Dry rub on transfers perhaps? This sort of thing: https://www.google.com/search?client=opera&q=white+number+rub+on+transfers

'A UK-based project has successfully tested the “world’s first” hydrogen-electric boat powered by a printed circuit board fuel cell (PCBFC™). Funded by the Energy Entrepreneurs Fund as part of the Net Zero Innovation Portfolio, the HyTime project, led by Bramble Energy, recently concluded real-world testing. Bramble Energy, in collaboration with custom engine builder Barrus, designed a 57ft narrowboat to demonstrate the potential of PCBFC™ technology.' https://www.energylivenews.com/2024/01/18/uks-first-hydrogen-boat-tests-innovative-fuel-cell-tech/

If you have the power to run one, they are great. Not fat free though, for chips you still need about a tablespoon of oil. My Tefal ActiFry has a paddle that turns over the chips as they cook, no need to open part way through cooking time to shake them

😂

Getting back to the original question. The magnetic eddies part of the description is true, but they miss out the next step. Those eddies induce a current that heats the iron pan due to resistance in the metal. Technically, aluminium and copper can be heated by an induction method, if the frequency of the induction current is high enough, and Panasonic have a "Met-All" hob that does that. Presumably cost is a factor in making such a device, as they only sell one for commercial kitchens. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/panasonic-introduces-groundbreaking-new-induction-cooktop-providing-extraordinary-commercial-cooking-performance-with-all-kinds-of-metal-cookware-300404902.html P.S. I have an induction hob in my bricks and mortar home and love it 🙂

There is no ban on two-stroke bikes as such, but emissions standards for new builds have pretty much killed them off. There is at least one company working on a bike that can meet the standard, but who knows if they will succeed?

On that budget I don't think I'd be getting a survey, but I'd like to see it out of the water as well as afloat. This link is from the US of A and not canal boat specific, but it does give plenty of tips on what to look out for. A small brass hammer for tapping the hull is a great tip, hollow or dull sounds aren't good http://www.pcmarinesurveys.com/Marine Survey 101.htm
