Crossy

Yes, it's real! https://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/OH-WTF.html#aircraft912815

The more observant will note that there's a framework at the far end where half a dozen more panels will fit and I've got plans for 14 more on an extension to the front edge of the car port. That would add a further 6.8kWp bringing us to just under 20kWp! Madam has plans for enclosing (and air-conditioning) our ground level space, I'll need all the energy I can get.

CrossyPowerCentral has expanded somewhat with the addition of 3 more 340W panels taking us to 13.1kWp on the car-port. Our motley collection of panels demonstrates just how widely the dimensions of panels vary. Except for the baby 100W panel on the right (which powers some of our floodlights) all those panels are 300-340W. This is one of the disadvantages of building a "bitsa" system. Energy storage has also expanded, these are "Archibald" XDLP48-100 (51.2V 100Ah) LiFePO4 battery packs. Sadly, they've been in storage for at least 3 years and I'm not convinced they used new cells even then. They all measure at about 60Ah from full charge to BMS cut-off, they may improve as they balance with usage cycles. I got these packs and a stack of other solar stuff which I'm still inventorying from the estate of a friend who sadly died last year. There are inverters and a stack of panels that I'll need to clear so watch the forum for stuff becoming available. Of course, with all these upgrades we are hitting the limits of our current inverters, so replacements are also on the cards. EDIT Of course, life being life, this collection of stuff came up a week after I'd ordered two new 280Ah 48V packs from Shenzhen Luyuan Technology Co., Ltd. All in USD3,774 for two including DDP shipping to Thailand. Saved a few hundred $$ by ordering them as kits rather than fully assembled. Amy Wan and Shenzhen Luyuan come highly recommended on other solar power forums. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/14KW-48V-51-2V-280AH-Pre_1600894719244.html

Courtesy of your friendly Gemini AI: - Absolutely! There are a couple of ways to achieve this on PC or Android: 1. Taking Scrolling Screenshots (Android): Several free apps can capture scrolling screenshots on Android. Here's a popular option: Longshot: This app lets you capture long web pages or chat conversations as a single image. Simply open Line, navigate to the conversation, and use Longshot to scroll and capture the entire chat in one go. 2. Screen Recording (Android & PC): This method allows you to record yourself scrolling through the conversation, creating a video. Here's how to do it on both platforms: Android: Most Android phones have a built-in screen recorder. Access it through your quick settings panel (swipe down twice from the top) or search for it in your settings app. Open Line, start recording, and scroll smoothly through the conversation. PC: Windows 10 and 11 have a built-in screen recorder called "Xbox Game Bar." Open Line on your PC, activate the recorder (usually Windows Key + G), and scroll through the conversation. 3. Third-Party Scrolling Screenshot Apps (PC): For PC users, there are dedicated scrolling screenshot applications: Picsew (Free): This program allows you to take multiple screenshots and stitch them together into one long image. Open Line, take multiple screenshots strategically to capture the conversation, and use Picsew to combine them seamlessly. 4. Considerations for Printing: Length: Depending on the chat length, the resulting image or video might be very long for printing. Consider using a service that allows scaling large prints. Quality: Scrolling screenshots might have lower resolution compared to individual screenshots. Ensure the text remains legible when printed. Recommendation: Try both methods (scrolling screenshot vs. screen recording) and see which one produces a clearer and more manageable file for printing as evidence. Remember, for legal purposes, it's always best to consult with the lawyer handling your case to ensure the format you choose is acceptable as evidence.

Been pumping water into my UK grandkids for the last couple of weeks, they really don't realise just how much they need to drink in these temperatures! Stay safe everyone!

Just in time to miss this year and be forgotten by next. TiT. EDIT That's 30 seconds of my life I'm not going to get back!

If the whole circuit is in 2.5mm2 and on a 20A breaker you'll be fine.

The only issue could be if the incoming funds are tagged as "international" if you need that statement.

They said there'll be snow at Christmas They said there'll be peace on Earth But instead it just kept on raining A veil of tears for the Virgin birth I remember one Christmas morning A winters light and a distant choir And the peal of a bell and that Christmas Tree smell AND EYES full of tinsel and fire

Do you remember Chalk hearts melting on a playground wall? Do you remember Dawn escapes from moon washed college halls? Do you remember The cherry blossom in the market square? Do you remember I thought it was confetti in our hair?

Elon Musk’s German Tesla plant suffers close to $1 billion in damages after attack by the ‘dumbest eco-terrorists on Earth’ Arsonists calling themselves the Volcano Group left Tesla’s German factory without electricity on Tuesday, leading to damages the company claims could approach $1 billion. More than 60,000 residents in Brandenburg and even parts of Berlin were also affected when a single high-voltage power mast near Tesla’s factory in Grünheide was set ablaze, raising broader questions over how to protect defenseless infrastructure critical to the economy from vandals, saboteurs and criminals. https://www.aol.com/elon-musk-german-tesla-plant-123857792.html

I don't see Wales in the top ten Baaa!

Yup, no issue whatever, expired is expired. You'll get a 30-day visa exempt entry without any bother.

It's also against the forum rules if it changes the context ...

Ouch, at least it did open eventually! I've seen fake MCBs that were literally just a switch!!! This is the datasheet for similar devices from Littelfuse (a known quality brand) https://www.littelfuse.com/~/media/automotive/datasheets/fuses/passenger-car-and-commercial-vehicle/blade-fuses/littelfuse_atof_datasheet.pdf The characteristic curves from that datasheet. Their 2A fuse should open in less than 0.1s at 8A!

Yeah, failing open is my experience too. BUT Once, many years ago (I was about 12 so early 70s) we had an incandescent lamp fail spectacularly when it was on (nice pop, broken glass). Afterwards the dimmer it was controlled by would only operate at full brightness, so in that case I'm assuming the triac went short. But as I said, that's once in many years, other times the beasts have gone open.

I am rather partial to a Long Island Iced Tea (as is my darling wifey). Unfortunately (maybe fortunately) after 2 or 3 long ones the world does become a little blurred round the edges

Good advice on testing the remote. Lurking in one of the earlier posts is the fact that the manual on/off switch on the unit also doesn't turn it off. I'm suspecting a stuck relay, but without poking around on the board with a multimeter we are fumbling in the dark.

Running a BEV which is charged by solar, wind or nuclear where there is no exhaust whatever? Hydrogen does have uses where rapid recharge (long distance haulage) and weight (aircraft) are issues but for personal vehicles the battery which can be re-charged at home is king. At least for the foreseeable future.

Among Colin Crompton’s classic gags were: “First prize in the raffle is a diving suit… no, it’s a divan suite.” Or: “The sign in the gents, ‘Wet paint’, is not an instruction.” The audience, mainly sporting extra-thick glasses and huge sideburns – and that was just the women – were regulars at northern clubs and lapped it all up.
