Then the next best option would be to use a pump, keeping a large tank air tight sealed would be very unrelaible especially in an earthquake prone location and the tropical climate won't help much either. I use a 12v pump at my workshop, I have an old oil burner and use it to heat up water and...

Sealing water pressure is a lot easier than sealing air pressure, especially when mixing air and water together, adding a hot country it's very prone to fail.

But its using gravity to pressurised the system. If yous start adding compressed air to a tank it's entirely different

As someone stated, simplicity is going to make it cheaper and less problematic with reliability. Pressureising a system would require seals that probably won't last long being always under pressure waiting for the blackouts. A water tower is extremely simple and efficient. Doesnt require any...

If both are traveling at the same velocity in any direction then time will be slowed down the same for both, so they would see each others clocks staying the same. time has slowed equally for both.

He would need to increase torque by 80% (~410 times) to achieve 515rpm with a 20% reduction in torque

How about you as an observer, traveling at the speed of light? What happens to your frame of reference?

Well that is what I was getting at, there is no time for photons, they are instantaneous in there own right, they do not use or create energy just transmit it. Therefore they do not exist in time from there POV.

Yes sorry I know that I was referring to all of the EM spectrum as "light" to simplify it. Also all EM waves travel at c, the propagation of an em wave through a medium doesn't slow the wave down. It absorbs the wave and then re-emits it? It hasn't slowed down in a sense

I don't think you can - the output torque will be 515 times less than input torque? You will always loose torque if you are gearing up from 1 rpm to 515rpm.

That's not what I meant, It is difficult to explain. Light is traveling at c, therefore it doesn't experience time, time has stopped - from its creation to its end would be instantaneous. I am trying to imagine what it would be like to be a photon, time would not exist or is stopped. If it has...

I have looked into this before to eliminate turbo lag off of the line. The problem i found is it almost detrimental as the benefits are very small and power consumption very high, which the engine will have to put back into the batteries through the alternator, and then add into that the weight...

You always want the weight of your engine as far back as possible to keep balance and weight down on the rear axle without lifting it up. with an engine hanging over the front axle you may need to weigh down the rear end to gain a better traction.

I have a similar question along these lines, Is it conceivable to imagine light as not existing in time as at c time is 0. And the universe observes light only because it is moving slower which allows time to pass so that it appears as if light has moved from one place to another when it hasn't...

I have always pictured the event horizon (for light) as a sort of bubble, at this point space is warped enough that light cannot escape, this is out outer circumference of the black hole but in reality all of the light and particles still spirals into a single point on the inside of the event...
