the military will just take over in time of crisis.

I did. It's the same as buying the cheapest battery and charger and keeping your fingers crossed.

It's not the case that the architects and contractors do not know what they are buying. it's usually the cost cutting motivation that encourages people to choose inferior products while keeping their fingers crossed that disaster will not strike.

If I understand correctly, Raynobond PE was used in cassette form in Grenfell Tower. That product wasn't certified. Raynobond PE in rivet form received class B certification in France. The architects and builders should have use rivet form instead of cassette form. So whose fault was it?

China is already less friendly since we removed huawei 5g from our mobile network. Our chance of success in making smr our own is very small and we have already approved chinese hualong smr.

RR have a chance but as flecc said, plenty of opportunities to lose money. Just look at NuScale. China's effort in SMR is different. They have large internal market, export exprerience, manpower and political backing. Their Hualong1 SMR is already running. The fundamental problem with SMRs is...

it's the fridge freezer type that is more at risk.

The fire risk of fridge freezer is about 10 per million.

a lot of fridge freezers in use today still run on isobutane (R600a) which has a flash point of 45degrees C. If for some reason debris clog the pipes, the pump will work harder to the point that it puts enough pressure to blow the pipes up and as it runs hotter than the flash point, your fridge...

They are waiting for the Chinese to complete TMSR-LF1 (2024) and see it running (2025). Small reactors attract a lot of attention and investment at present. China is leading the field because they think they can make several in a day for the entire world.

The main difficulty with thorium reactor is the chemistry. Small modular reactors may be bought from the Chinese, leaving us the job of processing the fuel.

China is perfecting thorium molten salt reactors. The first tmsr will be commissioned next year. They have enough thorium for 20,000 years at their current energy consumption. In a generation or two, we'll stop burning fossil fuel.

Those 11t freewheels are the only solutions when you have already got your motor.

Not as many as 200 but they are not a reliable solution.

Yes. None of them (dnp, sunrace, ventura etc) is anywhere as reliable as ordinary cassettes. You need to understand how they are built. Some are freewheel to cassette adapters. They fail well before 3000 miles. Some have a very small and thin core. They pop out into 10 pieces when you don't...

The vast majority (99%+) of customers never need to replace the freehub and I always keep spares. Customers should go for the best available solution within their budget, otherwise you could save a few quid and never experience what a good bike can do for you. The Shengyi DWG2NC and the MXUS...

For rear hub conversion, the Shengyi DWG2NC motor has freehub, 135mm rear dropout. Same price as XF08C. The good thing about cassette is you have 11T on the smallest cog. That allows leisurely cadence up to 18mph with standard 44T chainring. Freewheels are not as good. Firstly, they wobble. Just...

If it were easy, they'd done it. Magnetites stick to surfaces like glue.

Not a lot but stuff like magnetite is nearly impossible to clean. It will stay accumulated until somebody breathes it in.

WHO is a large organisation. Sometimes they make mistakes. You should not extrapolate one event to conclude on another. Saneagle is quite careful with what he writes. He is a good example how to be different.
