Soon, the number of people formally trained in the thermodynamics of Carnot heat engines, who could tackle drawing the temperature/entrophy graph of Smokie’s hot vapor engine mods, will be vanishingly small, like the veterans of D-Day on TV yesterday.
Gotta erase this from my thoughts,
or I will feel sad all day.
On the other hand a new crop of graduate students are being routinely assigned each year to draw the T/S graphs of the region around “Black Holes” in space, and it is doubtful a single correct one has been drawn yet.
“All we are is dust in the wind”
I went go kart racing with the "kids" from work at Christmas. Some of them race short tracks around here and consider themselves fairly knowledgeable about racing. I mentioned Smokey and none of them had heard of him. I pointed them to The Google and told them to learn a thing or two. The next day in the office that was all they wanted to talk about. That history is slowly disappearing.
