I skimmed it and didnt find much "more to the story than meets eye" about it.It's by a Chinese branch of Honda and limited to the Asian market for now. And its performance won't rip your pants off - which makes sense given the market.
Those will be square taper cranks. They can be a pain to remove, but sometimes are okay. Remove circular plastic cap and there'll be a nut down inside the crank. One side will be left hand thread, the other right hand. You'll need a socket that is very thin walled. Undoing these can be hard, but getting the cranks off the square taper is usually the more annoying part as the cranks get jammed on. I've often had to bash them off with a hammer 😅
(If you're actually going to attempt this, probs worth watching a youtube tutorial)
My dad recently picked up an automated brake light from the ALDI centre isle... so there are cheap options out there to try (and I imagine poor quality). But the tech wouldn't be too complex i wouldn't think - using an accelerometer.They've had this tech in after market brake lights for motos for a while now.
This is less to do with single-use plastics, but plastic is often a really good option from a functional POV. It doesn't conduct heat like metal, it doesn't break like glass/ceramics and has better moisture resistance than timber. (Not saying plastic couldn't be replaced a lot of the time, but some times it's a frustratingly good option).
In terms of complete single-use plastic replacement, I'm not sure, but would also be interested. I'd hope it's mostly possible.
I mean... just gonna go out on a limb here and guess that the expression exists because within the history of every book ever released, there would be some fantastic books with absolute stinkin' covers.
Yes, covers are there to help you judge a book. But if that was the only metric you used, you would miss out on some good reads.
A provis/reflective jacket and any low, wide beam light aimed at your chest.
(I actually have no idea, but the above is an idea I've thought about before. Downside is a light kinda shining in ur eyes...)
Tee Nuts are annoying coz there are also T Nuts, which are used in aluminium extrusion channels. And there's also Tea Nuts which are nuts you put in tea if you are low on iron.
What's the patentable part of it?
