  1. Nothing to do with an aviation forum; it was a direct response to the quote above it.
  2. LPG was not able to continue in the vehicle industry because nobody could find a way of making it meet the increasingly lower Australian Design Rules on emissions. The ADR system does allow existing vehicles to operate for the rest of their lives as long as someone keeps producing LPG.
  3. No, it's because we don't leach off Governments but spend our own money, get our own patents, research our own markets, research the supply infrastructure (I was hired to research Australia's Urea (AdBlue) network and then make big money getting a market advantage.) The company that makes the finished product I showed a few days ago spends billions of dollars per year on research so will not miss the $75 million the Australian government was providing for ALL manufacturers and potential manufacturers. The people on this site squeal when there is an accident aircraft labelled "Cessna" but when they are discussing our Industry they don't take the same care to identify the sectors of the industry.
  4. .....n unofficial dumping point for Cummins and Detroit oil changes. Marky was suffering many bruises as the big filters clanked together in the smelly wash. They stood well back from the smell and tried to come up with a solution. Keen NESSERS may have noted that Turbo now has a part in Outback Truckers. He had to learn extra swear words and make sure something failed on every trip but it's big money when filming with coconut oil on your face to look like sweat.
  5. .....seated and he was now hololering for help, his ample voice amplified even more by the deep shaft. Dusty O,Track quickly unconscionised the two occupants of the Patrol, but realising he was going to need three of them to pull Marky up the now stinking shaft, he told Marky to wait and then dragged the Patrol occupants back under the Patrol so he coud pretend to rescue them when they came to..........
  6. How does this grid-level storage work?
  7. The tailpipe emission of a hydrogen ICE is zero, just like the EV. So the comparison is going to need CO2 calcs from the original source to the engine supply point, in the same way that EV might have a Zero tailpipe output, but if it's charged from the grid, there's a CO2 penalty at the power station stack, and then there are different CO2 outputs to make the components and asseble them.
  8. ....improvement on what that Indian Rider "Dusty" OTrack had suggested; "INYERFACE!!" over a WA Cop badge. DOT had waved and wrinkled his shoulders as a Highway Patrol was about to pass and they took the bait and lit up. OT had always imagined himself as a Western Bert Munro, and gave the Indian a whiff of WOT. The rear suspension squatted and the Indiuan came out of the blocks like a Kangaroo Dog catching DOT by surprise. He slid back onto the pillion only to see the nose of the new Nissan Patrols with the 400 hp V8 petrol motors right beside him and about to PIT him with the bull bar, but his trusty Indiuan was up to it and......
  9. ......evacuation, they cooled substantially to the Harleys, and that's when they cruised up to a country pub and out the front was bull, newly patched and itching for action on his P8C Harley. bull started the Harley which backfired a couple of times, got the front wheel up and pulled a doughnut on the rear. Mahommet gave his WOT and painted a black line through the circle. Cappy on his pink Suzuki jammed the front brake on by mistake and somersaulted onto his back on the line and circle, and it was on.........
  10. I'm not sure what this Green Hydrogen is; smoke and mirrors? An engine running on CNG (Methane) requires very little change to run on hydrogen. In fact Cummins offer both in the one model engine, the 500 horsepower X15N so the modifications from one to the other will be either external accessories or slight. There's no national refuelling network, so it only suits Back to Base applications within the tank range.
  11. .........and this simple act of kindness caught in the throats of the Muzzies and brought tears to their eyes knowing that someone cared about thme. On election night Malc's team blitzed the commos and there were free flights for all at the airport next day and even the bikie's cafe let them in until.......
  12. ........he not only played the latest doof doof or rap songs, but brought to light many unknown facts, like the time Cappy had been caught in the ventilator shaft of the Moorabbin Town Hall at the Launch of Malcolm Turnbull's campaign for PM.........
  13. ........flying Drifters whenever the sand is wet enough to avoid getting bogged. "They take forever to build though" said Don who had problems getting his own aircraft finished. "How would you like some tariffs" asked Don, seizing the opportunity to milk this little smartass of his riches. But others had tried that on the "Big O" before and ........
  14. .........hopped the Redeye (they talk American in WA today) to Washington and told them at the securiy gate that it was O to see Don. The Marines didn't move a muscle and .............
  15. I agree with the others, shut this trash down.
  16. Brendan is trying to bring you up to date with reality; picking on a specific detail is not helpful since the situation also involves slashing more than one person to death, kids who were just going about their business, killing people on the streets and killing each other, hundreds, if not thousands of home invasions over the past 20 years where occupants in their beds are forced to give up the electronic keys to their cars and any valuables, several hundred high speed police chases where police have been injured and innocent motorists have been killed, well known "child" offenders out on bails more than 50 times and so one. We will not be letting our police go into these work situations where they are required to protect us without maximum self protection. After any shooting they are subjected to the same laws as us and have to justify their actions. I live in one of the epi-centres where every one of our local bottle shop attendants have been beaten up or slashed, every one of out fuel outlets the same, for or five Audis/Benzes etc torched to the ground. These children have been offending on bail and the Victorian Government may even fall if they can't get their frantically urgent bail laws to solve the problem.
  17. ..........come here as a Traditional Owner of Western Australia, and by the way mate that was a terrific welcoming ceremony you taught us; we'll be welcoming all Mexicans with that soon, but in a bigger and better American way .......................
  18. ............two weeks later that Peppermint character Alaine DeBondegue put an ad in the local Fremantke Daily Dock offering his prize 1334 Golden Doubloon a two headed coin, the only one in the world minted by mistake and said to be worth the price of a Jabiru 230.........................
  19. Well I'm only guessing here, but we may be looking at the beginning of a PL action in motion.
  20. This is just a Public Liability lawyer running their advertising programme the same as anyone else does. Of course if anyone lifts his head and contributes on the Merits of the case he might get a call to come along and help.
  21. Simple; We have a unique Public Liability system; they operate under different conditions.
  22. ....asked to see it. Eventually, for a satisfactory price he pulled it out and the assembled group gasped; it was the genuine 1337 Spanish Goldoon, one of only two ever minted, and .........
  23. CNG was compressed methane, dropped power by about 10%; that was enough for it to get the thumbs down from most fleets.
  24. The cars and trucks that have gone into production are Hydrogen gas into ICE engines, using capsules to hold the gas. They are not fuel cell. However in terms of fuel cell vehicles, I was involved in the Bus Industry in 2005/6, evaluating future product so looking closely at the Perth PTA trial with Mercedes Benz fuel cell buses. To give Mercedes Benz credit due they spent a lot of money setting up the buses and at the end of the trial the passengers liked the lower floors and the quiet operation, but at that time the Prime Cost of the chassis was three times the cost of a diesel. I ruled it out on Prime Cost, without the in-service Fuel Cell vs Diesel Maintenance component, and happen to have 2004 figures here to show the impact, using costing done for another MTT company. Bus Chassis: Mercedes Benz 0405NH/0500 $198,934.00 Body: $225,500.00 Total: $424,434.00 Bus Chassis: Mercedes Benz Fuel Cell $596,802.00 Body: $225,500.00 Total: $822,306.00 Fuel Cell Premium $397,872.00 Premium x 600 normal Tender Lot $238,723,200.00 Even at State Government level purchasing it was clear that $238.7 million up front premium was going to be too big to swallow. About the same time Honda built a fuel cell Civic and sent them to the US where they were offered to customers on a 12 months lease. One of them came to Australia for evaluation, but it all died away. There are still companies trialling them and maybe one day they'll get the magic balance where you put water in the tank, the fuel cell breaks out the H from the 02, and the engine supplies the electricity needed to power the fuel cell.
