The first is that the turbines become less efficient over time as a result
of mechanical wear and tear, erosion of the turbine blades and related factors.
The company has achieved a breakthrough for the U.S. Army that is delivering a first - of - its - kind replacement coating solution for hard chrome and conventional plating processes that are considered environmental hazards, with a new coating with excellent corrosion protection (besting thick and thin hard chrome and all conventional wet plating processes) while simultaneously achieving 20X
improved mechanical wear.
A new, special coating prevents the locking bolt from rusting when not in use for a long period and non-contact position monitoring
avoids mechanical wear...
I can imagine (and please correct me if this is not possible) that the AFM provides invalid or slightly skewed readings to the ECU (Engine Control Unit) at certain RPMs due to
mechanical wear and other issues.
There is a lifetime warranty on the battery with two big asterisks: original owner only, and it covers cell failures or
mechanical wear but excludes battery degradation, which is the major reason some owners have to replace $ 2,500 - plus battery packs after 5-8-10 years.
