He is doing about 50 Miles around Town on a Packet of Crisps and a Pork Pie, I don't remember seeing a bottle of Ionic Drink, with such economy with a Eco sustainable fuel, the future has got to be looking Rosie.

Well, apart from the fact that Dave is already there, there is an argument that meat isn't a sustainable fuel.JohnG wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 7:26 pm If you want to talk about Range and Carbon Neutral,

Mad indeed. Those units each contain 57F @ 94.5V... that works out at approximately A QUARTER OF A MILLION JOULESAli Tait wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 12:18 pm Look at this madness-
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Maxwell-Supe ... .l4275.c10
The caps are about 50 quid each normally, so that's 1750 quid just for those... Each cap has a max ESR of 0R035 so the box as a whole comes in at 1R, thus peak current is 95A and peak power is 9KVA and that can be delivered for 28 seconds.
If the caps were not welded it'd be a bargain!

Mr Bass is already doing his bit as he doesn't eat meat - his favourite lunchtime fuel involves a copious helping of piccalilli
I still eat some meat but considerably less than I used to and now mostly chicken or fish. Lots more fruit, veg and fibre nowadays.

I remember going to a pub in The Dales not long after I went veggie, over 20 years ago. We've been going there over 30 years and I knew the menu was based on cow and pig, and gingerly asked if they might be able to rustle something up for me as I was now veggie.
The landlord had a think and suggested, genuinely, that he might be able to find some chicken in the freezer. I politely declined explaining again that I was veggie.
The look on his face was priceless - somewhere between finding out that Thatcher was a actually a man and someone defacating in his hand as he replied "Yer dunt eat chicken???!!!" Think I had sausage egg and chips, without the sausage.

Ahh ! It looks like I have accidentally give D' the B' a Mis-fueling .
I like to think of myself as a type of Vegetarian, as everything I like to eat, used to be a Vegetarian when it was alive.

S'true! What with my superb fitness and diet regime (bwahahahahaha etc etc) I went sooooo far beyond carbon neutral that I've had to cut down on the cycling, eat more crisps and do more motorcycling to even up the balance.

So, as you're such an exemplar of a carbon sink, we need to prevent you being exposed to the atmosphere least you release too much ozone-depleting gas (probably too late for that!) and precipitate a global warming catastrophy...
Ergo, you should save the planet by wrapping yourself in cling film (single use plastic), grabbing some breeze blocks and jumping into the North Sea. A deep bit.
Or not, as the case may be...

You don't eat Chicken or Pork?
