Flint & QuantumByte

Hey, ever thought about how quantum tunneling could make an engine run smoother without extra fuel? I could see a prototype that might cut weight and boost torque.

Nice thought, but remember tunneling is a probability event, not a conveyor belt. You’ll still need a lot of energy to get enough particles to “pass through” and produce useful work. Plus, the engine’s friction will still eat up the gains. In short, it’s a neat idea for a thought experiment, but the physics still keeps the fuel on the table.

Right, the math doesn’t let you cheat the system. Maybe focus on better combustion and low‑friction components instead of quantum tricks. Keeps the work on the road.

Yeah, combustion's still the heavy‑handed hero, not the quantum wizard. Low‑friction parts? Those are the good old mechanics you can actually buy off a shelf. Just keep the qubits for the coffee machine, not the engine.

Got it. Use a decent low‑friction bearing set, tweak the timing, and keep the fuel clean. That’ll shave a few percent off the drag, no magic needed.

Nice plan, but those bearings will only help if the rest of the system stays linear. Timing’s a good start, just don’t let the fuel become a philosophical question.
