The Dumbness of Oneness

[SJPONeill]

The DoD Energy Blog had a story about using nuclear energy to make hydrogen to power Strykers...

That said, the SFC uses JP8 to power everything. In reality, almost everything would run off diesel fuel, which is more energy dense. But then I hear that fuel is graded and best of it is used in aircraft anyway.

So the SFC might be best divided into ground and air fuels.

What's 'SFC'? I looked it up and could only find 'Sergeant First Class' which as we know probably does run most of the military but not too sure how it might fit into fuels management.

As soon as you start grading fuels, you could argue that it actually better to have different types so that there is a lesser chance that someone would accidentally top up with the wrong grade. This is obviously pretty key in the aviation world as it is a lot harder to fly than it is to walk when the engine cuts out...

Will check out the DoD Energy Blog re the hydrogen fueling - sounds interesting but probably from an Army After Next POV...
