  1. Can you use a pressure vessel to store the water. It may be called an accumulator. Usually used to flatten out pressure fluctuations when load is greater than inflow can cope with.
  2. Down here, 'local' can take a dislike to people. I have seen up country folk driven out of towns because of constant narking and rumours. All totally unfounded. Then there is the use of social media, and as one old loony does, posts up diatribes on lampposts about non specific individuals who may, or may not, have done anything wrong, or intend to do anything wrong. Very effective. Onan hag oll
  3. It probably uses less energy, but that may be more to do with the overall losses of the actual oven, rather than the amount of energy that the food takes to warm.
  4. Some of it will depend on what you want your food to look, and taste, like after heating. A microwave is very good for heating/reheating, not so good for the Maillard reaction, which is what can cause complex flavours to emerge. Try doing cheese on toast to see what can go wrong. As an aside, microwaves do not cook from the inside, that is just a myth.
  5. Can you redo those calculations for people who do not have access to the gas network?
  6. Bit in radio about air fryers. Seems they can cook small amounts of food, with smaller amounts of energy. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0018hjr
  7. Not pollen that makes your nose run, and your arse smell. It's because you are built upside down.
  8. I owned a BL Allegro. Not had a BL car since.
  9. How big is your array, 2 hectares. Think you mean MWh.
  10. Because we know that, generation is significantly reduced. It is reduced, in part, to keep the return on investment high. Having seen the price of my E7 night rate go from a little over a third of the day rate to over half the day rate, and the biggest change in the last two years, I would not be investing in the long term reliability of twin tariffs.
  11. Either a manual or automatic change over breaker. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Automatic-Transfer-Switch-Circuit-Breaker/dp/B07R599LYP
  12. That is the idea of these grants. But if the market can stand a higher price, and suppliers are wanting to have financially sustainable long term business, the paying public have to pay the going rate. It is not right that we have a race to the bottom on prices as that does no one any favours: company's vanish and consumers get sub standard goods and services.
  13. You need planning permission to go over 9m² on a ground array. Do the existing modules need a good clean?
  14. Don't they, and other critters, invade the house. Would play havoc with my hayfever.
  15. My Mother took a third of our take home as 'keep'. Was okay when to took home 30 quid. Soon became cheaper to buy my own place. Seems odd that a flat that cost me 17k was cheaper than living with my Mother. Rented it out, when off to university, sold it 3 years after purchase, worked out the place had given me a wage of 500 a year. And had a big deposit for the next place. What you going to do when that price plan becomes unsustainable, pretend it is still there?
  16. We called him Brick. Not because he was solid, but because he was dense. There is a story, after I had been told to leave, about him being tied to a bed and pleasured. No idea if it is true or not.
  17. Was at school with a lad from your neck of the woods, he liked it so much that he held the school record for beatings. You probably know him, name is Tim Simpson.
  18. So it was @jack’s fault? Surely not And I was thinking it was because an ex of mine had moved to his village. I always suggest that people run to the hills.
  19. Ever day, it is part of my job. Mine can combine the microwave and the fan oven to speed things up more. When I boil anything, I boil the water in the kettle and then poor just enough into the pan. Faster and uses less energy. Yesterday, as an experiment, I did a load of washing at 40°C and a load at 30°C. 0.4 kWh and 0.18 kWh. Shame the a 30°C wash don't get the clothes clean enough.
  20. Mug of tea takes 0.3 kg of water. So you are boiling enough to make 16 mugs. The remainder can be used to wash the mugs and spoon up in.
  21. So installed badly in the first place. PV is so reliable that it is only in an extreme case that you would need to go back. (Once had the electrician fit the wrong inverter, picked up the wrong box)
