The seeds fall down to earth with the water droplets that they started, so seeds are consumed straightaway. That's why seeding are not so widely used, otherwise Sahara would have been turned back to lush green forests.

That article contains a lot of errors.

The amount of iodine dust that a small plane can spread is tiny compared to the amount of rainfall (some 250mm in 3 days, average annual rainfall 95mm) and on such a wide area. it does not matter much anyway if an experiment went wrong. It's not as if the seeds can multiply, we are talking...

How much vapour goes into the clouds must eventually come out as rain (or vapour) or else where would that water go?

Avoid buying batteries from China, no matter how good the price is.

A rise in temperature increases evaporation, that we can all agree. Water in the clouds will have all to come down, so a rise in temperature leads to heavier rainfall.

Aikema / tongsheng parts are commonly sold on amazon.

EVs are too expensive to buy new, depreciate too quickly and expensive to insure. I think I'll wait for the technology to mature a bit more.

which bikes have you tried before? They are so close to you, I would pop in and try the Wayfarer at least as a basis for comparison.

From an OEM point of view, there is a lot in support of a torque system. For a start, it is simpler. Not for kits, but for factory built bikes. Simplicity brings reliability, less support is needed therefore brings total cost of sale and ownership down. From customers point of view, torque...

Aikema has a similar motor that will enter the market soon. I will post details when I get them.

One good thing with a combo of torque sensing and throttle is people tend to use lower assist level on flatish roads and throttle to climb hills. That gives a good fat burn rate and avoid straining your knees and leg muscles on hills.

Yes, I think it's possible. That bike has a large frame, not unlike your old Rocky Mountain. If you can fit a piece of cardboard 10cm x 36cm then you can fit an HL battery. Do you want to buy it? I have already got a 10kg full sus bike, I can't justify another one.

there are only a few settings you can change in a JLCD: the clock, tyre diameter, speed limit. AS the values are stored in the JLCD and load into the controller when you switch on the bike, if your JLCD is locked, you are stuck with the preset values.

that Rocky Mountain is a lovely bike.

at the moment, the kit for the Brompton comes with Lishui LSW947 with standard Julet waterproof connectors, the wiring is compatible with 36V controllers using Julet connectors. I am prototyping the new Tongsheng hub kit. It may replace Lishui controllers in the near future.

the TSDZ8 comes with a throttle, he does not have to worry about steep hills.

Heavy riders are best with front hubs, as others have pointed out. A large rear hub motor will shorten the spokes considerably, lessening the weight the rear wheel can support without regular spoke maintenance. If you live in a hilly area, converting a bike with a crank drive like the Tongsheng...

you should not attempt to open your battery.

your JLCD may be locked. If that is the case, there is no more you can do.
