Quite right. They could use watch batteries, since they are proven to last two or three years each. Night would hold no terrors with this sort of thinking. ;) |

| 1153158 | 2010-11-17 03:51:00 | When I was with DSIR, we were always getting 'brilliant' backyard NZ inventors submitting perpetual motion designs, usually old boys in their 60s - 70s. At one time if the inventor knew the PM of the day or the minister of science, and many did, it being a small country and having been to school together etc, then we used to get threatened by them when they were told to go away. Eventually, there was an official edict that said we were to summarily dismiss such ideas. There was one disgruntled inventor who bore a grudge against DSIR for not taking his water powered engine seriously, and kept bleating on for years about it on various forums. Haven't seen him lately :rolleyes: |

| 1153159 | 2010-11-17 21:56:00 | In Australia wew have seen the greatest example of nuclear hypocracy on record. The F/witted green tinged Luddite Labour Government will not have a bar of Nuclear Power generation in Australia because of fear of the Nuclear Bogeyman, in spite of Australia having one of the highest per capita carbon emmissions in the world because of coal fired power generation. This same F/Witted green tinged Luddite Labour Government, has agreed to sell uranium to Russia with no strings attached, to assist them in cutting carbon emmissions by building more nuclear power stations and reduce their dependency on coal fired electricty generation. A nice exercise in enviromental logic I agree with the sale, I disagree with continuing to burn coal to generate electricity - use coal to make synthetic liquid fuels - the Germans waged WW2 on synthetic fuel from coal, until allied bombing destroed all the manufacturing plants. ( Mind you they used unpaid labour to mine the coal) |
