Out of "jail" and translating.

Thanks to all who send cake. <<G>>

<<Wegen der hohen Leistungsaufnahme beim Start ist der Motor allerdings durch fingerdicke Kupferkabel mit der Batterie verbunden, und das Steuergerät beansprucht den Platz eines Schuhkartons. Wie für Turbinen mit hohem Wirkungsgrad üblich, ist das Turbinenrad vergleichsweise winzig. Die Welle dreht sich in dauergeschmierten
Keramik-Kugellagern. >>

Due to the high usage of electrical current while starting, the motor is connected with fingerthick copper cables>> (meaning thicker than usual) <<to the battery and the control unit uses the space of a shoe carton. As it is usual for turbines with a high degree of efficency, the turbine wheel is very small. The axle is turning in constantly lubricated ceramic ball bearings.>>

Please just don't ask me to translate the whole article now.
Hope to have been of assistance to my fellow longs.

BTW there is a post on a German board that they are expecting ALD to release news about the TRBD deal tomorrow.
