You poor deluded fool Clemmo! Heatsinks are made of aluminium, and every schoolchild knows that aluminum melts at 660�C so the heatsink cannot possibly be glowing cherry red! Nev, go and look under your car for a pool of molten aluminium ... -- Du verschwendest �bertragungskapazit�ten.

I'd buy one (but I'd be checking the regulator first!) -----sharks -- Du verschwendest �bertragungskapazit�ten.

See above.Similarly G-S's post which basically says "if your data doesn't fit my theory it's wrong" is bad science methodology. However extensive and exhaustive discussions of correct testing methods and hypothesis formulation is going to be too painful(1), hence why I started typing it and ditched it yesterday (or was it the day before?). It's also very squarely in the diminishing returns bucket, while it's true if you were starting from first principles G-S's statement is wrong, the reality is the physics in question are fairly well understood, and if carefully tested in the appropriate controlled environment I'm quite sure it would be able to be shown that Nev's car uses more fuel with the lights on than the lights if all other variables are held constant. JL (1) for me, you may enjoy it, in which case go for your life.
