(laughs) We don't have grades here. A student either learns and gets an "L" or they fluctuate in their learning.

And what do we get for that?

An "F".

Using fewer engine worse, more engine better.

I think the point being made is that this kind if intelligence is, well, artificial.

Yeah no worries, I’m with you on the shrouded part.

Shrouded makes sense. A turbofan relies on combustion though as I understand it so not sure that could be replicated with electric only. Could be some way to get more power / efficiency out of electric only systems that has yet to be invented but electric is already more efficient than IC engines (and I would have to think jet propulsion) so we’re already ahead just by going electric.

Well I’m not here to convince anyone but it does state that from what I read, as well as saying the nickel foil cools from the inside somehow vs outside, as is the usual approach, so it is fundamentally different at least.

Would think so. Not silent though. Assuming we’re talking propeller driven aircraft (don’t see how jet propulsion could be electrified?) it would sound like a bigger lower buzzy drone sound I imagine.

Sounds like a key breakthrough is the nickel foil, which self regulates the temp and reactivity of the battery.
