Never leave children or animals in the car, when the weather is hot

Hot weather is extremely dangerous for every person, and this causes sometimes that even children are forgotten in the car. And those sad accidents are headlights in the news. There is one thing, what is interesting, how people can forget children in the car? Are they so unseen, that parents don't even notice them? If the weather is hot, and people must drink all the time, why those children would leave in the car alone, and the same question is about pets.


When we are thinking that news, where children have left alone in the car without water or protection, we must, of course, understand that loss of the child is the bad thing. But that thing is very serious, and if the children would not want to go to the shopping center, why some adult would not leave with them? Is it easier to read about that sad news where children would leave in the car and they have died or got injuries from the Internet?


If the keys are missing and the car doors would not be open, why those persons trying to break the window. Or call somebody to make that action, if there are so little muscles, that the windows would not be broken by the hammer. Of course, losing the children is very traumatic, but if the reason is that they were left to the car, would that kind of death avoided.


And this is the question about writing about this kind of cases. When we are thinking about the feelings of the parents, we forgot how those children suffer, when they died in the hot air. Even if we think that the justice system would tolerate and understand for those people, we must remember, that this kind of things must not be made easy for those people.


Losing a child or other human life is an extremely serious thing, but sometimes I'm thinking about situations, where families are worried, that their old people would drink enough. But there are many children and handicapped people, who would not able to communicate, or who would not know about the need for the water on a hot day. And if the staff, what should care about those people don't follow the drinking, would the result be very sad and traumatic.

Forgotten solution for automobiles: Steam car

There is one solution from the past, what might be interested some techno-freaks. That thing is the car, what uses steam engines. The idea of steam-engine cars is, that it uses the steam engine and the problem is, that it was complicated to use, and the gasoline motor replaced it, when Karl Bentz and Gottlieb Daimler made the first car, what used combustion engine. 

Steam cars had the oven on the right side and the passenger must put the wood to the oven when the car was in use. There was one thing, what made the steam car able to compete with the combustion car in the early years of the automobile, and that was the ability to use wood as the fuel, but when petroleum stations became common, steam cars remained in history. 

When we are talking with the piston-engine steam cars, they were complicated to use, because the pressure in the system must be raised, before the car was able to move. And when the people wanted to drive their steam cars, they needed to follow the pressure meter all the time, and release steam from the system, if the pressure rises to a dangerously high level. 

And there must be two persons in the car because another one needed to put the wood in the oven. Otherwise, the driver must stop driving, before increasing wood. In the modern time sometimes there were talking about the ability to return the steam car to traffic because it has the capacity to use a different kind of fuels. The liquid fuel can burn in the same grate with gas, and the bottles are easy to put in the car. 

Also, the capacity to use wood makes that car an interesting choice for some people, who are living long away from civilization, but these plans have had very little volume and the planned production number was the only couple of individuals, what was planned a build for experimental purposes. But when we are thinking about the speed of the steam car, they might not quite slow, because if the piston engine would be replaced the steam turbine, what would be put to the axel like, that would go thru it. 

The speed of those cars is high. The last time when the steam turbine was planned to install serially produced car was 1960's when American car industry planned to put the turbine in the car. The steam-Wankel was planned to replace the turbine or Wankel-motor, what have rotating piston because there was no heat exhausted gas. 

Normal turbine released extremely heat exhaust gas, what could burn people. And that's why the engineers wanted to put the steam engine for the car. Making the steam would happen with oil or gasoline burner, what is used in the oil heating system. In some cases, the NASCAR or Indianapolis-formulas have planned to use turbine booster with the normal engines. When the driver needs the power to pass another car, and normal engine power would not be enough, he would release the steam to the turbine. 

The system would be like the normal cooler of the car, what is installed in the side of the motor. And when it wanted to use, the steam would be released to the turbine, what would give extra speed for that car, but these plans have remained in the papers. But the world of technology is the interesting thing, and that's why those kinds of things are nice to investigate and think, what if Karl Bentz would not have gasoline in hands when he made the first combustion engine.
