There was ONE with a Bright Orange painted face the other day. Nev

A dropped lead acid battery may have some of the Plates broken at the top and will have a short life.. If they sit for a time dead flat sulphating will occur that can render them unserviceable . It's also difficult to get some chargers to start charging them. It that happens try connecting another GOOD battery in parallel with it. Check for HOT cells. Many of those batteries are stored without acid until ready for use. A top up charge is advised before installing. Cold (freezing) conditions will part discharge a battery. Batteries kept at full charge Last longer. . Top up with PURE water. Nev

The CASA publication when Dick first took over the show Was "DICK SMITH Your new HEAD" on the cover. Pretty RUDE I thought at the time.. Nev

From anything I have investigated a battery is the BIG step to make in an individuals situation. Better done for a community project All the batteries Musk put in SA were retained by successive governments (even LNP) Morrisson Rubbished the idea that Musk said unless it worked you didn't have to PAY anything. .. Nev

The economics are there for private enterprise to build storage and buy if for say10c and sell it for 23c OR some crazy price in an emergency till they do something else., Battery power is INSTANT. Nev

Bit rough for a family forum.. Nev

Salt and spices hide the taste of Rotting. . Nev

You can still use Land that's producing solar and wind for other things at the same time. Plenty more rooftop space not yet covered with solar.. WHO wants a nuclear power station near them when a war might be possible. What about the wasted heat with the vast amounts of cooling water needed and the required water is not necessarily at the Coal Power sites designated. This just a Brain Fart idea by the LNP to keep coal as long as possible and confuse the renewable energy roll out.. Nev

It was an UNUSUAL process and these things can be quite localised in the way they happen.. Some parts of Spain are very poor and the infrastructure hundreds of years old.so effective flood prevention/ mitigation works are not likely or possible. Nev

Yes the extra you spend may not equal the rise in price you get,. It's easier to be wise after the fact. Nev

Hydrogen is tricky stuff. It leaks easily and hardens some metals. To liquify it is not easy. Nev

It did what they do when you get with high AoA and full power. Propeller "P" forces if you want to look it up. It's like having an engine out on a twin and not having Vmc(a) Nev

I'm not very Pro General Motors these days but the Hum Vee's are a great thing. Nev

They tend to get more attention if they are people like you, Us. Somewhere in Africa not so much but its not ignored. Nev

With a reciprocating motor I would think so. Electric is about 96% efficient and simple. Nev

Surplus Solar and wind will provide energy for the Hydrogen. Nev

To err is human to forgive divine. . Much of my 'stuff' is from memory and that will continue to be. . That is not an exam question, is it. "Inigo" is an unusual name . Nev

Leather is readily available in the USA. It comes off the stuff they put in hamburgers (minced). Nev

Trump will GET them. They are brave people. Nev

There was a long term weather forecaster named Indigo Jones when I was a wee chappie. Nev

Trump has telegraphed what he will be like for all to be aware of. It's the Republican Party who have let the USA down. GUTLESS bunch bar Liz Chaney.. I think HE will get in with the Mad Elon pouring out a flood of BS. and nearly every GOP person saying Trump won last time but was robbed despite overwhelming evidence to the Contrary. Nev

He's not wrong. Nev
