There are plenty of studies on the cost to reach net zero, and commentary on those studies, a couple of links below. The cost is not as abhorent as one may imagine, but there is still a cost. Most of the studies point out that the cost associated with catastrophic climate change would be orders...

Nothing is 100% safe, within my personal risk tolerance is how I would phrase it. However I ran my whole shed off a 13A 30m extension cable for several years before I finally got proper electrics installed. I would do it in my shed because: - It is only me working in my shed, managing the risk...

I use the start/run on the control pad for my morticer likely not a great solution for a trade environment but occasional hobby use I think it's ok. Totally agree on the need for a housing/container of some sort for dust. I repurpose plastic click top containers for VFD housings.

I'd do the first if I thought is saved me much, but I'd shorten as much as possible the extension from vacuum to local multi sockets I stay far far away from the VFD idea, they have some huge capacitors in them and getting it wrong could be a best expensive, at worst deadly. F.

Homemade apricot jam? You've got me wanting hot buttery jammy toast now!

At a high level: - rewire the motor from star to delta (assuming your VFD is 240v in 240v out) - wire the motor directly to the VFD omitting any switches - check the parameters on the VFD - power it up and use start/run button on the VFD to run the motor Rewiring the motor involves following...

They are pulleys that the sash cord runs over, the window sashes are counterweighted so that they are balanced. The image below (credit Ventrolla) shows how the overall window works.

Absolutely, with the wind, wave and solar available to us as a nation we can drive CO2 emission's down and have control of our energy sources. It's easiest with heating and electrical power supplies, enabling transport to benefit from low CO2 power needs electrification of the vehicle stock or...

Yes rose tinted spectacles will always see the past as better. I know all my parental friends are trying to find their way through modern parenting, do any of them let their kids have endless screen time, no. Do any of us push our kids out the door to play outside, yes most of us. It may seem...

Welcome along, super looking workspace and a bench already, oh get you! ;)

Glad to have you along for the ride.

Parental child avoidance is now more visible as phones are consumed in public, is it worse now than historically where parents would get home from work stick the TV on and say not a word until 'bed time' was called out, who knows? To simply say 'NO' to smartphones is too simplistic, as they...

It's interesting how I consider myself fairly well informed and well read but when I really thought about it I'd never gone looking for any of the numbers on this topic. I found this page was great for laying out a load of different slices and dices on CO2 emissions. I love the chart of...

But you haven't argued you've just stated your opinion! Saying "it doesn't matter which metric you use" and then saying "It's the total output at the end of the day which is the critical" means you think it does matter which metric is used, and you think it should be total output per country...

Prototype has been prototyped, list of improvements generated, and now on with the actual build. Much more straightforward item than in some previous years, which is sensible given I’ve a window to finish and fit before Xmas.

You say the metric is unimportant and then use the metric of total co2 emissions per country as the benchmark! That aside, why is it the total CO2 per country that you think should be the metric, I am honestly interested in your rationale? Personally I think co2 per capita is a helpful metric...

12mm walls 9mm ceiling on 600mm centres. Plenty of online sites, ie MaterialsMarket, offer free delivery and 12x12 + 9x5 is £330 inc delivery.

There is a big difference between 10” and 12” models. I’m limited to 10” width and initially thought I’d have to get a bigger machine at some point but 7yrs later I still have not. I needed to flatten a single piece for a coffee table once but it was 600mm wide so the extra 2” wouldn’t have...

I find it super quick to setup though with less open time than the other PVAs I use. I’m hot summer days it’s almost unusable.
