Re: Is Hydrogen the Answer ?

Whilst I have been going on about Hydrogen as a fuel for vehicles I have just come across another very important way in which Hydrogen could help save the Planet. I think on this subject it is as well to have a broad outlook and an open mind. https://salcos.salzgitter-ag.com/en/index.html?gclid=Cjw...

Re: Is Hydrogen the Answer ?

It will not be a few years before we see hydrogen powered vehicles. There are currently hydrogen powered busses running in UK Switzerland Italy Germany and Norway. There are passenger trains running in UK and Germany and a few test cars in Wales. I cannot believe that they would be doing so if safet...

Re: Is Hydrogen the Answer ?

So the argument for Hydrogen seems to pin on relying on Big Business to put common sense and decency before profit. Nothing could possibly go wrong there then. There is nothing wrong with making a profit. If there was no profit there would be no money for Research & Development and nothing woul...

Lots of substances are dangerous if not looked after correctly [ Ammonium Nitrate at Beirut ] and I am sure people dealing with Hydrogen will make sure all safeguards are in place for distribution and use.

Re: Is Hydrogen the Answer ?

It must be wonderful to know more about a subject than all the companies, world wide, know about Hydrogen. They admit that there are dangers and, I am sure, are working to minimise them. After all Petrol can be dangerous. https://www.manufacturing.net/automotive/news/21796374/toyota-testing-hydrogen...

Is Hydrogen the Answer ?

Some of you may know that I am a great believer in the fact that Hydrogen Power will answer a lot of the World Climate problems. There is a very interesting article about Hydrogen that whilst concentrating on Scotland is expandable to the whole UK given the Natural Gas infra structure down all of th...

The Flintstones.

I’ve just seen on a Middle Eastern TV Channel that the U A E are about to ban it from showing ‘ The Flintstones’ as the Government claim it is in adulterated English and people cannot understand it. The National Newspaper has conducted a poll and it turns out that actually 93.7 % of the population o...

Re: Amazon delivery

Recent deliveries from Amazon.de have been good but sometimes what you order from Germany comes from China or UK, that is when you get a problem. I make sure that anything I order is from a eu country now. I had a problem with one order ass one of the items was in another Amazon depot and they don't...

Idle mag 250 box

We used to pay for a subscription T V but rarely watched it, we also have a Clear Stream system. We now have a redundant box. Is there some way that we can use it for a Freeview backup.

Re: Fight to the death

I have done a bit of reading. Apparently what happens is the hornet paralyses the spider flips it over and drags it to a burrow, lays an egg then seals it up. The egg hatches and the young hornet eats the spider as it grows leaving the vital organs till last, to keep it as fresh as possible. Lovely....

Fight to the death [ video added ]

We have just witnessed the most amazing sight. I don't know who started it but a fight between a hornet and a tarantula was taking place about a yard from us. The hornet won. After the kill it kept going away and coming back, it then dragged the dead tarantula behind a pot and hid it. I presume it w...
