  5. I quite like the idea of a sunken bath.
  6. That's an idea - thanks. I take it a pc fan won't be damaged with under-voltage?
  7. Thanks How big are they? I want to mount one in a 4" soil pipe so needs to be no more than about 100mm diameter. Cooling air

  9. That's what I'm concerned about - too high/low voltages. Thanks for the input, but zenners and resistors are above me. Mechanically I am well experienced, but I'm not so good with electrickery. I know sparks, heat and smoke should stay inside the wires - any more complicated than that just confuses me. ??? "I'm an ex-tractor fan" is the punchline - the rest you probably heard already.
  10. It has to be separate - the fan will be mounted in a plastic pipe.
  11. Not boat related, but I'm in need of a little advice.... I'm building a small project and need a computer fan to only run only when the sun shines. Is it possible to connect (via a fuse) the pc fan directly to a small (20w?) solar panel without problems. I'm concerned whether the fan motor will be damaged when not getting 12v always(comparing varying voltage during sun up/sun down, overcast or full sun) Will this work? Alternatively I could use a battery to provide constant 12v and a light sensor to switch on/off with light levels. TBH I would rather keep it simple if possible. Any thoughts?
  12. Ammunition for the local scrotes to throw at the boats? You can never win. ??
  13. Not so verile if she can "do" 7 per hour???
  14. You're bodge idea may work but I would use liquid metal (Belzona) rather than the repair putty type materials. I would first clear out as much grease from the nipple hole as possible and fill the hole with thickish oil (engine oil would be ok). Leave overnight to creep through into the bearing just to get some lube in there. Next degrease the hole and nipple with brake cleaner or similar, smear a little Belzona on the nipple threads and screw it in by hand. After this has hardened then build up around to strengthen it. TBH - after buying Belzona and degreaser you would maybe cheaper buying a new bearing. If it is screeching now, as you say you think it is, it's maybe time for a new bearing anyway.

  17. I suggest painting vertical black stripes and changing the name to The Golden Tiger GRRRRREAT....
  18. Nowt wrong with a bit of mould. It's just penicillin - well known to kill off corona.......... Probably fake news - but you never know
  19. VNC, VNC, VNC That's mostly what I get now God, I hate changes I like sponge cake though???
  20. Rocket mass heater Very efficient but heavy and maybe not BSS compliant
