random question.

is there any minimal lighting inside the cabs? they have no power source correct?

The roasting, cooking, drowning, etc. jokes are getting old and stupid.

Right? How many times can you tell the same joke and be amused at yourself?

The DO have a power source, there is a battery on the roof of the car. It's not clear what it will power, but lighting is surely possible.

Anyone seen a built-in little solar panel on top?

Here we go again.

All these electrical power jokes are getting pretty old.

But very few houses in FL are constantly moving at 11.2 mph.

Well in a hurricane they can move faster;-)

The batteries aren’t charged by solar panels. There are copper charging rails in the stations.

So recharged every time they pass through a station?

OK Thanks!

I would think charge overnight when docked at the stations. Kinda like golf carts.

I think it remains to be seen whether cabins are returned to a main station or left on the lines

I’d imagine the lights to be LED and thus they won’t use much power at all. Station charges during load and unload may be enough time to keep everything going!?

I don't think they will be returned to the main station every night. There is no practical reason to do this and it would take time which means $$.
I didn't get the impression there are even charging rails in the main station where they all get parked. It is not protected from the weather and exposed copper rails doesn't seem like a good idea.

No, capacitor recharged at every station pass-through.

Obviously the morons are easily amused. Oops did I say that out loud?

Picture? The only box I saw on top last week was door mechanism. Granted I could not get as close as I wanted to.

Left on line like they are now.

I see you've had a peek in the gondola convection oven section of the cookbook (To Serve Man). In part it states that "...gondolas should move at 5.006848 meters per second to achieve medium rare consistency so that the meat is most tender, juicy, and flavorful."

 

[NormC]

Another idiotic post.

Actually, many do.



Until they're set up at the mobile home park.
