Yip retired industrial spark.

Hope you don’t mind me pitching in, trying to understand your system as I am I think wanting to do something similar. If I understand correctly your original 4kW system is probably 10 to 12 years old and getting a FIT payment. You have since added a 1.8kW system. My question is how have you combined them without affecting your FIT contract but still be grid tied and using the extra energy generated? Apologies for being nosey but it professional interest and apologies for thread derail.

Need to learn hedge laying now🙂

It will be next for a bit of electrolysis. what type of implement would you describe that head as?

Look what I found in the woods today. No not the steel rule.

Petzl Tandem, works a treat

‘Tis a good question, I was using it to tension 55m of 12mm wire rope for a zip line so it is at that height to give it the correct droop height at the end of the run, just for us big kids and the little ones to play on.

Ohhh that wouldn’t be a good day.

You won’t regret getting one either a Tirfor or the clone I have both, they have saved me many a time because as well as the tree stuff it has pulled quad bikes, loaders and pickup trucks out of the mud, it also pulled a transit out of a ditch, and I use it for tensioning a zip line. It is the 1.6t ones I use, and probably use it once or twice a month.

I also found a motorbike front tyre works for me as storage method for the wire rope, there is a technique for putting it into and removing it from the tyre without dealing with loads of kinks. Which is basically rolling the tyre to remove the rope.

I’ve had to resort to a scaffold tube before, bit sloppy but did the job.

Yip I would be trying to make it using a pillar drill, hacksaw, files and marking blue,

My favourite way of rust removal (just done two vices) is electrolysis, 1/2 cup of washing crystals from supermarket, old fashioned battery charger, bucket with some water, couple bits of wire connect it all up and 8 hours water all the rust is floating on the top of the water.

Great thread gents, I’m impressed and now want a 3D printer, don’t know CAD though so would have to be a learning curve my old brain would have to climb.

I presume from your post here and other similar style posts you are trying to judge the commercial viability of supplying such products from Eastern Europe. Nothing wrong with that, just trying to judge what the point of your posts are.

I ain’t changing from using my own kindling, because it’s free so why would I buy wool fire lighters?
-
Well that’s that stove jinxed then isn’t it🙂

Just having a google, look up a UT320D, might be of use, can’t say if it is any good as I have not used it.

You could get get one of the cabled digital thermometers the type that are used on the likes of bbq’s. I have the probe stainless steel cable tied onto my stove pipe work. It is either 250 or 300 deg C it goes up to, but as mine has a back boiler on it I struggle to get any serious heat into the flue pipe when burning wood, although every now and again I will do a coal burn if it is very cold and or it is time to give the fire box, pipework and chimney a good roasting.

Stop calling me surely -
Just a thought and I might be talking rubbish, but another benefit of keeping your revs on the low side is that the cooling fan (if it is direct drive) will be going slower and so spray up less water around the engine.

Yip it will just be a case of raking through the very large box of power supplies that I have and seeing what is 15A or over.

Bare cable ends, the positive lead is fused at 20A with a car style fuse. The 12V demand is only big at start up so any car, leisure or lithium jump pack battery should do the trick.
