  1. A large Hair-of-the-Dog! If nothing else it will take what remains of your mind off the headache!
  2. Indeed (although they are getting better every day). But since the input energy is free the true conversion efficiency doesn't really matter, the energy that comes out is still "free" (even 10% of zero is still zero) ...
  3. If you are growing them (and another, rather weedy, forum isn't suitable) then go for it!!
  4. We have a shiny new forum for "Green" stuff that doesn't really belong here. Why not take a look? https://aseannow.com/forum/422-the-green-forum/
  5. Well, here we are, another new forum. Please feel free to discuss any "Green" issues that take your fancy. Start here for ideas: - Note: - The sub-forum to Alternative Energy is a hotlink to the existing forum of that name, so no need to try to post in both ???? A few Ground-Rules. Let's leave the conspiracy theories at home shall we! We all know the earth is flat and Kubrick filmed the moon landings (but insisted on doing it on-location for realism). Feel free to discuss Climate Change - Although if the handbags come out posts may well vanish without warning! Prepping? Why not? Although the US is definitely the prepping capital of the (round) world, there's loads we could do here in sunny Thailand. TEOTWAWKI - Again why not? But no Zombie Apocalypse (unless it's really happening). Preparing for a Carrington Event is definitely relevant. Serious note: - Any alleged factual claims must be supported by a valid link to an approved credible source. This thread is definitely Work in Progress so please check back regularly.

  6. "Please do not use the lavatory whilst the train is passing over the solar panels!". Sorry, couldn't resist But trains really are pretty mucky things when it comes to dropping oil and other stuff on the tracks. Installation locations would have to be chosen carefully.
  7. Facebore group - Snakes of Bangkok Admin suggest it's an Oriental Rat Snake (Ptyas mucosa) so harmless to anything bigger than a rat.
  8. Yup, the Village Head will have the number of the local snake / monitor/ crocodile / insect / elephant wrangler.
  9. Floating panels also reduce evaporation loss from reservoir surfaces, so there's no need for those awful (and potentially polluting) floating plastic balls.
  10. At our OP's request please continue in his house building thread: -
  11. Murder or art? Either way it's a bit of fun ????
  12. Page 2 and nobody has linked to this ???? Link to construction details in the first post.
  13. Hmmmm, I think he may be barking up the wrong tree, but I'm not there to see what testing he's done. Did you try the RCBO set to 30mA?
  14. Actually, that's the bit you want to keep damp for a good earth ???? You want to be looking for damp inside wall boxes, external light fittings and the like. Start in places where the weather can get it.
  15. Yeah, and of course it will go away when it dries out, until next time ???? The usual suspects are outside lights and outlets or ants getting in any of the wall boxes. Time to get out the screwdriver and check everything.
  16. Yup, that's about it. So don't go getting hold of live wires. Assuming (not always a good idea) that the system is properly earthed then there's no immediate danger, but it needs sorting ASAP.
  17. Thailand issue Citi credit cards are accepted.
  18. OK with the RCBO unit removed you have no earth leakage protection, over-current protection will still work. Does the breaker stay on with the selector set to 30mA? I suspect that the damp has got into the electrics somewhere (not necessarily where the board is located), you need an electrician to look at it and locate where the damp is (clue, it happened after the rain). Running without earth leakage protection isn't an immediate danger, but it's definitely not advisable for a business.
  19. Does anything show on the PEA / MEA App?
  20. The man that invented Tupperware has died The funeral is delayed because they are trying to find the right lid for the coffin. This time I'm definitely fetching my coat!
  21. Baiting post and reply removed. Thread has run its course anyway.
  22. The discounts continue, both of service charge and FT. ????
