Did it at Arnprior about a month back after an RCD mate took a whole 10 seconds to convince me to give it a shot. What a hoot! It's rather expensive though. One of those, "yep, I did it, enjoyed it, never doing it again" things for me.
Argentina was never going to beat SA, but well done to them for getting this far. I'm tipping england to take the whole thing out, and deservingly so. The wallabies just aren't in good form, and the all blacks world cup curse continues. So imho the 2 best teams are in the final.
oh, and a note...
I don't doubt he'll be damaging, but Rudd is the most two faced leader with the best PR I have ever seen. I hope he doesn't get in, but I reckon he will. There's just no dirt on him. I can't work out why people would vote out a government that has us in the best shape we have ever been in though.
Close call you think Wes? Howard looks to get flogged, and it will be a sad day for the army if he does. Remember what things where like the last time Labor was in govt...
It is all too common to see more than a little political input masqerading as environmental/engineering concerns. It can lead to some pretty stupid outcomes when the facts behind a project become distorted. This happens to some extent here, though there has only been one real example of...
Aaarrggghh, I've been outed! (runs and hides in shadow)
Fine, you won the pen stealing contest on saturday. Stop rubbing it in.
It's just not true. They 'lose' some by not generating it in the first place due to not harnessing all of the power that the wind has to offer, but as far as actual...
For the purpose of debating long distance transmission, that diagram is not exactly useful. It counts losses after customer delivery, during low voltage distribution, during generation, all of which are common losses regardless of which technology you use. Worst of all, a third of the 'losses'...
It's always the way though, and extends well beyond this kind of thing. Those who help get blamed for everything that doesn't go perfectly, even if they are not the cause of it, and were trying to help.
Yep. Was talking to one on saturday, I thought it a little unusual, as there were about 15 of us already manning the recruiting stand.
Still, no complaints here!
Link?
This seems odd to say the least. A joke perhaps? Claiming a 'pole' is meaningless as it is merely a co-ordinate, and has zero actual area. Claiming a 'polar region' the way Antarctica was carved up is totally different.
I got aood giggle reading that in the weekend paper. Supposed to be lara croft inspired. Given that the army now uses promo girls to do recruiting, this aint a big thing.
No it won't. The fluctuations due to wind power, though large, are slow, and can be forecast. Generators other than base load, will turn on and off in a matter of minutes. There should always be at least one turbine on any grid spinning synchronously, without actually generating. This can be...
Generators still do this here. Turbines are often rather conveniently out for maintenance during high demand periods to ensure the price goes up nicely. It isn't illegal either, and not much can be done about it besides limiting the amount of generation any one company can own, and stringent...
Which is why you have an interconnecting grid over a few thousand km. Local areas get shrouded in cloud, but whole continents don't. Same for wind power. Transmission losses at 330kV+ are tiny (most losses occur at local level), so moving power great distances isn't a problem. Solar power for...
