Lithium-ion battery fires generate their own oxygen and can be very difficult to extinguish FPA - why-do-lithium-ion-batterie...

Re: Road vehicle fires.

I am still confused why the pictures of the landrover on fire show it not parked in a parking bay but on the “ road” I don’t understand why the EV batteries are not encased in fire proof box, as battery fires still need air to burn. The batteries don’t need to breathe as far as I am aware. Watched t...

Re: Road vehicle fires.

I read that with the Luton fire, there weren’t any fire extinguishers on the floor when the fire was first spotted, and by the time someone had got an extinguisher it was too late. Friend of mine who works in fire prevention says that people take fire extinguishers all the time, gawd knows why… scra...

Just been looking online at a £6M house near Matlock. It's got an office section (old school) with enough room for an Owston like event. :)
That’s to close for comfort, Essex gives us a nice buffer zone :D

Re: Something Stirs in the Workshop

Successful morning of testing on Saturday with Dave. He thinks they are worthy of the WAM show. Did some further measuring and refinement, the troublesome bit is the LF where i think room modes are dominating. As when i reduce the output by 2db i get 4-6db of reduction in the room, which suggests co...

Re: What Are You Listening To Right This Minute?

Testing the new speakers out…. Playing Gaza - all 17 mins of it. It’s a good track to test out speakers, if you can listen to it all the way through, the speakers are a winner.

Dave’s coming around Saturday to see if they are worthy of bringi...
