Hi Clive, I was interested to see your experiences of towing with the Prius, it's good to know that you can if needed. I is my belief that the restriction must...
I could never see the problem with trailer towing, as not being able to tow a trailer is similar to not being able to go up hills, and I don't think Toyota...

With all the pipes now insulated, it's working nicely. I suspect it will meet 60 to 70% of our hot water needs, a success. The two 'twenty tube' panels came...
My solar thermal system, 2 sq metres flat plate, has made nearly all our hot water since we installed it in April. Our PV system, about 2.4kW peak, has made...
That sounds pretty impressive, Nick. How big are the PV's to get 2.4kW, please? I would be expecting them to be fairly large, given that the UK is not well...
Hi all, I dont know if anyone can help me on this but I have a pto driven saw bench which I am hoping to convert to diesel engine powered. Does anyone know if...
Well the fitters have been and fitted a new gridtie converter about two months ago, and it has only generated 2kW since, not good. The cut in speed of the...
I ment 2kWh As it happens, the machine hasn't stopped spinning for about two days in the windy weather and has produced about 100watt hours a day, still not...
Hi Gang, I've been busy with the Windsave, I made a simple friction cuff to damp the swinging motion of the machine in bumpy roof top air, and have fitted a...
... Good! Then our 5 thousand pounds investment in it might begin to bear fruit. Global warming should increase windspeeds hereabouts due to local ...

Dear Beyond' members, I am in Wales on an off the grid smallholding. I offer free accomodation plus shares in a ltd company to somebody to move here, help...
Well, Adam, I really would love to help! But there's the wife, kids, mortgage to think about, alas. But I suspect you will have to derive the steam heating...
Adam, I would strongly suggest solar energy for the source of heat. You would need some monster sized (expensive) wind turbines to create the amount of...

Heat sources in Wales - OK, why not cut the bracken down (when it's dry, natch), and BURN it?? Or could you get all the cows to FART into a big gas bag? The...
