I thought you may like a little diversion. Wikipedia's editors have branded the Daily Mail as having "a reputation for poor fact checking, sensationalism and flat-out fabrication”. They have voted to ban it and its website as source for citation...

The capitalists of course love globalisation but there are other reasons for wanting brexit too. If you have enough money to buy anything your heart desires then what would be the next thing you'd like to spend your money on? power over others? public adulation?

if I had to single out one big difference between brexiters and remainers then it has to be foreign investment. Brexiters see foreign investment as part of the globalisation, moving jobs from one country to another in pursuit of profit. The victims of business closures will naturally support...

parliament voted only to start the process and make it possible to trigger A50 before April. The fight will carry on until the next general election.

Yes, we just pick the components from the shelves to make up the kits to suit the customers requirements. We can even shorten the cables to fit the customers' bikes.

his selective use of words is apalling. He said 18650 cells 'translates to maximum electrical charge of around 3,000mAH' - 'translate' and 'around' are used to put down the competition. We know that 18650s in 3,300, 3,400, and 3,500mAH even are cheap and plentifully available today. He selected...

Just a little :) They are all painted old fashion silver to go with stainless spokes.

I can't answer that question but wanted to say that the battery, controller, LCD, brake levers, cables, wheels etc are the same components we use on our bikes. We know they are very reliable and we always have spares. For bikes with triple chainrings, please ask for a left side PAS. They are...

If you are still looking for a good hub kit: http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?hubkits We can offer optional rear Bafang SWX02 or BPM motor instead of XF08C.

I watched the same program and found it excellent, factual and one of the best BBC reportage in years. Katya Adler shows clearly the state of flux that the EU is currently immersed in. Katya herself is a journalist of the highest calibre when the subject is Europe and the EU. Like Stephen Sackur...

the next episode will be 'how much will it cost us to leave?' I wonder how the £40 billion divorce settlement will come down with voters? I think it is likely that unless the figure is £20 billion or less, Mrs May will walk away from the negotiation.

taking down the EU flag is priceless though.

I expect their tax take is on average a bit higher than our 36% (France 46%, Germany 34%) so they lose out more, or at least the French will.

probably not. The taxman takes 36% on average in national insurance and income tax. Most of our trade with the EU must fall under WTO MFN tariff, 2.3% weighted average. For each person whose job is lost through EU dastardliness, the Treasury would lose 36% of his wages, about £10k per job. His...

the logic is if we don't have a deal, we still trade but more expensively. The question is, expensive for whom? I'd say for the EU. If there is no deal, we will collect more in duty than the EU does on WTO terms. The problem for us isn't in the trade, it is the non tariff barriers that the EU...

our money, that's what. They want to sell to us x amount, we want to sell to them y amount. The agreement will be a quota that is duty free, like NZ has lamb to sell, EU has cars to sell. To sell their cars duty free, the EU gives to NZ a quota of 280,000 tonnes of NZ lamb that can be imported...

this is how it works: Does the green shape look like a beam to you? The high efficiency comes from the beam. The coils act as collimators. The amount of transfer of energy is proportional to the amount of magnetic flux. To make the application for a moving car, the car has to go over a...

OG, the key word is to park the car first. The circuit needs a little time to collimate the beam. On the motorway, assuming the coil diameter is 1m, the car will pass over it in 31 milliseconds. Even with perfect electronics, you can only transfer a fraction of the 7.7KW that you may with a...

This is what they did: they managed a distance of 8 times the coil diameter. You could call it a breakthrough if you like. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonant_inductive_coupling In 2007 a team led by Marin Soljačić at MIT used two coupled tuned circuits each made of a 25 cm self-resonant...

No, I did not say that. Scientists make progress all the time. Some marketing executives label this one a breakthrough because it suits them. This method is the same as microwave cooking. Take the word field for example. Everything in the universe is composed of zillions of interacting fields...
