Why Fly or Drive When You Can Cycle?

Lastly, the Saudi Vision 2030 plan implies that the world just doesn't need
as much oil as it used to.

There's no reason to drive or fly around when you can cycle.

And if anyone can cycle from JFK to LHR, it'll be one of the usual
suspects here (as long as sufficient vindaloo and beer can be obtained
along the way).

Posting stuff like that will cause it to happen.

I'd like to see the hedges between fields in the UK in person. Supposedly they have their own eco systems. Maybe a real thatched roof would be interesting too. I was discussing thatched roofs with an Irish woman and I told her if she tried a thatched roof in SoCal it would be treated as an act of terrorism.

But I can't really justify blowing my sub Sir Issac Newton carbon footprint just to sit in a hedge or inspect a roof.

I can watch the birds come and go from my armchair.

A high tech version of the Caloric Ship by Ericsson could use partial pyrolysis at sea dumping bio char overboard.

This would result in overseas travel with a _negative_ carbon footprint.

The problem with the early air engines was they didn't have the precision machining ability for the highly convoluted surfaces necessary for heat transfer. The Swedish kockums stirling relies on hundreds of bar pressure. This is not the cheapest way to go for heat transfer, especially if the goal is low temperature biochar.

Pistons should not be circular but have dozens of fins that ride in slots in the cylinder walls. This is possible now.

Not sure about the Atlantic but there are areas in the Pacific where you could harvest tons of plastic and other trash and burn that for fuel.

Forever.

So still no mention of how you cycle across the Atlantic.

There is a guy from my home city who is travelling from Chile to Hull, UK with no motors involved or sea crossings.
