Very true. The average weight is more important. Even load distribution would indeed help keep fuel consumption down.

Is it a joke do you think?

Yep. That's what it's all about. Government subsidy = 4 million Cost of project = 3 million Projects department = Happy Happy Note to the nit-pickers. These numbers are not real but the idea probably is

A few years ago just before Covid, I had sciatica. This is a compression of the sciatic nerve as it passes out of the spinal column between L4 and L5 of the lumbar region. The pain of this is very debilitating all down my right leg. There are two fixes for this. one involving a surgical procedure and the other, the simple exercise of walking or better still riding a bike. Walking for me was really too painful but riding my bike around the village for 6kM early every morning did the trick. It's not a quick fix by any means but it's free and healthy. The fix took about 6 months and many other bits of me started working much better. My doctor suggested I should use an exercise bike but quite honestly I find such things boring and less than adequate. Much more fun to ride around the village avoiding chickens, dogs, kids and angry old women.

Good question. It's all so exciting isn't it.

What filters do you have at the moment? 150ppm is very low. Is your well a bore hole?

Coup tomorrow

Non-contactable so couldn't receive the bill for the demolition.

Note the electric flashing turn indicators and the windscreen wiper. The first ever electric one horsepower handsome cab.

Here's another one for the connoisseurs. Ffestiniog Railway North Wales The line was constructed between 1833 and 1836 to transport slate from the quarries around the inland town of Blaenau Ffestiniog to the coastal town of Porthmadog where it was loaded onto ships. The railway was graded so that loaded wagons could be run by gravity downhill all the way from Blaenau Ffestiniog to the port. The empty wagons were hauled back up by horses, which travelled down in special 'dandy' wagons. To achieve this continuous grade (about 1 in 80 for much of the way), the line followed natural contours and employed cuttings and embankments built of stone and slate blocks without mortar. Prior to the completion in 1842 of a long tunnel through a spur in the Moelwyn Mountain, the slate trains were worked over the top via inclines (designed by Robert Stephenson), the site of which can still be seen although there are few visible remnants. Thanks to wiki for the description.

Apologies if you didn't notice it, but my picture was a lead acid battery powered milk float not a golf cart. Yeah I've heard about the golf cart fires too. This is one of the reasons why I use lead carbon batteries for my solar ESS.

I wonder how much oil an ICE engine on a dumper truck that size would need every oil change? Electric motors probably need a bit less.....????

I won't happen to my EV......... There. Done.

Stop looking it's not good for you.

Nice observation but where did that initial energy come from? And is that energy being released when the rocks are rolled down the hill in order to charge batteries? And if the world was flat, what then?

Yup. Agreed but something like it has been done a few times before. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_battery

That is one scenario which will undoubtedly work providing the mountain quarry is high enough to allow time for regen. braking to do it's stuff. What about another scenario where the quarry is lower than the road which is relatively flat? Not very versatile but good for elevated quarries in Switzerland.

It's a You Tube vid. which for me = 90% BS.* However convincing the argument may seem, it matters not.............it's still You Tube. * The other 10% is brilliant but can be hard to find.

I thought hazardous jobs were age restricted to persons 18 and over.

I used Keyvisa at the beginning of this year and all went well apart from the passing of Darren during the process. This caused a small problem for me which was quickly resolved. I'm in Buriram so using an agent is probably cheaper for me. The process took 12 weeks.

I once asked someone if they could tell where I come from with my English accent. They told me I was cosmopolitan. I looked on Google maps but couldn't find it anywhere.

Yeah. It's about time he started giving some of his money back to the people he took it from.

I thought that was a picture of a small village lake. Strange the local kamnan should pass up an opportunity to make a few bob. Possible reason could be govt. money not forthcoming.

maybe some a lot of plastic surgery

Agreed but................. Could be done with a dropper resistor and zener plus all the usual ac-dc bits.
