  1. Says EDF, who owns all the nuclear generation.
  2. So lower efficiency modules then, and more expensive. Any idea how/where the wiring goes? Surely it is easier to design in PV right from the start, than try and adapt existing systems (for new build). So what are the figures Wp.m-2 and efficiency for these modules?
  3. No different from any roof intergrated system on looks really. Except you are paying for the roof covering in this case, rather than some 30 quid GSE module trays and no roof covering.
  4. What a fantastic roof. So much potential for shading.
  5. You could get one of these: 482131 Digital Pump Flow Meter Fuel Diesel Kerosene Line Pipe Counter https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KBYXDNG/ And use in conjunction with a dipstick or level gauge. Would take a few days to work out the calibration, but would be useful anyway to see daily or weekly usage.
  6. And often not a nice cube, but oval in cross section. I would have thought that the tanker guage was calibrated and had an up to date certificate.
  7. One problem with measuring volume is that the density of the liquid changes with temperature. The UK has only just started to fit temperature compensation to transport fuel pumps. Nice to know, for the same price, I get a few kWh extra energy in the winter. You may be able to get an ultrasonic flow meter, but probably expensive and not that reliable. The best way is load sensors on the feet of the storage tank. Then you can calculate from the specific energy density, correctly. We should really but fuel by the kg or MJ, not volume.
  8. I used to make log saunas, it looks like one of them. just torch it.
  9. Would it be worth putting an Ohm meter across the relay terminals and seeing what it reads. If the resistance can be established, it may indicate what sort of heating element is there. I would assume it is a fairly low powered one, 200W or something, so around 265 Ω
  10. Whose? Not sure if it is possible to do one on Trump, to the best of my knowledge he only acts like a vagina. Still, will make him a silent, irritating, little fart.
  11. Buy a small, cheap one. Go carefully.
  12. As not many companies make compressors, can it be identified. Is there a part number on it? Them maybe find some details about it on line. Maybe here.
  13. You can square, then root, the result. Still not sure what you are trying to achieve here, if I am honest.
  14. A new girlfriend for Christmas (just the week) if they have one going spare.
  15. This is what we do down here. VID_20211221_175557525.mp4
  16. Killer wot our
  17. My house is the the same as my neighbours house. Asked how many rolls if wallpaper they bought to decorate front room. 12 was the reply. Bought 12, decorated and had 4 rolls left. Told neighbour this and he said. So do I
  18. Often caused by solar gain through very large, badly orientated windows. When the Aircon broke in our house in the West Indies, sleeping on the floor did not help. We ended up going to the beach and slept there. Where we lived was windy, dry and not exceptionally hot, I miss it.
  19. If the compressor is running, it won't be the starting capacitor.
  20. Or not. kWh. W for watt, named after Watt. Only use Watt if refering to the man, or at the begining of a sentence.
  21. Having been up at my Mother's house that has a very expensive tiled kitchen floor, I would avoid it. What looked nice years ago now looks dated, and chipped/cracked. I have parquet flooring, which I like as I grew up with it, but most people dislike it now.
  22. You don't mean that. It could be 7 kWh, or 168 kWh. (not kw, or kwh)
  23. yes, and if I was building, I would take time off work and spend it all with tapes, tars, adhesives, rolls of membrane, GRP and a home made tester. I am surprised that the volume manufactures don't have the kits available and test places as they go. £5k of kits, £35 k/year to employ someone. 1000 houses and the cost is £40/house. 160 kWh of electricity.
  24. Totally reliant on the workers though. I am not saying that any other type does not suffer from bad work, but factory built is better than onsite built by design, why it is done that way. Ideally the @50Pa test would be 2 not 10, and a £100k cash back insurance if it fails a retest after a decade.
