God1000: Xpeng is either run by an individual or government or certain individuals. In Nigeria, even if you are innovative to this degree, no one will even think about you except comments on media that's all. My friend told me of some students in Bauchi Polytechnic that made this engine that powers electricity with batteries. He said it can power up to 4 hours. During the project Defence people commented them and the engine was sold to someone. The money was not given to the students and no one seems to pick interest in the machine to even call them back for partnership. Is very sad. 2 Likes |

Car or drone? |

China has already advanced ahead of the US. A visit to Shanghai usually leaves Americans in shock: High Speed Trains, Completely Cashless Society, Drone Delivery (both flying & road drones), Highest Number of Electric cars on Earth. It's why the US govt is fighting hard to prevent China from attaining tech dominance in Microchips, specifically in sub-14mm chips 1 Like |

Evilblackman: Baba, stop quoting me if you cannot grasp simple concepts. All I said was that adding wings and tires to a car is hard and plain weird. I never said airplanes don’t have tires. Neither did I say anything about location, so I don't know where you got those from. That said, how could you say airplane and car tires do the same thing? They are different. The only thing they have in common is that they are made of rubber. Pilots control airplane tires using foot pedals or hand cranks, and not with the airplane's yoke (steering wheel) as car drivers do. Airplane tires don't function like regular car tires. Airplane tires are built to move an airplane in any direction at low speeds and in a single direction at high speed. Car tires are built to move a car in any direction at high and low speeds. Airplane tires are built to withstand high load for a low amount of time. Car tires are built to withstand regular pressure for a high amount of time. Airplane tires are thicker and have less threading because friction is required to be low at high speed. Car tires are lighter and have lots of threading because friction is required to be high at high and low speeds. The tires a flying car needs to land and takeoff (aka behave like an airplane) is different from what it needs to move on a regular road and behave like a car. If a manufacturer uses regular car tires on a flying car, they'd have a car that is good on road but horrible when taking off and landing. If they use aircraft-standard tires, they'd have a flying car that is good at landing and takeoff but horrible on the ground. The car would be heavy on the ground and in the air too. Many flying carmakers have tried solving this problem with little success. A few use modified car tires but those have always been inefficient. Some moved to smaller tires, like the ones used in tricycles but those ones are no better. The common trend is to invent a new category of tires altogether, like airless tires and all, but that too has been a problem. 1 Like |

God1000:Its not about knowledge building a product like that is quite easy, in fact the only problem with flying cars right now is battery problem. The issue is fund, people with the fund are not ready to risk in new tech, in fact they don't want to risk their money at on anything that is why Nigeria is broke. Most of the wealthy countries today are driven by private investors. |
