I saw a review recently on screwfix where someone was complaining about their new tracksaw. The splinter guard clashed with the blade out of the box so they gave it one star. Fake reviews (or ones like the one above) are very common both good and bad. I would not believe the reviews if there...

and a half price 400mm t square when you buy a 600mm. How many people want both or would make do with one or the other.

That will be a problem for some but not for others. If you are able bodied and not carrying lots of stuff*** and live close to the bus top it is easy to walk. With GPS trackers in buses there would be no reason to wait for long as you would know how far away the bus was and how long it took you...

Just had a look at Exeter services. There are about 500 spaces of which about 136 (27%) are next to landscaping or footpaths. There appear to be six chargers in a hatched off area which may be wider than normal bays which would effect the number of spaces available. I would assume that in the...

I would assume that overstaying at fast chargers will be greater than at a petrol pump. At the petrol pump you queue (sometimes) fill up, maybe pick up some bread and milk then pay. At a fast charging station people will want to do something with those thirty minutes. If they are at the...

I would assume it would be no different to a motorhome connecting up to a socket on a campsite. I don't know if there are different installation regulations for a purely domestic charger and one for limited commercial use. I would think that the main problem would be insurance, are you covered...

I am not sure who started it but in a reply i stated that you could measuer what other devices were using so that the car does not over load the house circuits. this could be done with a simple electrical mechanical device.

You could of course set up you electric meter to communicate by your broad band to California to talk to the manufactures main frame. The computer could then contact your car via the mobile phone network and tell it to stop charging. Alternatively you measure the speed that wheel goes around...

Not sure what you are talking about. Few have there own wind turbine. The wind turbine owner will want to make money no ifs involved.

The cost of running a wind turbine will be made up of the wear and tear and other day to day costs and the return on the capital to build the thing and remove it at the end of the day. If there is no demand at 3am they can reduce the wear and tear by turning it off but it is just sat there...

Like the sensor that measures a cars speed communicates with the display on the dashboard. Does not seem to be too difficult.

Sounds like an interesting idea. I have seen proposals to cool buildings in the summer by running water through them then down into the ground. Then in the winter run it to take the heat back. There have been similar ideas to use the heat in the ground around the deep tube lines to heat the...

You are over complicating things. If you need to limit electrical demand the car you do not need to know that the kettle, oven etc is on. All the car needs to know is to stop charging when the rest of the house is drawing more than X. No Alexa or other such technology required, all you need is...

If you can easily fix part of a problem why shouldn't you do it. In the distant past when I was at school I was told to do the parts of the exam I could do then look again at the harder parts.

I was referring to 25% of vehicles using unwanted off peak wind power. What has that got to do with the other 75%.

ICE engines in hybrids will not be used to generate power for the grid. If this was a thing then larger more efficent generators in hospitals etc would be used. With these new fangled smart meters that monitor your electricity usage why don't they use them to monitor your electricity usage and...

Cars release about 25% of the CO2 in the UK. If half those with off street parking charged their EVs with "Economy 7" from unwanted wind at night that would reduce emissions by 6%.

I think both approaches are best. My reply may lack substance to some.

It is difficult to store wind and solar. Batteries can be used for short term smoothing in demand. If the unwanted renewable energy can be used to charge you car at night it will be cheaper than the electricity during the day when everybody is working cooking etc.

Why do you assume that they are UK citizens (they could live in Northern Ireland). Many people who arrived as children never applied for nationalisation because they wrongly assume like you that they already are. You may wish to google the Windrush scandle. So I again ask What about people who...
