    Global Helium demand regularly exceeds supply. If we were a little smarter in Oz, we would separate, recover and sell the Helium that is currently vented to the atmosphere from our LNG plants.

    Naturally occurring Uranium decays to Thorium and Helium. Helium being very light and inert, migrates through the Earth’s crust, and is commonly associated with natural gas when it similarly becomes trapped in reservoirs. Does that help?

    A bit of thread drift here, but we should be a little more stringent with how Helium is utilised. It is a finite non-recoverable and non-renewable resource. Once released into the atmosphere, it keeps going and ultimately ends up in space. Once we use up what’s left on Earth, which may occur in less than the next 100 years, it’s gone.

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11-12/3g-shutdown-connectivity-complaints-from-wa-farmers/104585296 Hmmmmmm. Have we been conned by the telcos ?

    Maybe a little drift from the thread, but here is the anticipated change in fuel quality for Australia. Of course Australia now imports the majority of our finished fuels which may or may not exceed this standard already.

    “all our Mogas fuels have too much sulphur” Hopefully that will change on December 15 this year.

    Yeah, I had a go with glue and tape, but sadly it didn’t last long. I’ve got a really tight hose clamp over the crack now, but that probably just hides it.😏

    I have one of these if that helps, but it is constructed of aluminium, not steel…….and it has a crack on the bend of the handle. It appears this point is where all of the ‘flex’ force becomes focussed when the wheel attachment points are opened out, and ultimately fails. It’s a pity - the lightweight is great, but trying to repair thin aluminium tubing is a tad tricky.

    Thanks for the heads-up Garfly. Nicely produced vids.😎

    Mr Sheen has been used a lot on aircraft windscreens, but prolonged use (years) on some grades of Perspex will eventually make it dull. Mr Sheen contains paraffins and uses a butane propellant.

    Charger with CO detector It ain’t cheap, but it has a unique feature.

    Perspex windscreens ? dilute baby shampoo mixed up in a trigger spray bottle, wipe off with a microfibre cloth. Baby shampoo is a low foaming detergent (not soap) …..and gentle on your baby !

    RFG - how do you interpret this marketing gumpf ? Is this ‘battery management system’ there just to protect the battery, with no downstream consideration to the aircraft electrics / avionics if the battery decides to suddenly ‘protect’ itself ? Interested to hear your thoughts on this. LiPO4 battery technologies clearly have some pros, but good to know the cons as well.

    Johnson’s baby shampoo ?

    The marketing spiel that comes with them is…… ”come with a battery management system that includes over-discharge protection, redundant charge and discharge circuits, local LED battery fault indicator and remote battery monitoring connection via EFIS or panel mounted LED light “

    I note that Rotax is now re-branding and selling EarthX LiPo4 batteries.

    Oh, and this bit too…. • Extend existing subsidises for the purchase of ADS-B OUT equipment. Existing funding programs will be extended to 30 June 2027 and expanded in scope to include upgrades of equipment to ADS-B IN capabilities in some circumstances.

    Relevant extract from White Paper……… • Keep the skies safe by reducing collision risk between drones and crewed aircraft. We have established a cross-agency working group, involving the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts, CASA and Airservices Australia, to advise on implementing a universal ADS-B mandate, across all Australian airspace, for both visual and instrument flight operations. The working group will report to government by late 2025.

    I hope they have deep pockets. I wonder who’s financing them ?
