    Its much worse than that. This woman was born in Ohio. She is psychotic She and her dreadful behaviour has nothing to do with the point Trump was making - that Harris had let dangerous and horrible people into the country. He just seized on an incident in which a mad black woman, did an...

    Prices of the electricity we use to charge

    I'm struggling to see how a Chinese man in the UK nefariously messing with a cat and an American mad woman sitting on the kerb with a dead cat (which she was eating) has anything to do with what that boorish idiot Trump actually said: "Those migrants are eating people's cats and dogs in Ohio."...

    I watched Trump and Harris I listened to Trump and Harris. The American People did the same. He is toast.....

    I just watched the Trump/Harris debate in its entirety. I think I am going to have to do an about turn on the prediction I made some weeks ago. Trump was rambling and nasty. Very unappealing to any undecided voter. I now think he will lose. She beat him completely. Everyone will see who the...

    Hailong HL1 36v Batteries - on/off switch - yes or no?

    The first thing that strikes me about the plan is that the charger you are going to use is a 5v one and you must not let the cell bank you are charging up go above 4.2v. I am sure you know this, but I will say it anyway for fear someone comes along in a year's time and gets the wrong idea. When...

    A large amount of those emissions we used to have came from the coal fired power stations we had all over the country. I think they probably had good data about what went up the power station chimney when they burned a ton of coal, so they could very easily come to a total for emissions for that...

    Yes - I keep reading that LFP cells are cheaper but when I look around for prices I don't see that. I am only thinking about this matter at all because of the safety issues of abused and defective manganese/cobalt/nickel chemistry. I was not of course imagining a saleable product here. Just...

    Battery Fires

    Do you think that the difference in energy density between LFP and our current cobalt/nickel/manganese chemistry might be about the lower voltage of the LFP cell, or is it something else? Just looking at it from an ignorant point of view, the voltage difference of the charged cells is 20% lower...

    Yeah we all went around all the time with splitting headaches when the emissions of PM10, PM2.5 and NOx was five hundred percent more than now, back during the 1970s. - NOT!

    Yeah - who needs detailed data from expensive roadside air quality monitoring systems. Religious type dogma is much better, and of course it nets a lot of money and suppresses the prols from owning a car. Let them get on the bus like we did in the 1930s. People have far too much freedom. Much...

    I'd be interested in the future when my current mid drive bike battery needs replacing, but I would want about 13 Ahr really. I realise the difficulty of getting a lower output battery technology into a limited volume. I think we would need a different kind of case. If I was making something, I...

    If the liars who promote the idea that particulate and other pollutants exclusively come from car exhausts would actually consult proper data sources rather than the filthy lies that pour out of that dog Khan's mouth they would be aware of this government graph here which shows that cars are a...

    What pollution is that? ULEZ is a great big lying scam. Trumpian levels of misinformation. This map below is the real live government data. Follow the link to full information rather than just looking at my screenshot which was taken at 12.09 on 11th September. DEFRA monitoring of air...

    Battery Fires

    Yes - there is a fair bit to plan and do. Those triangle bags might help on that issue. On the other hand, you would need to protect the cells from damage if the bike was dropped or fell over while parked, a thing that happens more than i would like.

    Battery Fires

    I wonder how the terminals are on that battery type. I did consider buying some LFE cells with screw terminals. Some have a stud at either end and others a threaded hole. That kind of format would suit amateur building since you could simply bolt the cells together on bus bars. No welding...

    Battery Fires

    Yeah - chip pans. I remember about forty years ago I was visiting my mum with my family and she made some chips to go with the meal and forgot to take the pan off the heat. We were just getting started on the meal and there was a sound of something falling over out in the kitchen. The dining...

    Fire deaths over time in the UK. There has been a massive decline in deaths since 1985. A reduction of two thirds. https://www.statista.com/statistics/291135/fire-fatalities-in-england/

    Battery Fires

    Yes - that's right. I also doubt that an extra 20% or 30% on the weight of the battery would make much difference on an ebike, given the fact that the bikes are powered. I wonder how many of us are not a couple of kg over our ideal weight.... That's about the difference I think (back of a cig...

    Battery Fires

    If we were using LFP batteries there would be no fires. It is virtually impossible to get them to start a fire even when they are horribly abused. They are not prone to thermal runaway as are other lithium batteries which depend on cathode materials like Manganese Oxides and cobalt oxides...
