By the way, did you hear the one about a snake that got into the exhaust pipe of a car and ended up coming out the air cleaner in the engine bay. ! 😲 Yup. True blue Aussie story mate. 😉 Just threw that in to lighten up a bit.

Great enterprising idea but someone beat you to it because did you hear they now require a substantial deposit for such nice rooms ? 😉

oh yes. also maybe Paranoid Schizophrenia, Borderline Personality Disorder. Sooo nice then sooo nasty.

This scenario was "done to death" (oops sorry) several weeks ago in Thaiand. I think the anti-Pits won the debate.

Chinese, female, holds up traffic, naked and bites. dear lady.

Again:- L.O.S. is now:- Land Of S#it. Verysad.

Cant quite make out what it is exactly in Banders picture (no glass?) but did anyone see a possibility of what could be "heat tube" design? Very old and amazingly efficient technique where evaporation, transfer of energy, then condesation is used and has comparative conduction to gold bar transfer efficiencies.

Yes Crossy, of the typical 1000W/sq metre of solar insolation, the water panels might gain 80% of that energy compared to the 25% per square m of P.V. panels,(that work best in cold weather) but the max temp of the former is limited to the protected ambient air temps of water panels and "r" factor of back-of-plate insulation and maybe double glazing etc. then vacuum and mirror tubes later became state of art. Again.. my aim was high levels of stored thermal energy (because of 95water temps) for following cloudy weather. Like you say:- horses for courses. i.e. clouds and family usage. Are you into stored heat in "sand batteries" heated by P.V.? My next project. Similar principle i.e. higher thermal energy stored at phenominal temperatures like 1000 degrees?? for winter heating houses. Happening in Europe at council level. L

Sorry guys. Couldnt locate the A/N page for my "brilliant" invention some 5 years ago. 😇 after which I discovered was commercially available anyway.🫢 Ever since originally designed by Aussie? guy, about 100? years ago, many newer desig features got temps up, better back-insulation in water plates, vacuum tubes, curved focussing mirrors etc, all to raise temp and improve efficiency. Farms till then had slow combustion stoves with a water filled back plate in the fire box. Bander you are very neat, and lucky you copied Solarhart brand design whereby the low profile tank is easy to establish that critical distance above the uppermost plate level being below the cold tank input to prevent reverse cycle at night. Older mug shaped tanks protruded high above the plates. Conversly my orig thermal plates were 3 metres above tank so needed special consids. Briefly:- a sensor in top of plate also top of tank, comparator, small circ pump for daytime. Leave it. Sure a low push-n-flow NRV and/or pump can prevent reverses cycling. Leave it. Should have tablated design reasons in the long body of orig text:- 1. A much higher tank temp of 95 is a higher stored thermal mass over many days of following clouds. Tempering vale? OH YES. Greater Delta T suggests good "r" factor of insulation to take advantage of. Much higher tank temp is possible. Even boils if bypassing the thermostat, not so with thermal plates. No plate frost danger. In L.O.S.? ha ha. 2. Total flex location design of both Solar P.V. and tank. 3. Negates water leakage mtnce. 4. Low Press water supply negates need for steam release. 5. S/H solar P.V. panels made it very cheap. 6. Independent of A/C power avoids my home battery accidental drain. 7. Back up energy source for shorter days? or more clouds? up to your imigination/needs. Cheers guys, and seems like the badgering non-experienced skeptics bowed out this time and noticing how Bander and others are now respectfully "up there" where they belong. Dont ya just love the Thai boots beside the neat but vulnerable H.W.S.😚 in Banders pic.

Noticed in a recent article about "last power bill ever" some are using solar water panels at ground level for hot water systems, the temps are probably not great, and tanks need mounting at a higher level to prevent reverse cycling at night. This suggestion below is definately D.I.Y. whereby 6 x 250Watt second hand off grid 30V P.V. panels can be on the roof out of the way, and a 200 litre tank (max) can be anywhere. Diversification and increased thermal storage is the theme. Similar commercial designs are on the market. Screw in a 48v DC element (typically 1.6kw) into the tank with the usual 2 small links rearranged in series to make it a 96V element. Matching of the 90V panel config to that element voltage appears best. Install 2 strings of 3 P.V. panels each, to give 90V at about 16A combined, and feed that current via a 25A? safety isolation C/B, to a typical 30A 300V? D.C. Solid State Relay on a matching heat sink, to the element. Connect a very small 12v solar panel (100/200ma) via a small on/off switch, via the system's thermostat to turn the SSR on/off, and adjust the temperature up to 95 degrees if you choose, BUT then must have a tempering valve near the tank outlet to mix cold water, adjusted to give about 50 degrees, or to suit the regulations. 40 is ok for showers if the insulated feed line length doesn't lose much heat. Absorbtion type tank or low pressure design? you can work around that. If the tank has good insulation, the increased stored thermal energy can with care last many more days at 95 derees during cloudy weather, compared to the typical lower maximum temperatures of the old hot water pipe plate absorbers. Want better tank insulation? dismantle the outer skin and replace with better stuff. Need an sacrificial anode because of acidic water? Your decide. Skeptics dont bother. My system has worked amazingy for 5 years now.

Mmmm isnt he is 100% Chinese hertige? Watch this space. Lots Of Sceptisism? Oh yeah, and anything is possible after this debacle.

History has said > Welcome to the Land Of Smiles Farang Jon said > Welcome to LOS Land of scam. findlay13 said > to live in a land, where justice is a game? JingJoe sadly says > Land Of S#it

It might??? have been different if only he had read the details on the policy. Did you Frits miss the details on the news source that stated:- the family has been dealt a cruel blow, discovering that the policy does not cover the exorbitant medical expenses resulting from motorcycle injuries of this nature. ? But regardless- what irresponsible person/daddy would ride without a helmet anywhere in the world? and it probably wasnt traffic that caused it! It's more than "a cruel blow" as above, that probably neither money nor surgery can fix this "deadly blow". Yes- so stupid and sad and may this news reach out to the world.

I still reckon we are on the same page Lou. "Fine print" is just an expression of must read the policy details, big or small - and carefully and abide by them hey. With or without bike insurance, a helmet for daddy too would have been good "insurance". Sad story.

But... They had already one helmet, and two parents chose to ride the E.Scooter!!! Read the fine print in the story, just like he should have read and obeyed the fine print of the insurance policy.

Yes Lou say it like it is and cop this:- E.Scooters are the scourge of pedestrians and riders worldwide. France has banned them? Only one helmet and mum got it? Tragic that two boys might lose that dad who made the stupid decision for either of the 2 parents to use an E. S. No sympathy for anyone who knows about many existing worldwide tragedies, then gets on an E. Scooter, anywhere! and now this tragedy. Would he have worn a helmet anyway? even with added bike insurance or not? Irresponsible kids? no, irresponsible parents, but hope he survives, is normal, and feel for the poor kids.

Agree. and so sad to have to use the last resort of a "picture that is supposed the be worth 1000 words" against her employer. She is very savvy, but even then will justice happen even with video proof? Land Of S#it

Farcical Topic:- "Thaksin’s future still in the balance" Ha ha ha, the scales are not balanced but very much tipping his way.

Mai mi pun ha. Not a problem. Has the cat has been purposely let out of the bag?, better now than later?, dont sweep it under the carpet, pardons are the go right now so clear his name with yet another, and get back to business as usual of up and up, so its back on track and lets get "back to the future". Is anyone really surprised?? L.O.S. happily used to mean "Smiles" but now it rhymes with "Sit"

Beautiful coloured patterns in that grass photo.. Looks closer to 5 metres. Pythons are about the only kind of snake I admire but give that one half a chance and it could hug you to death.

Yes, agree with OneMoreFarang, and the consequences are now happening even with adopted children into "proper families" (Husband and wife) when as teenagers they can sense something is not biologically in order and usually gets sorted out. But.... having two same sex "guardians" unfairly puts a boy or girl child into:- 1. not having both a mummy and a daddy to relate to, 2. not having a role model to be either a mother or father or 3. no role model how to be a spouse in a proper family, or 4. Imagine a littl girl feeling the odd one out at school and crying "I havent got a mummy like you have ", or vice verca a liitle boy with no daddy, or the two more variations in that sad saga. So then bullying just compounds the poor children's disaster. How bloody cruel can selfishnesss get.!!! and NOTHING anyone says in this forum could ever convince another humane human that same sex adoptions or surrogacies are humanely justified. But watch this space, they'll try. The poor victims have no say in the matter and can, and is, severely affecting their life because already they are speaking up against people playing "God" so to speak. OneMoreFarang also said- "handicapped". Oh yeah ! Surrogacy for the "benefit" of same sex "marriages" is the most utterly selfish abomination, working totally against nature, and now is a hot topic in many countries that was bound to happen as a legal wedge after same sex marriages. but:- If any of them want to live with each other, let them do it.

Sirineau, that was a whole lot of encouraging info and wondering why was this was not great? > " I had a 6 meter platform that i used in the past but the pleasure was not Great," Anything to do with the shower head? handy hint to remember:- with just 8psi from your former 6 metre head, there's a shower rose designed with very fine holes. Makes a huge difference. Theres lovely "TopsFlo" 12v or 24v brushless, magnetically coupled pumps, non summersible, a 12 metre head and run very nicely from a couple of 12v solar panels. A compact boat's bilge pump switch with its float, mounted at the tank top can be turned upside down to stop the pump when a tank is full. Re hose nozzles, regardless of your former 6 metre head versus new pumps, check out Holman's 1/2 inch metallic nozzle. Brilliant peformers. Half on is nice garden spray. The sandy environment sounds more encouraging than your first post but how about your ph level? There are cheap pairs of ph and TDS meters to monitor water. How bad can well water get? Have had lots of practical experience with water etc but little with wells.

Yes I said it KhunLA, and good on ya for the figures above. Oz is not called "the sunburnt country" for nothing and there's a huge percentage of houses with solar panels and ever increasing huge solar and wind turbine farms already in operation, and being installed.

Dont know where you get that info. Reports out of Australia say there is an incredible growth of EV sales.

Yes, agree sir Sirineou, and theres probably much more coal used to make I.C.U vehicles, with their many more components, which in turn go on to spew emissions in Bkk etc, for the rest of their life. Then the detractors will have objections e.g .... what about the power needed to charge the E.V.'s? Go solar to charge the EV as I do, and increasing others, and let it happen at national level too. The EV subject was done to death on a recent topic in ASEAN NOW. Scares about power outages being bandied out there? good, this will evolve towards more alternative power. Watch that space.
