    on his Camino, the 10 pin connector is inside routed completely inside the downtube, about 12" from the bottom bracket. There is no chance water can get in at that location and there is plenty of air around it. Basically, the downtube is turned into the junction box. The entry point is like you...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    unlikely. He's set to lose tomorrow. The rebel alliance will try to push Oliver Letwin's motion which has a good chance to pass. The Letwin motion, albeit gobbledygook to most people, will force Bojo to think twice before he goes through with his MV. Bojo will be forced to ask for an extension...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    in fairness to Bojo, he did manage to get the EU to move on the issue of 'consent' regarding the backstop. Previously under TM's deal, it was not clear how the UK would exit the backstop if she can't conclude the future relationship with the EU. Now it's clear: the UK will have a 'clean break'...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Bojo may win the meaningful vote tomorrow but if Letwin motion passes, he'll still need an extension/ Letwin motion: That, in light of the new deal agreed with the European Union, which enables the United Kingdom to respect the result of the referendum on its membership of the European Union...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I thought the the prime mover was 'charity begins at home' - the kind of: what do we get for our money? if it's not obvious, they are not buying it.

    I guess only 5 or 6 will. Some may abstain though. Bojo deal falls far too short of Labour's objectives.

    Help! Switching between 2 batteries

    this is what Sturmey talked about in the previous post about body diode effect that can conduct current in reverse when the FET is turned off. After you turn off the FETs, a small amount of energy left in the U, V, W coils will try to dissipate - they can enter into adiabatic oscillations as...

    it's still up to parliament to stop Bojo taking us out on no deal by voting for another Benn Act.

    the FETs will be off when the controller cuts power though. They need to be on for regen.

    Electric bikes on The Apprentice next Wednesday

    you did mention NETFLIX as the producer. They weren't there in 1975. The article you linked to is as much guilty of fake news as many other media organs. They cited Netflix 'Our planet' video as source.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't think we are going to brexit anytime soon. In the next couple of years, the smoke will be cleared. It will become self evident that the only deal that matters is with the EU. People will understand how much was promised and how much can concretely be achieved. Then a more lucid decision...

    that's the job for our border force. I guess a free trade deal will ensure that the UK regulatory regime will remain aligned to the EU. Anything having an EU label with be accepted duty free.

    Help! Switching between 2 batteries

    they may have used FETs for switchung but the junction loss on FET is about the same as on a Schottky diode, about 0.2V. FETs present no performance advantage, only extra flexibility. With the Schottky diodes, the power is drawn from both batteries, the voltage drop increases with current...

    Help! Switching between 2 batteries

    Sturmey's implementation is what most people would use, and I suspect that Bosch e-bikes do too. The Schottky diodes ensure that the batteries can only discharge, never getting reverse charged. The forward voltage drop when each branch conducts is about 0.2V-0.4V, the heat loss is much less than...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    from 2021, NI remains in the EU CU and SM with some exceptions. There will be a panel formed by EU's and UK's officials to supervise VAT and duty on goods coming into NI from the UK. Some goods are deemed to be consumed only in NI, not going South, will be let through without EU's duty levy...

    the WA treaty won't be ready until December, it's being redrafted at the moment then translated into 26 other languages. Don't expect it to be ratified before Christmas. I reckon it will be just as thick as before. Parliament won't vote on the WA tomorrow. What MPs will be asked to do is to...
