            </div><p>Most people know that a Tesla runs on electricity. Very few people know what that actually means and what&rsquo;s physically happening the moment you press the accelerator, what&rsquo;s moving where, and why a chemical reaction inside a sealed metal pack is what gets you from 0 to 60 in seconds.</p>
<p>This is the real story of how a Tesla moves. From the moment an electron is born, to the instant it spins a motor and pushes you back in your seat.</p>]]></description></item><item><title>The SpaceX Engine That Produces Less Thrust Than a Coin Pressing on Your Palm</title><link>https://leewynne.com/posts/spacex-engine-less-thrust-than-coin/</link><pubDate>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 10:03:00 +0000</pubDate><author>Lee Wynne</author><guid>https://leewynne.com/posts/spacex-engine-less-thrust-than-coin/</guid><description><![CDATA[<div class="featured-image">

            </div><p>The @SpaceX Propulsion Story Nobody Is Talking About..</p>
<p>SpaceX operates two fundamentally different propulsion philosophies across its fleet and most fans don&rsquo;t fully appreciate just how wild the engineering gap between them is.</p>
<p>On one side, you have Dragon&rsquo;s Draco engines: sixteen fire-breathing chemical thrusters that ignite on contact and punch the capsule around low Earth orbit with brute force. On the other, you have over 7,000 Starlink satellites, each gliding through space on a whisper of ionized gas, producing less thrust than the weight of a coin and somehow, that&rsquo;s enough.</p>]]></description></item></channel></rss>
