Kelvin vs Lumen

The "Kelvin" relates, in this case, to colour temperature - there is very good Wiki on it : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_temperature

Can an Outback run on biodiesel?

The industrial process is far more complex & yields a much superior product - the crude oil (after filtration, removal of water & acid) is reacted with an alkoxide (typically sodium methoxide) , glycerine removed (as it should not be in final product) with the resultant product being the methyl este...

Which TV would you get?

I would never get another Samsung - their customer service is a disgrace. The TV was faulty when delivered - the most recent service under warranty took 6 weeks waiting for the main board to arrive - no TV for the duration.

Brumby Sound System

I am finally finished the mechanical work on my Brumby & wanting to put in an efficient sound system. Doing the rounds of the "experts" in the major car audio suppliers I get the following recommendations as to the optimum way to go: (i) 4" in door, sub behind seats, amp (ii) 6" splits (door , top o...

I read through the website - the two great promotional events "Uworldweb" and "solo Global Sail" dont seem to be mentioned anywhere else; there is no contact name/address for this group; all photos seem to come from PETA. The holiday promotion looks ridiculous I hope I am wrong but this looks like a...

I was enthusiastic about this and still have some plans to give his a go - When I tried to discuss the same topic here there was at least one person that was being all scientific about it (that's you in this case Jimmy G)



Ok....in future I will drink more & become less rational :)

"It is just a name popularized by Yull Brown for HHO" There is no such thing as HHO. Electrolysis of water to produce oxygen and hydrogen (in volumentric ratios 1:2; in mass ratios 32:4) has been around for 200 years ; Brown decided to call it Browns Gas (a term well loved by pseudoscientists) and i...

"Hydrogen is only an energy storage medium, after all, not a fuel. "

It comes down to this - if you can break an O-H bond in water using less energy than is liberated when it is reformed, a Nobel Prize awaits you & a total rewriting of the laws of physics and thermodynamics will be the consequence. You cant get energy for nothing and doing this type of electrolysis (...
