locations.
• Autonomous airships are being developed to enable drone delivery in remote areas, with greater payloads and longer range.
• Airships have been used in the past for delivering mail and other goods, such as the Graf Zeppelin which made regularly scheduled deliveries in the 1930s.
• Research is being conducted to explore the use of larger airships to lower shipping emissions and make delivery more environmentally friendly.

Please note that the availability and use of airship zeppelins for delivery may vary depending on specific circumstances and technological advancements.

Warning Signs

Let’s say you were driving on the freeway and were on your way to cross a large bridge spanning a raging river. Suddenly you saw a big sign that read, “WARNING: Bridge out. Use alternate exit.”
But you were determined, so you sped up toward that bridge. As you got closer, you saw more signs: “Do not enter”; “DANGER”; and “Bridge out.” Still, you sped on. As you got even closer, you saw police cars with lights flashing and officers waving and yelling for you to turn back. Yet you sped on until you broke through those barriers and went off the top of that bridge into a watery grave. Now, whose fault was it that you died? Was it the fault of the construction crew? Was it the fault of the police officers? No, it was your own fault because you ignored the warnings.

ESSENTIALS 2 BY GREG LAURIE

The Future Of Mass Transport Are Trucks

Nowadays, we are finding ways to save gasoline, and the most common gas consuming device for transportation are motorcycles, cars and buses. To save gasoline, you must transport more people in one go. Therefore, the solution must be bigger vehicles with bigger capacities for passengers. The solution must be less expensive and efficient. The solution is non other than trucks, large ten-wheeler trucks.

When you see a truck pass by, what do you see? Lots of cargo and goods being transported. But, what if you change the cargo container into seats for passengers instead of goods? Then, you could bring more people with less gas! All we have to do is convert the cargo space for passengers, similar to trains because of its large capacities.

I believe this is a viable and economical way to save petrol in order for people to move faster and safely. Trucks could be the better way to move people in another location with less cost because of higher savings. Now, in order to achieve this we need designers and engineers to design trucks for passengers.

Praise God!

Wind Energy Will Bring Down Prices Of All Goods

Wind Energy Will Bring Down Prices Of All Goods

We must be aggressive like the Germans on having offshore wind energy because I believe this will bring down inflation rapidly. Why? The reason why prices of goods are rising because of oil and gas prices. We all know that transportation of goods are dependent on gas prices because all trucks, railway, ships, planes and cars are gas-powered vehicles. If we shift from gas to electric vehicles, this will bring down the cost of goods being reliant on wind energy which is ‘free’ energy! However, there are challenges.

The challenges are lack of skilled workers, expansion of factories on producing more wind turbines for offshore, and of course investments. We need to act fast on investing on these proven, reliable, and effective solution on reduction of oil dependence. Another challenge is mostly political and approval of licenses to these manufacturers.

Offshore Wind Energy is not a pipe dream but a reality. We must know that wind energy is cost-effective, reliable, and clean source of electricity not only for businesses but for the entire economic activity that will bring down prices and lessen protests and strikes from workers, reduction of carbon emissions, for the environment for our children’s children. We need to change our minds regarding renewable energy that are proven, efficient, and more investment means lower costs because of demand and supply. Wind energy will also strengthen the electric grid against wars in Europe, and other countries. Being sustainable and self-reliant on energy means more cash in our pockets.

We must not wait but act as if our present depends on it. Our very existence on a fragile Earth being destroyed by fossil fuels, and carbon emissions. Destruction of natural resources and marine ecosystems because of oil spills. We must wake up people from leaders to individuals who need a secure financial system because of prices of goods and services. I believe that Green Energy will help us achieve lower prices from food, basic necessities to all products that will enhance and make our lives richer and enjoyable.

The future is now!

Ready-made Home Vans

Transform your van into a home!

I know transforming a van into something like this is not easy. So, I hope we could buy a ready-made mobile home or maybe a service that can transform a regular, used van into a home.

The big advantage is when you need to relocate because of flooding in your area, you will need a place to stay, and a mobile home is a cheaper option.

Another reason is to save money on gasoline when going to your work. You can just park your van and rest. Then, there is no need for a long commute.

Abra Earthquake July 27, 2022

A powerful earthquake struck northern Luzon about 200 miles from Manila. It happened in the morning when suddenly I felt like dizzy. I looked at the chandelier and it was rocking back and forth. I yelled “earthquake” at my dad and he saw it happened.

I could remember I published an article predicting a powerful earthquake will strike our place before. It was September 27, 2021, 1AM when I felt a jolt while working. God told me back then it was a warning. And, of course it happened in Abra today, July 27, 2022. It’s clear that it’s not a coincidence.

Earthquake Warning Sign

Now, I am waiting for the earthquake to strike Manila, the big one.

Incidentally, I would like to advise the government to bring big ships to evacuate the people stranded there (take note of a coming tropical storm). They may also use Google Maps to determine what roads are not passable. Rescue teams from Red Cross is always there to help and others. I hope they have internet and sms for people who want to contact their relatives as refuge. Churches must also open their temples for them (I hope).
