You just messed up the theory of chances having transporters like in Star Trek Alan

If the problem your experiencing suspected to do with spikes? If so, simply fit suppression - it won't hurt anything. Simple chockey's can be made with 8 - 10 coils of wire formed around a rod. Alan

If that's a link it is not working on my iPad 4 Alan

You can get digital multi-meters that read RMS, do tend to be a bit more expensive. Handheld battery service oscilloscopes are available from Maplins and RS, as there are converter adapters that will connect to a laptop. I ask why do you need RMS DC Voltage readout and seemingly need to look at the superimposed DC ripple wave form (true DC will not have a sign wave). If you exsplain what you want or need to achieve, we can perhaps better help you. As it is I fear you might be spending a fair few quid on kit you might use only a few times. Alan

Just thinking over this issue, what if you attach the brackets to the frames, then brackets to roof using car wheel studs and locking wheel nuts? Alan

Just some safety advice, do not disconnect bateries during or shortly after charging, as said earlier hydrogen gas is released. if in a confined space especially, the gas can explode violently spraying, ignited by a small spark, sulphuric acide and battery parts over you. Always best to at least wear safety glasses or better the type of face protectors used with strimmers, to protect your eye's - hard to pilot a boat using brail! My cheap as chips SOLAR 30 controller reports charging @ 14.3 with engine running, in fact it regulates the battery charging voltage. I don't have your make of inverter but my 2k rated inverter runs it's fan intermittently dependent on the load being drawn from it. Alan

I'f suggest to use 'rain off' or simular products to stop the streaking from calcium deposits and algae. Alan

We had a Welsh Border Collie who would chase polo mints, lick them up, spit them out and seemingly try 'putting them out' with her hind paws. We also had a dotty rotty, given a squeaky toy by our next door neighbour. She simply could not bare to part with it. To the point of instead of chasing cats or squirrels barking threatenningly, she squeaked due to toy in her mouth. Then on return scrape her paws in 'victory'. Funniest dog i ever had, and still miss badly after 10 years Alan

Hi all, Recently there has been a lot of coverage of these often high powered laser items shone at aircraft, trains even emergency services drivers by idiots. Well i'm wired a bit differently to most, connecting often unrelated situations together to solve problems. given the current weather and open doors/windows and in often a vain attempt to swat annoying house fly/s. Given flies have iirc hundreds of eyes - and no i eyelids ?, suddenly i thought if i got a military grade laser pointer could i dazzle the feindish fly and making it easier to swat or crash? So, anyone tried it? Alan

A work pal of mine when in my teens had a received a very expensive watch from his girlfriend as an engagement present, but he came looking very glum, on a Monday morning instead of his normally bright happy self. When i spoke to him - be blammed me??? Aparently he was working on his car and to protect this watch he decided to place it under the back wheel 'as the safest place' while it was up on ramps, as nothing could fall on it. Puzzled i said so what can be my fault? He decided to check the timing, he had a Morris 1000 rag top, me being ex-BMC garage background we had discussed how to. i suggested removing plugs, engaging gear and the pushing car back to align the timing marks, which he did - forgetting and crushing the precious watch! Ooops! Alan

Similar task, my cooker snd water heater are already installed and are isolated by a single cock. Our fridge was located under the captains chair made out if a kitchen cabinet that had been modified (just don't ask ?) fed from a separate bottle, located in a cage off the stern, 'arrangement' i wanted to change. Over this period i had the boat safety certificate renewed, we mentioned our intent to move fridge and asked for advice. Inspecter insisted on a cock was needed to isolate the fridge from the heater and the cooker, we are not talking much legnth in pipe, seemed to me a bit ott. from the cock on the top of the bottle, its about a meter to across a wardrobe to another cock, that then feeds a 'T', one side to cooker, other to the water heater. I could not see why i needed this further cock to isolate the fridge on such a small pipe network. I installed it to save an elongated discussion, just i do like to know the logic or reason behind anything do, because i beleive if you know this, you more likely to put more into achieving it ? BTW, maximum flexible pipe legnth (i eas told)is 1 meter.. Alan

Problem with fixed bars is not only the look but escaping in a fire situation. You could use 15mm copper water pipe held in place with pipe clips or kerry springe clips. Now position micro switches held in by the bars, or use surface contacts and hot melt their magnets inside the new bars. Any felone will dislodge the bars setting off a sounder as fhe attempt to enter. Alan

But not their 'aft end', their bodily functions can be close to a bio hazard! A freind of mine had one that if anyone sat on his comfy chair, could clear the room on demand - phewee! Alan

Apparently and eeirdly coincidentally, the same style of lock is used at Henly on Thames - as seen by the wife while out with extended family today. Two guys were operating it using a remote control consul, she spoke to them saying we use locks on the Lea, they were surprised manual locks were still in use. Wife don't read any of the boating forums, and why i say weirdly. thread is running at the time she visits an area with a near same lock we are talking about - given we live in Essex ? Alan
