Amazing, looks so real. https://www.steelydan.com/

I initially tried to do that, but my programming skills are not good enough. I tested at 1 'flashes' a second and it seemed fine (3.6 kW I think). At 10 flashes a second (36 kW) it lost about 10% as it wrote the logfile. Been trying to find a good way to log the pulses directly and log the collected from the LED pulses on the same RPi. Not had much luck yet, seems to slow it down quite a lot i.e. a few seconds to write to both log files.

Just like normal, start at the top and heat a bit up, then carefully scrape away.

As usual, when comparing lime and cement based render, finding real numbers for porosity, water retention, and vapour permeability is just about impossible. No wonder there is so much confusion.

Have you tried steaming it. I usually get most wall paints off with a wallpaper steamer. It can take a few minutes of steaming to get the really stubborn stuff off.

I think you are understanding it correctly. There is an optimum width for an air gap to reduce convection currents, for Windows it is about 16mm. It varies with height, more than width, but is affected by the dissimilar properties of the materials (the turbulence, not the materials). "All models are wrong: some models are useful"

Right where you will be fitting the panels, in January. You can encapsulate expanding foam over it. Or get a 'jamboy'. https://youtu.be/2KekuGUh6_c

Did you use the same code as I do, or have you refined it more? I cast the LED and magnet into a bit of flexible gas pipe.

Except for the trillions that have been spent on engineering and education. And it still kills on a regular basis.

Says, if I remember correctly, the man that drives without a seatbelt and refuses vaccinations.

An important point. It does not matter how brilliant the insulation properties are on paper, or of paper, if it is fitted badly, incorrectly, or is just unsuitable (water absorbing), then it will not perform as well as expected.

Thought I read they had been taken into public ownership already. Still, they have 3 new reactors about to come on stream. 1 in France and two in other places. Wouldn't it be great if a state backed company came to the UK, especially to a financially deprived area like the West Country, and build a new reactor. All those cheap, low carbon, electrons flowing down the M5. What is not to like.

As much as this does. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocuting_an_Elephant

Guessing here, does it mean electrical power

Gerald is in France. They probably have more sense than to design an organisation like MCS, but will have more administration, some will still be available in 500 years.

What is the temperature distribution for your weather. Extremes are all well and good, but they are just extremes.

Bristol City

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 And Amy Johnson of course.

Aeroplane don't.

Yes, it is good for rolling up bodies in.

It is about finer control of the heating distribution. There is not 'one size fits all' method to this, so certain generalisations have to be employed. Just stick to the rules and guidelines and all will be OK.

Document it all so we can see what is involved. Be an interesting project. May even post you one of my homemade energy loggers, could be useful data.

That would need a large vent hole cut into the van. The one I linked to just needs a small hole. If you ever go to to a shop that has a portable AC unit running at the back, point out that they are actually heating the shop, not cooling it. They need to draw in outside air and expel the hot air. So the working bit should really be outside.

Not really. Panasonic used to do them for under 300 quid, There is this one for under 400 https://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/tf-12000ch/telefunken-tf12000ch-air-conditioner-air-conditioner Not sure how much it would cost to get an F-Gas man in, but a few people have fitted them themselves.
