    Review What is your hub 'freewheel' time? Rolling resistance comparison

    The bike is a Woosh Gran-Camino. The hub motor is Shengyi DGW22C. The throttle is used to bring the bike to 15mph legal speed limit then the power is cut (when you hear 'go' at time = 0). It takes about 24 seconds to slow the wheel to a halt.

    fission reactors are a short term solution until fusion but the thorium reactors are no better than tried and tested uranium ones. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2011/jun/23/thorium-nuclear-uranium I do like the idea of the travelling wave nuclear reactors though.

    How heavy are you? If you weigh under 16 stone, I think road legal crank drives will do.

    there is no need to be an expert in law to understand the basics. I have a little early advantage, one of my uni friends is a now retired professor in laws at University of Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis so I was primed into the basics 'nul ne peut ignorer la loi' when I was at uni.

    that's because you don't understand international laws. They can choose where they want to go. They transit many countries, the last one being France before reaching the UK. It's up to our Courts to decide if they should be given leave to remain and for how long. Not Border Force.

    they can leave because they are not criminals. You should try to see things from the boat people's point of view.

    these things can easily be addressed in the eventual certification process.

    Do PF30 type PAS sensors exist?

    stick the sensor directly onto the seat tube with a bit of sticky pad to see the difference compared to your photo. you should give it a try.

    they have the right to have their claim examined by our Courts. France has about 150,000 asylum claims a year and they don't try to push people back out to the high seas.

    I reckon it's easier for a computer to fly a plane than to drive a car around London because there will be standard communication between flying planes.

    they are all technical issues, so will eventually be solved. We have seen drone lightshows.

    I think the growth area for electric planes is to have a similar carrying capacity as a family car. Overtime, those electric planes will learn to fly themselves.

    small electric air taxis would make hundreds of small islands inhabitable.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    If I remember correctly, the BBC interviewed the guy who runs the drone delivery program and he said something to that effect, "Drones don't fall victim to bad weather or tides..." RMG also trial the same drone to deliver mail to the Isles of Scilly...

    I've seen on BBC news Royal Mail operates currently electric drones to deliver mails to scottish islands. I reckon they will go more and more electric. There is no reason not to. It's cheaper to start with.

    look at the cost of fuel. £5 worth of electricity can fly 8 people across the Channel. There are lots of electric air taxi projects and electric drones currently in development. Also, look into the total carbon footprint of trains against planes. The e-bike is currently best but e-planes will...

    the test flight of an 8-person Cessna earlier this year was a success: QUOTE: It’s a far cry from the 200-300-seater jet that takes you on weekend city breaks or work trips, never mind the huge double-decker planes that cross continents. But the “eCaravan” test flight was a success. The two...
