Theoretically, hydrogen needs 30kbars to superconduct. They managed to lower the requirement to 10 kbars. It's an interesting work but to go from 10 kbars to 1 is still a long way.

what do you think of Tim Davie now that he seems to have climbed down on 'Gary Lineker's impartiality' issue?

It's a lot of supposition. Dark matter or modified gravity? Nobody knows yet.

I don't know but fish don't tolerate CO2 any better than we do.

we need a picture of the whole wheel.

we have more oxygen in the earth crust (46%) than any other element so we won't run out of it. The risk is we'll choke to death with just 0.5%-1% CO2 in the air we breathe.

I can't see the attraction of SMRs. I thought we should concentrate our efforts in producing a commercial GEN4 reactor as soon as possible though a state owned company.

We were part of the EU EVOL project building a molten salt fast reactor. I wonder if Sunak wants us to get back in there or go it alone with RR modular project

Your plan seems OK but you should procure a couple of replacement spokes before attempting to straighten them.

Were they straight before?

bent spokes protect against excessive tension and are usually found on fragile rims like carbon rims.

Another weakness of current reactors is their lifetime. 60 years for Sizewell C is a long time. Technology would have leapfrogged it long before even half way through. Just look at how ambitious India and China are. They have the money and human resources.

I was reading some articles about the business models of nuclear industries. Apparently, they make money on supplying fuel pellets. The latter are loaded into rods. So there is some conflict of interest. If the reactor is very efficient at burning fuel, it will use fewer pellets, not so...

I would suggest that the state nationalises the nuclear generators and sell cheap electricity to all those who are on prepaid meter at the moment. Two birds with one stone.

I watched Johnson delivering his speech at the soft power conference earlier this week. He was rambling, regurgitating the old covid jokes etc. He droned on for quite some time, usual stuttering but he wasn't funny anymore. He seemed to have lost his self confidence.

Jean-Claude Juncker: "Yes, we should have with Britain, a normal relationship and that includes this a kind of freedom of movement for workers." I wonder which PM would dare to go for this sensible solution to solve our shortage of farm, home care and health workers.

it's a bespoke system. The magnet ring goes onto the freehub body in place of the cassette lock ring. There is no wire, so it's either bluetooth or more likely (there is no battery inside the magnet ring), the pedal sensor is inside the motor's cover. You need their motor. The controller and LCD...

Nice pedal sensor. You should change the sentence 'from 100g' to 'with the 100G'. The latter is the name or model of the pedal sensor. From 100g could be misunderstood as from 100 grams.

A neat summing up for all of us.
