    Encounter with Police????

    Its clearly meant to make people believe that the wearer is a police constable, lets not pretend any one buys it for any other purpose. I have also linked the relevant legislation. Like I have also said you are an adult and make your own decisions. In the grand scheme of things it really...

    Encounter with Police????

    Look I am not bothered that you or some one you know wears one, it doesn't bother me that I have seen people wearing them on sports bikes behaving like prats. Having basic knowledge of some laws because of previous work I have done, I pointed out possible implications so that readers may using...

    Encounter with Police????

    Because the former is part of the police act and the latter is not: Any person who, not being a constable, wears any article of police uniform in circumstances where it gives him an appearance so nearly resembling that of a member of a police force as to be calculated to deceive shall be guilty...

    Encounter with Police????

    See loads of motor bike riders wearing them, it seems to to imply to them that every one should be mindful of their right to ride like arse holes. Impersonating a police officer carries a prison sentence.

    Where to buy a magnetic battery connector ?

    I have been mulling it over and if you do go with the magnetic idea, you will have to make the socket on the external side of the rucksack, I would use 2 round plugs each with ring magnets on the male and female, I would also use some sort of thin rubber or plastic material to stop them shorting...

    Self driving e-bike

    They mentioned using it to drop food and medical supplies in a war zone, i.e a humanitarian role. There are already numerous more sophisticated ways to deliver munitions to enemy targets in war zones.

    hydrogen generators for cars

    What these devices do is use energy release from burned petrol diesel, turned into electricity to generate hho. It is more wasteful than burning petrol or diesel to propel your car. Every time the energy is converted there are losses through heat, noise and friction.

    Lithiun-Ion Battery to run a house

    Soundwave, I know a chap that sells lead acid batteries for cheap. He has some hefty ones at the minute (90ah) all tested and showing good capacity. 5 or 6 of them could probably run a house. I know of at least one chap who lives off grid and a few more who use old lister stationary engines...

    Need to find strong tube for my rack

    There are different stainless steels, some are soft and some are hardened, all usually come annealed (unless you specify differently) and you would have to harden them yourself. You would need an oven capable of taking the steel to its critical temperature and then it needs quenching to make it...
