Hello,

It has been known for centuries to make rotisseries with counterweights that work without electricity.

Example here:

The subject was covered here a few years ago (3~4 years?).

I had suggested putting a 24 volt 150 watt lamp in series. A test had shown that the overload at start-up was entirely absorbed by the lamp. Once started, the lamp only lowered the voltage by a fraction of a volt.

Excellent example. But all the same, you should update your brain software :mrgreen: (probably frozen by the “year 2 bug”) the Chernobyl disaster took place in 000, during the time of the USSR ... We even read in the French media (which have nothing to envy to those of the USSR, e...

The latest CO2 figures heard yesterday all day on Franceinfo 105.5 MHz: "... to produce 1 kWh of electricity, a coal-fired power station releases a thousand tons of CO2 into the atmosphere...". :lol: Coal power plants are not going away anytime soon. 1 kWh electric => 1 kg of...

No way! But the price of real estate is interesting: are you buying? The fish are another story... they will be poisoned for a long time by the permanent salting out of the radioactive pools. [...] fish with a radioactivity level of 740 becquerels of cesium per kilogram (bq/k...

Sea Area Monitoring tracks the level of radioactivity in Pacific waters near the plant: https://www.tepco.co.jp/en/decommission/progress/watertreatment/monitoring/index-e.html C is much lower than what is found in the Channel because of the permanent discharges from the factories...

It is a reality, the contaminated areas of Fukushima have become habitable again. Jancovici knows this because he follows the news.

At the time of the blue meter, the differential circuit breaker (I specify) was triggered quite often, not at all now with the Linky. Why ? Mystery. I'm not complaining at all about the Linky, it never tripped. Normal if you kept the same subscription. It seems that they have provided a margin ...

An old disk meter will measure in VA Not in kWh. Mine measures 4 Wh/lap. Currently connected to my heat pump, it completes one revolution in 10 seconds, which corresponds to a power of 1440 W. It is the linky which gives the apparent power. Power can be measured by monitoring the...

A circulator can be changed very easily. And when I had had a boiler "expert" on the phone, all the "safeties" had already been circumvented, to heat. And for me, it was the "ionizer" which no longer worked. Sure that the plumber would have offered me to change...
