  13. I had to give-up my father's ' Amy rifle ' , I even had it licensed & in a shooting club . But Coming to Australia meant , those legal firearms, would have been scrapped . Before any questions were asked . ' Past down through generations ' only to be lost to bureaucracy. my youngest daughter had to purchase someone's else's rifle , here in Australia. spacesailor

  15. "Recycling " . All of Europe s milk bottles were washed & reused. The. Bottle manufacturer r said they can make those bottles cheaper than washing ! . Now can some-one, find a good economic use for " Crushed glass " . It could be used instead of course sand . In ' Concrete/ Mortar/ Road bitumen mix , etc. We will soon have a mountain of recycled glass . spacesailor
  16. I'm not find that number of charging stations wherever I need them . Local supermarket has one ! . Not so good as I expected. Then I did the Dubbo to Parramatta on a electric car charge map . A complete failure . Just couldn't find those that where they were supposed to be ! . Neighbour has a Tesla 3 , & even he had trouble going to Brisbane for a holiday . spacesailor
  17. A squirter of H . Will that move a stubborn engine , that's what SYB does marvellously I converted an IC car to ethanol, by putting a thick " head-gasket " in to lower the ComRat . Worked OK. But heavy fuel use . spacesailor
  18. How far would would that litte canister of H , take a two ton 6 cylinder car . spacesailor PS. : what would be the IC modifications to use H. An IC motor will run on " Start y B " but no one would risk their motor
  19. No one noticed that the two pinion gears , on thar crankshaft both turn clockwise yet the crown wheel requires one clockwise and one anticlockwise. Did they use " magic ' ! . spacesailor
  20. Some sense at last ! . ' legal to fly ' , if flown ! . Illegal to fly ! . If not flown ! . What ' lawyer-speak ' rubbish is this ' . ( the grandfather clause ) spacesailor PS. : If you say it did fly . You get fined for operating an unregistered aircraft . Catch 22

Who reported at a very late date , they were sent to the tip as not saleable. So try to find a good home for them, not relying on people who have no interest in them . spacesailor
