    Wind and Solar vs Coal, Gasoline, Nuclear

    The way we all waste energy at the moment with 20% efficient cars and badly insulated houses there is plenty of scope for more expensive energy that we just use less of. I thought the problem was supposed to be energy demand at night when solar doesn't work? All or most of these activities...

    formula101's Covid-19 topic

    You mean Youtube videos and opinions that would be impossible to produce whilst sitting down. I don't actually care what you think (literally no one does) but posting potentially harmful misinformation on a public forum in a time of a global health crisis is unacceptable and cannot go...

    formula101's Covid-19 topic

    By this logic gunshot to the head is considered rarely fatal as the vast majority of the 7 billion people in the world have not been killed by it. Please be sensible. The Diamond Princess case establishes two things: 1) Transmissibility: All passengers were stringently quarantined in their...

    Then perhaps you should stop posting medical advice based on fringe internet sources and your own opinions.

    formula101's Covid-19 topic

    Is posting misinformation about the virus, it's threat or how to mitigate it at least considered Off Topic considering Scooterman101's original post?

    Wind and Solar vs Coal, Gasoline, Nuclear

    Yes, biomass is questionable, but still better than burning coal. Some of the biomass is crop and other food production waste, but a lot is wood pellets imported from the USA from apparently sustainable forests. Yes, demand has fallen, partly due to efficiency savings, partly due to offshoring...

    Common sense things to do to get ready for Coronavirus

    As suspected, you have nothing. You claim over 70s in the UK are being forcibly quarantined and your evidence is an article about Californians being recommended to stay inside. No mention of martial law. Your original claim: So which previously-banned member are you, exactly?

    Common sense things to do to get ready for Coronavirus

    Go ahead, post the "facts" you have to support either of your two statements re: forced quarantine and martial law. This will be entertaining because I know first hand not only that you are wrong but how and why you are mistaken.

    Wind and Solar vs Coal, Gasoline, Nuclear

    If we're talking electricity rather than energy, by the end of 2019 the UK was at: 40% renewable (20% wind, 6% solar, 12% biomass) 39% fossil fuel (38% gas, 1% coal) ~20% nuclear 10 years ago it was: 80% fossil fuel (40% gas, 40% coal) ~20% nuclear...

    Common sense things to do to get ready for Coronavirus

    Perhaps I should restate something I posted on the first page of this thread: this particular corona virus has never before crossed from animals to humans. It is novel and NO ONE has ANY pre-existing immunity to it. This is exactly why this pandemic is so potentially dangerous and is...

    60kW 400V EV Motor Controller

    It was running from 3-phase 400V AC mains but I think it could also take a lower voltage single phase AC input and boost the voltage and convert to 3 phase. No idea if it could take a DC input - suspect it might but it wasn't in the manual. It was a WEG unit. IGBT based thing.

    Ironically you accuse others of talking nonsense. None of this is true. Absolute, paranoid rubbish.

    60kW 400V EV Motor Controller

    I'm pretty sure the last 3 phase 400v industrial induction motor drive I messed with could also drive permanent magnetic motors via a sin/cos resolver. It was about 30kW and about the size of 1.5 shoe boxes

    Keeping the schools open is a sensible move as when they close the kids usually end up being looked after by their grandparents

    Predicted Late Night Standup on Iowa

    I suppose imposing minimim legal standards on suppliers of drinking water is facist as well.

    Common sense things to do to get ready for Coronavirus

    You have quoted no one who says it is pointless to wash your hands. That is your personal INCORRECT INTERPRETATION of what you have read. You are WRONG. Follow the advice of the professional medical authorities. Experts in epidemiology. WASH YOUR F**KING HANDS!!!

    Predicted Late Night Standup on Iowa

    So seatbelts and crash testing of motor cars is also facist? Obama was a president who didn't die in office. What would Trump's response be to that???

    Wind and Solar vs Coal, Gasoline, Nuclear

    Yes, it is an expensive gamble but one worth taking IMO due to the huge potential payoff. The chance of a dead end or two is part of R&D. Next gen nuclear may be quicker/cheaper to build but that's a) to be established yet and b) not ready yet, so you need to factor in the additional delay.

    Yes, wash you hands regularly and don't touch your eyes, nose or mouth in between.

    Common sense things to do to get ready for Coronavirus

    Yes, so don't hang around in a small room with an infected person who is sneezing AND WASH YOUR HANDS AFTER TOUCHING SURFACES THAT COULD BE INFECTED! Jeez.

    Wind and Solar vs Coal, Gasoline, Nuclear

    The ITER timeline is probably realistic due to the scale of the challenges. I'd love to see a working prototype plant in my lifetime. All other obstacles aside, I have seen it claimed that there simply isn't enough time or skilled workers to build even traditional fusion at rate sufficient to...
