I am just kidding you. Saturday night, blowing up the world, I could not enjoy anything more. I only wish I had the talent to delve into these things. I am so desperate to change careers. I love these technical things. I would like to take up technical writing if there is any market for it or I should say I could find a job. I like people with the ability to explain very complicated things, real or imagined, in a way that makes them clear and seem so possible. I like reading about nuclear submarines, for instance.

Yeah, me too. I got to delve into the "Way Things Work, Volume 2" (1967) as a way to plausible explainng the use of fusion to run my vehicles for the Project. In my game, prior to the conversion to fusion in 1987, we used small gas turbine engines to drive a generator to power the batteries (and motors if need be) to run our hybrid vehicles during the early era from 1962 to 1987. The purpose of fusion is to keep the game from turning into "fuel trek" to keep the vehicles and generators running and instead to focus on our mission to help the survivors if they need it, survive ourselves and rebuild America if we can.

Very cool :) Fusion is used in mine although only for large vehicles. Mechs and tanks and APCs and other small vehicles use air-independant turbine systems.

It is so interesting to think of ordinary people moving through their everyday lives dealing with their obstacles but thinking very intriguing life and death thoughts. Devising ways to survive the worst. Sometimes I think we'll be a Mad Max movie.
