How exactly do you believe we have “measured” those Co2 levels ...or the rate of change ? Science. ... remember, we have only been able to accurately measure atmospheric CO2 since the 1950’s And we can use the same measurements on air entrapped in ice cores going back thousands of years. Odd ?... i...

how about if i put a bit of the glue on the sctraches wouldn't it prevent the rust?

Nope. Those cans are already as thin as humanly possible; any deep scratches and they will be very close to failure/leaking.

???... having trouble organising your thought now bill ??

Nope. Not much of a conspiracy theorist. Occam's Razor and all that.

A solution will be found to provide sufficient levels of power locally such that rediculous ideas like this are never needed. And its only a matter of time until this whole CO2 hoax will revealed . . . Yes, that's the ticket. The supposed moon landing, the CO2 hoax, the so-called Kennedy assassinat...

So, what if you could steer ghe rear wheels so that the front could run in line with either of them?

Do something like Steve Roberts did. Build a two wheel bike like normal. Then have outrigger wheels you can drop when you need more stability.

Mind you none of this is impossible to do, it's just very expensive. At the moment we are literally burying our heads to the problems we have with waste. Things are much better than they were 30 years ago, which people take to be an improvement. In reality it was atrocious 30 years ago and is reall...

Take this one to the bank bill....
IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN !

Love it! You will join a long line of people saying such things. It's fun to watch such people proven wrong by technology.

AND all that is before you think about the conversion efficiency of a hydrogen generator or the costs/ practicalities of a plant on that scale ! ====================================== Magnet doubles hydrogen yield from water splitting Aligning the spin states of oxygen intermediates overcomes a bot...

I wished they would setup a power plant that would burn plastic. that is a complex problem with plastic types and scrubbers but we need to do something. for years been trying to break my plastic addiction it is hard most things come in plastic. To do that you'd need to sort it and clean it. And if ...

How exactly would a country like Australia that cannot even generate sufficient RE power to provide 20% of its own electricity demand, ever be able to generate enough RE power to manufacture hydrogen to power even a fraction of Japans 4 times larger electricity requirement ? Because you don't have ...

It is meant to be able to be moved around if need be . . This is so the packs can be mounted vertically on a wall. I am also building a box for all of them and the batrium. The box is painted with intumescent paint which is supposed to form a foam barrier and be at the very least a fire retardant i...

Ah ok. Didn't think about that. I need let's say 2A for all connected devices. The power supply will be able of let's say 4A. Make sure it's really 4A. Many supplies rated for 4A will put out 7-8A if you pull them below their voltage setpoint, then either shut down or current limit and get hot. May...

Feeding the devices and the BMS with the same power line at the same time shouldn't cause any issues i guess, as it's a common charge and discharge port. This works as long as the current from the supply is limited to under the max charge rate of the battery, and as long as the load can operate at ...

Been searching ES for a thread about using EVs to power a home during a black out. Would like to use some of that coal power in my E-car and E-bikes batteries to run my fridge when the extra thousands of people that moved to town try to use the limited power we have and the lights go out. Few ways ...

3400 pure electric cars this year won't bring swedens electric grid down.. Maybe when all cars are electric and if we don't adjust the capacity the coming ten years. That bloomberg article is mostly based on "what if" assumptions so not really interesting or factual. Thought they were credible. Yep...

I'm with your arguements, but your heavily exaggerating. It's really not the case that batteries will just fail from one day to the other just because they are kept in a charged state. They will loose capacity. Right. And you will never see the gradual decline until you need it one day - and it won...

Battery life is not really a concern.

If you don't mind finding out your batteries are shot when power goes out - then you don't need a UPS.

Granted, it's pretty quiet as it is, but of course we have to pursue perfection for some stupid reason, right? Why would that make it quieter? Statorade fills in a little bit of the area between stator and rotor, but those aren't structures that touch anyway. And there's not enough to damp resonanc...

Use LiFePO4. They don't mind staying at close to full charge all the time.

My tower will not 50m so I estimate near 700w average, about 6MWh/year

I get 200w average, assuming 8mph wind average.

Tower minimum height is going to be 12.5 meters plus the height of the tallest object within 200 meters of the turbine.

Summer is here and the air pollution in my town is getting bad the news channels warn about filling up ice machines and cutting grass because of the ozone is bad but they never talk about not driving the cars.

A 5m rotor can get more than 5000W but I would like to optimize for slow wind, about 6m/s, I am calculating 2500W or so. I am thinking to build blades in wood and use a multiplied hub motor as generator. A 5m diameter rotor, in 6m/s wind, is going to get 2500 watts at 100% efficiency. At more reaso...
