Fracking provides natural gas, which is the least polluting, most energy efficient fossil fuel for use in static applications like power stations and boilers, and can be switched on and off in a minute or so, even in huge Megawatt sized plants (which itself helps make it less polluting)...

The flaming water is a real thing... But isn't necessarily linked to fracking. Apparently the areas where that's been highlighted have aquifers that naturally contain methane hydrates, and the flammable water phenomenon pre-dates the fracking activity. What it really tells me is that those...

I also learned that the hard way... Found the repeatedly "wasting" days re-arranging everything to have room to work and access to the area being worked on to be a bit of a motivation killer.

Gateros offer a Brass Plating kit, but it might not be economic if you need to get a power supply as well to do it. Beyond that, there's a reasonable number of metal platers offering it, so you could have a ring around, it might take a few before you can find one who will take on a small...

The advantage of being able to catch the mist at source before it can get to your face is substantial, and certainly worth looking into... But short of a lucky EBay Bid, they're probably out of the desired price range. You could use an extractor or filter unit to act as one using ducting, as...

I can see why people find Nuclear alarming, and certainly it's very emotive, but I don't find Moorside to be particular cause for concern. What I would say is that when it comes to any of the emotive issues of the day (Nuclear, Incineration/Energy from Waste, Plastic Waste, Fracking, Carbon...

One (possibly more than one) of those TCT core bits will do the job, and do a ok job if you frequently disengage from the cut, clear out the dust/chipped concrete and cool the cutter with water. Because they require you to use the hammer function, and have a lot of surface area in contact with...

Depends what you want to machine, if you're working with part hardened steel, stainless, tool steel, titanium etc, then the additional wear and heat resistance of carbide is essential, regardless of the size of machine. The finish is largely down to how good an edge you can get on the tool...

As an FYI, it's pretty likely that your starter motors are unlikely to be rated for a continuous duty cycle, and would burn out if run continuously for any length of time. Further to that, those tiny welders have a reputation for overstating the current capacity they offer substantially on the...

I would assume it's a heavy sulphonated cutting oil, with an appearance similar to runny honey, which is applied undiluted from a brush or oil-can. Gives good results on aluminium, and can sometimes help on gummy mild steel, it's commonly used by hobbyists and small job-shops, but would only...

You're unlikely to find a wholly satisfactory solution off the shelf in that case (at least not in your price range). But, if you mounted several of the filters you linked (or similar) in one wall of an airtight box, which then links to some flexible ducting and a hood which can be positioned...

You don't really need a filter pack per se (and I wouldn't recommend filtering and recirculation as it will be ineffective unless there's a huge airflow through the filter) just increased ventilation to the outside. A Bathroom/kitchen extractor fan would probably be sufficient, although there...

Not seen that before but it looks very handy as proper working reference... like a bridge between the bare bones of a Zeus book and the overwhelming mass of info in MH.

As a very broad overview (and this is probably about as simple an explanation as I can manage): PCR as a technique is not a "Test", but a sample preparation technique used as the preliminary step prior to conducting RNA or DNA bioassays to determine the presence of a given genetic sequence...

I've done work in environments that might have the average person running for the hills, including a lot of work on sewage treatment and clinical waste disposal; but I draw the line at abbatoirs and especially rendering plants! I recall a process equipment supplier of mine proudly talking about...

That's a lovely looking stove so it is, I can see how you'd feel an attachment to it. From your description I have to admit my first reaction was "I've seen locomotive fireboxes get turned round from worse", although I have to grant that the money involved in making that happen is not...

It's not an opinion. I know her to be wrong based on my first hand experience of using biochemical assay techniques like PCR and statistical methods to design valid testing protocols. As for children your point is literally incoherent, I have no idea what on earth are you attempting to say...

She is however talking about something she isn't actually qualified to comment on, and drawing misleading conclusions to support a particular viewpoint I would seriously question if doctors who are pulling that kind of [rude word for excrement] are fit to practice, as it most definitely falls...

You can only really control condensation by controlling the relative humidity of the air, and it's very difficult to do that without having at least some control over the air temperature. Good insulation and a small heat source to keep the air temp slightly above ambient temp outside are...
