Anyone good at Maths?

I live in Birmingham 5 miles from Solihull where my 90,000 miles on the clock Landy was born.

I reckon Mr Beardy Green, the Toyota Prius **** has a higher carbon footprint getting his rubbish on a ship to the UK before he even get's to drive it a mile...

It's a long way by sea... how much doosel did that burn???

 

[RAZ8550TDI]

give us the size of the engine(S) on the boat,
the weight of the boat fully loaded,
the weather conditions that day,
direction of wind,
the resulting force against the water alone,
tidal information,
speed,
distance,
and also the info from the return journey aswell and ill have a pop by all means! ;-)

 

[RAZ8550TDI]

infact heres one for you, have a look into how much energy is made to create the batteries for the prius, the toxins in them, and what it takes to dispose of them!

sorry but know nothing about ships engins... but i imagine they're bigger than my house and there are a few of them...
God knows how much a ship weighs
Dont know anything about tides or wind
I know it's a long way to Japan and back

In fact I cant offer you any information for this equation at all, other than my landy is 5 miles from it's birthplace and it done 90,000 on the way home!

a steam turbine container ship will burn 49 tons of fuel per day

 

[battenberg]

can a prius do 90,000 miles without its batteries getting clapped out??

 

[RAZ8550TDI]

is that from japan? or just any random trip?

whoa...

right, how many sailing days from Slitty land then??

 

[G-man]

avarage trip,

 

[RAZ8550TDI]

haha bit randome that one g man! come on we want specifics!!!

 

[battenberg]

is that 49 tonnes of Diesel?

ie 49,000 litres a day

 

[RAZ8550TDI]

yer cause thats green! ships are coverted to run on bio these days though yanno.

 

[RAZ8550TDI]

we must find out what ration veggie they use and if they pour any thinners in there also??? do they start up ok in the winter cold mornings???

 

[battenberg]

right then what's 49,000 litres of Doosel at 28miles per gallon

 

[G-man]

most container ships run on 'bunker' (essentialy tar) which is constantly heated to stop it turning solid how far is it from japan to GB via the sea?

 

[battenberg]

dunno, no idea ? via the panama canal... 15,000 miles???

 

[RAZ8550TDI]

lets fook this off, but yer i totally agree with your point,!

 

[G-man]

15,000miles at say 20mph thats 31.25 days 49,000l per day thats 1,531,250l of fuel, no hang on thats wrong 1000l of water weighs a ton the fuel would be heavier so its 1531.25 tons of fuel

 

[RAZ8550TDI]

feck me, all that so some tit heads can do there bit to feel better about themselfs?

wtf are you on?? fuel heavier!!! not on this planet, oil floats,

The density of No. 2 diesel fuel is 850 grams/litre.. fook nose how heavy boat fuel is

dint they teach yer nowt at school and while yer at it, yerd have to find out how many items, cars etc whur being shipped and divide yer total by that number.
yer need to go back and start again young man and don't come back till yer get it right
