Diesel engines are also more efficient.

Nearly 40% of shipping volume worldwide is moving fossil fuels (coal, oil, gaz). The easiest way to reduce drastically shipping emission is reducing usage of fossil fuels...

That's... not what's being discussed, though?

We're talking about whether the shipping industry will choose to improve how their ships operate, but you're talking about new powerplants on land would remove the need to even have those/as-many ships at all.

And electric motors are way more efficient than ICE motors that hardly reach 40% efficiency.

They didn't wait for their parents to tell - they figured out with their friends.

I can confirm. I didn't know the story and I picked up that book randomly in a book store a couple years ago. I loved it.

Very neat! I'm hydrodynamics by background and I wondered a long time ago why this kind of approach was not used as I always found ocean waves to look awful in movies. Once you describe ocean sea state in frequency domain, it is quite easy to give to floating objects like ships realistic motions using what we called RAO in this field (linear operator). You can also model sea disturbance (diffracted and radiated waves) caused by an object in a similar fashion.

I visited conservatoire des arts et metiers museum in Paris a couple years ago. It is full of fascinating scientific devices from the past. Among then was the timbre analyser. I was blown away. A purely analogic spectrum analyser.

In France at least, more and more stations require pre-paying at the counter, especially stations in big cities.

The problem with this line of thinking in my opinion is that we have 30x3% problems... sure individually they would not make a difference but we need to act on all front.
