  1. A reverse cycle air conditioner will remove the humidity from the house. An evaporative one will make it worse. Any COLD surface will condense water on it. Nev
  2. Linking power to the grid requires precise synchronisation of the alternating current otherwise the Back EMF will destroy things. . Nev
  3. Once you've run an alcohol speedway bike It will exude a beautiful perfume in your workshop for a good 6 months. Best to run about 4 tankful's to get it properly hot so as to have no water in it. Nev
  4. Show how tough you are and keep using a Port. I think it was mainly a NSW thing. Wagga wagga had a Teacher's College. I eventually I had a leather school bag that made the tomato and banana sandwiches squishy and unattractive. Nev
  5. Thay should start easily if they are serviced and checked. They'd just drink fuel. Nev
  6. Cinder track and sliding developed in the 20s in Newcastle and Maitland and spread from that. Early bikes used Rudge, Douglas, AJS American Crocker, the Harley 350 Pea shooter and later the soon to become ubiquitous JAP engine from Tottenham London and designed by Val Page and installed in various frames till the Mid 60's when ESSO Jawa displaced them. Speedway bikes have NO brakes or gearboxes.. Versions of grass track and oval track have One and two and a four speed gearbox of which you only use the top 2. None of them have a kick starter and they all pretty well ran on Methanol with a total loss oil system and CASTOR oil that exited the engine case by a Leather flap valve on the bottom of the engine.

  7. That's the sensible way to go in my view and include a battery which they do. The motor is running hard even when you are stopped. Nev
  8. Probably intending Meanings. Easy to do. Nev
  9. There's general agreement on that and it passes the pub test. Sunshine Wind and tides will be there anyhow. Nuclear releases heat that wouldn't be released at that rate in normal processes so ADDS heat to the equation and It's EXPENSIVE and needs a network Leaving control in equity groups (Not individuals) and there's difficulty cleaning up afterwards. Nev
  10. There's always going to be storm damage. Underground power for long distances will never be. Normal houses are not built to take it either. The universe is generally a HOSTILE place. There are not many places we could exist, so we'd better look after this one. Nev
  11. I have no trouble with size rise, sizzle or rissole. The use of ZEE might be more prevalent in the US eh! Nev
  12. Not everybody. Demolition Derbys are a waste of time unless you're a cretin. You go to watch good driving and riding. Nev

    I think it's the way your brain tries to interpret things from what your eyes see. I haven't been able to be hypnotised either. Nev
  14. Be Alert . The world needs Lerts. Also, you can have your own beliefs, but not your own FACTS. Nev
  15. The PROPER spelling contains word meaning information which is lost if you go straight phonetic. Nev
  16. How would promoting the game "Slam, NO Trumps" go in the USA? Nev
  17. If you raise some one an amount, aren't you playing Poker? Nev
  18. So we would eventually Go to Sydney to see Apartments that become Vertical Slums? Not that I care that much about Churches but they are often amongst the best buildings in a Town. Nev
  19. Electric is a massive change in principle. It's NO combustion. Always been there in the form of lightning , st elmo's fire, electrolysis and the galvanic process & static electricity to quote a few examples. Nev
