Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi All

I found some photos of a solar collector in Rio South America, it is some sort of expo thing but looks impressive.








All the best

Yes Bob ,,

That is some sort of artist impression of what they hope to build to win the olympics or some other event ,I think I recall..

I've been along that beach on a few visits now ,,jam packed for 11 k's . The best coconuts filled with barcadi ,ETc in the world ,,last all day or until you drop .

Only memories now , I'm afraid. Ilda is off again this Friday ,matter of fact . I'm staying put .. 6 weeks of doin what I wanna do..

Hi bruce

Thanks for clarifying that mate, it certainly looks impressive and I hope they get it going as it would be a good advert for solar energy.

The barcadi coconuts sound a real killer, as long as it didnt blur the vision to much as I believe the scenery in that part of the world is spectacular.

Sounds like as the cats away the mice will play, better get those neos fitted in LG, I hope to get to mine now the weather has improved a bit. Also started on the twin rotor F&P to do the neos as I went to the trouble of buying them I had better see if I can finish the job.

All the best

Bob

Yes, Bob

Scenery ----- is that what u call it , My first impression was the girls were so poor they can't afford clothes.. they the handbrake fitted blinkers on me.lol.

I've beeen watching out for your LG fit out actually .. I showed Glenn my LG stripped down and magnet less on Saturday ... He was impresssed with the strength and all round heavier construction ,,plus the bigger size,,, Might be a goer..

hope to have most of you who can make it to a BBQ over here around the later part of this year ,,we'll arrange something..

Hi Bruce

I will have to get my finger out and get it finished, but have been geld up a bit playing with down converters for it as I want to run at high voltage to give it a go.

barby sounds good mate just let me know as I have been looking forward to coming your way.
Did you get onto the 10x10x5 magnets as I see they have them back in stock?

All the best

Bob
