here you go...read through this tech report. This was actually from a 3.0mW turbine. The 'sweep' of the blades and hence amount of wind 'harvested' is significantly less than the newer turbines we have today. 3.6mW are becoming the norm, but the 6mW direct drive (no gearbox and hence more...

Yeah sure i'll dig some data out. What a lot of people get confused over is the actual cost in terms of money and not energy used to create them. They certainly dont pay for themselves in terms of money very quickly...that takes nearly 10 years depending on the model of turbine and where it is...

and to add...wind power isnt the only solution. we need to utilise our natural assets and combine them. We're an island surrounded by water, so it makes sense to incorporate tidal power. nuclear would be a great option as its efficient etc...however, the bubble has burst on that despite what our...

Being a wind turbine engineer, Im all for them...however, they have a place and are not suitable for installation in any location. The majority of 'farmable' wind is generally offshore, so it makes sense to have them out to see. I work on the new 3.6mW offhsore turbines, and they are remarkably...

WOW! they look stunning...impressive work there. im like a magpie when people post shinys like these...thanks for sharing...

thats the bit that scares me...

looks like an incredible place to live...perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors. thanks for sharing with us...

just bought this on your say so david southey, for 99 whole pence from 'the bay'...it had better be good...i know where you live...muahahahahaha

they look great...really like the look of them. thanks for sharing...

ordered a UCO lantern on friday and it was here today...no problems. hope you manage to get your issue resolved as they seem to be a good company.

IVe never thought about it as I didn't think anyone would want to buy one of my knives considering the amount of talented blade smiths on here...

this is mine...and my very first attempt at making a blade. Its very rough, and scaled in oak, but the blade is accidentally fantastic. Holds and edge so sharp it could cut the time-space continuum! Ive made several since, and all (thankfully) an improvement, but this just seems to fit nice in...

sounds like a great night out! well done, and thanks for sharing! im out meself tonight...

yup wabbit...if you can see the hind foot prints, the forepaws will often be slightly forward and slightly staggered with regards to each other. thats generally how i spot if its dinner or not.

WOW! that is one of the best looking blades i have seen....great job!! really impressive...would love to see the finished sheath too if you're producing blades like that. thanks for sharing...

cheers robin...never thought of the selective tempering side of things. I was referring to hardening which i realise for 01 is around 820-840-ish. I was surprised the plate was a bright cherry red (i wondered if it was safe) i thought if ceramic coated enamel (i think) could get cherry red, then...

Sorry if this is in the wrong place mods, please feel free to move it. Just wondering if anyone has HT'd on an Aga?? I have tempered in mine a number of times, but yesterday I noticed the Aga top plate had been left on with the lid down...and when i lifted the lid, it was cherry red hot...

thanks for the kind comments...i realised about the pith and ensured the wood was properly dried out before carving...hopefully this will remedy the situation...if not, i have an excuse to carve more :) cheers!

hello... ...been mucking around the last few days and rustled up these. 2 hazel spoons and a scrap-metal knife with hazel, leather, birch and colubrial (sp) handle...thanks for looking. please excuse the quality of the pics as they were taken on my mobile on the WRONG setting :lmao...

looks just like Fairbourne in Wales...great pics, especially the open cast mine...
