    A musician friend of mine regularly went to Cuba. Had a Bike there ready to use. Loved the Place. No starving there. Of Course it made the USA angry and they embargoed the Place and wouldn't buy any Sugar from them. or anything else. Nev

    With fire It's essential to be on the ground as quickly as can be safely achieved. Did the engine run out of Oil? Once the connecting rod broke there would be a lot of vibration. 27oo rpm seems high for that sized motor in cruise.. Good road for landing on. Nev

    One of the Obvious Problems with Australia is the diversion of capital excessively towards House Investment, instead of into MORE PRODUCTIVE things. We have the Biggest Houses in the World. You can Blame John Howard for that. Houses are for Housing PEOPLE . NOT the Favourite Investment for the entire country. Nev

    I mean weather stations and Balloons that do airmass analysis and pressure W/V ,Temps and humidity. . Nev

    Non science People think Science is JUST another Belief. They do NOT understand the scientific method. The Church opposed science a lot throughout the ages. Held back progress and in it's name Certain groups are still doing that now. Back to the Middle ages. Like Afghanistan and now parts of the USA. Nev

    Forecasts HERE in OZ are not That good especially beyond 6 days. You might wait forever for your window. Nev

    YOU accuse others of being selective but won't name YOUR sources. Bit weak don't you think?. Look up SAFETY issues with the Trident subs in Scotland, currently being addressed in the UK parliament. Even Coal burning sites have Environmental issues during their Life and after they are decommissioned and they commonly FAIL in a big way and can't be cranked up and down easily. Nev

    Going East. you can often outrun the weather Pattern at 120 Kts but you must still secure the Plane when on the ground. High wind speeds at Low levels are becoming more common in the South West. Watch how the weather Patterns move from now till you start. The General Movement is From WNW to ESE. Precipitation will normally come from around Broome when you are west of central SA. once you are as far east as Kalgoorlie. approx.. Nev

    Madame Curie didn't last long. When YOU are having an X ray the staff are behind lead sheets. Doctors advise not to have many of the one where you are injected with a radioactive isotopes before Imaging. Flight Crew get cancer from exposure to radiation at High altitudes. You don't have X rays IF you are Pregnant . Who wants to live NEAR a Nuclear Power station? Terrorists make "DIRTY" Bombs from the stuff you say you can eat. PS I think I know the Source of your info. Do yo wish to tell us?. Nev

    Exceedingly expensive and Harder to repair. More losses in transmission too I think. IF it was easy we'd be doing it. Nev

    How else does POWER get transmitted?. Nev

    That's why the WHOLE World hasn't found a satisfactory Place to store this stuff. It's UNSAFE for ages . Can get into water tables. Pumped hydro is just a one of MANY possible forms of storage... The water used is recirculated as many times as you like.. Nev

    Siso, 100's of thousands of years. That's not a perception. Pmcc THAT is a twisted representation of the reality. Renewables are an increasing PART of the Mix Also solar doesn't render paddocks unusable . You can still graze or cultivate beneath it, and Certainly not when it's on the roof of Bunnings which has a heavy connection to the Grid The SUN is nuclear and we wont change anything by utilising the sunlight that comes here anyhow. IT won't run out.. Burning coal and Nuclear ADD to the Heat already here. Nev

    Rod Stiff Deserves an OAM. CAMIT (Ian Bent) Unfortunately went broke. Gen 4 motors are not made here AFAIK but appear to be better in the combined Cylinder and head area. Nev

    Australia would HAVE TO be one of the best places for wind, solar, pumped hydro and batteries. Rapid response to demand changes is NOT provided by Coal OR Nuclear. The People who talk of baseload constantly mislead and NEW Coal and NUCLEAR are way too Expensive and Polluting and take a long time to build and are centralised (except for the SMR's which are still not economic.) None of the Retired British Nuclear Subs have disposed of their spent fuel. Grids are expensive unsightly and subject to weather events. Costly to maintain and repair, unreliable and very expensive for remote areas requiring constant attention to Voltage drop over large distances with transformers and losses. With Solar wind tidal with Batteries Whole areas could be independent of the grid. Who wants to LIVE near Coal Mines, Coal Power stations OR a Nuclear Power station that requires LOTS of water (which WE don't have). Nev.

    We are actually NOT Doing that BAD skip. Look up FACTUAL comparisons. Could you list a few of these SMALL Countries exporting to the World? A significant HOME Market does make a good base for Building a Business in Manufacturing. Exporting has risks beyond your control. Trump as an example. Nev

    Labor didn't get AUSTRALIA saddled with Aukus and they KNOW how reliable TRUMP ISN'T. There's a Best time and Place for everything and you don't run your plans on TV. US can't even produce their own requirements. It's been Hijacked from within and in danger of being a Lawless FAILED STATE, full of Corruption. Nev

    Thanks for that. Good luck with it. You should get there eventually.. Salt I DON'T like. Nev

    Watch out for Murphy's Law. Nev

    Maybe your set up is not standard? How many previous owners? Nev

    With Most things done by Robotics why does Cheap Labour matter so much with Manufacturing anymore.? Nev
