In fact lets make a 100 can version :) Whilst I can see how it works the pictures show it in 30C ambient heat putting out 38C. How much would it put out in the UK, in January? -- Simon

Curiously enough I was on a farm this morning at the A1M/A64 junction. They have a wind turbine and all year I've seen it spinning at a decent speed. So I asked about it and was told it didn't generate much and only when the wind was unusually strong and it was whirling like a Dervish. The suppliers had been asked to come and sort it out. I nodded sagely and in a serious voice told them that IMHE it was probably using an alternator with field coils rather than permanent magnets and they should ask about the nature of the equipment. They were enormously impressed and handed over my Goose with a sincere thankewe. I managed to control my insane grin until the door had closed behind me. UKRM is a rather wonderful thing. Sometimes. Do we hand out a Bullshitting number? -- 'Hog
