Serves him right.

Truffle shuffle!

Amazing. I must have watched this 20 times over the weekend. One of the most beautiful videos I've seen on the sift.

I use the same thing when riding my trail bike.

Got to stop at some lights, but only briefly and don't want to put your feet down?

Clutch in and set the revs at a high tick-over, perhaps 2,000RPM. Then release the clutch just a little until it just starts to catch and hold it there.

The big-end spins and helps keep you stable. Also helps if you stop on your front brakes then press and hold the back brake keeping the shocks compressed.

Sure, but it doesn't have to be a conspiracy to be a problem. For me it boils down to an irresponsible media with no real commitment to good journalism.

I too was impressed with the engineer's candidness with respect to the potential environmental impact.

Been playing 0.8 a couple of days now and it rocks.

Interesting post, but it seems its not for real.

That's the second one which had been deleted. Why?

They did a good job.

A neat trick but not at all secure.

My favourite line from this movie is "You can't fight in here, this is the war room!"

Yeah, great post.

The science on the sift is great, I'm new and it's what attracted me here, plus the cat videos .

It's the same set-up...

Electrolysis powered by the excess energy from photo-voltaic cells, where hydrogen and oxygen are stored as a gas and then used in hydrogen fuel cell to create electric current as required.

To me the revelation here isn't so much the solar power; the increase in efficiency of photo-voltaic cells is exciting, but not new conceptually.

Storing the fuel locally as gas, then using a hydrogen fuel cell to generate the electric current is however very nice as domestic scale systems go.

Big though, isn't it?

I'm still trying to understand precisely how the energy in the system works from a physics point of view; if they're using an electrolyte, and why noble metal components are used. Any help?
