You are correct, however I arrived at the site of a motorbike accident in Moorabbin at a roundabout fitted with armco and the rider lost his head when he was flung off his bike and sliced thru the railing - body on one side, head and helmet on the other, horrible scene.Quote:

So I was building and dismantling a couple of shows yesterday, the one I was taking apart was the all energy show.
There were a lot of Chinese exhibitors there and at the end of the show they all picked up everything on their stand took it out to the dock and piled it up to be thrown out.
I just couldn't believe the waste, see photo below but I'm talking countless chairs and other furniture, brand new (used for 3 days) rolls of carpet, TONS of lighting and more...
I actually pulled out a solar panel from the rubbish to take home, it's a 2000x1000 400wh panel. Nothing wrong with it, Just going in the bin.
@the evil twin do you know anything about that stuff mate? Can I just grab a 49v DC to 12v DC regulator to step it down to 12 volt?http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...018/10/114.jpg

Couple of hippie dudes camped near us on the last trip had a house solar panel running through a $4.50 solar regulator and reckon it worked perfect but can't vouch for it .
Mind you they did have a motorbike chained to the bulbar while driving so pretty rough .
Thanks mate I had a quick look on eBay, I can get a regulator to bring it down to 12v with up to 20a output obviously depending on the input for about $20. I'll give it a shotQuote:

grab that panel mate... you don't need a converter.
any decent MPPT solar reg will take 60 to 75 VDC input and "convert" it to the system volatage IE 12 or 24 (in your case 12).
I like Victron but there are others... either of these would do (30 or 50) https://www.victronenergy.com/solar-...rs/mppt-100-30
Thanks mate I'll have a look into them. Fyi this is the spec sheet on the back of the unit. Looks pretty decent for a freebie to me.Quote:

Yrp... a good reg will give you high 20's maybe just crack 30 amps
Not quite angry but annoyed that my cat has figured a way to break out of the house at night. I will be fixing the issue today but last night she managed to break out and catch this little guy, which I can surmise is a Feathertail glider, and a native. Pretty annoyed at myself and the cat, I don't like being responsible for injured native wildlife. It's doing well, in a blanket and a box and wildlife Vic is on their way.

From ET's Australian Concise dictionary
ANGER (noun)
An emotion strong enough to tinge eyesight red, destroy all logical thought process and evoke a continuous stream of foul language closely followed by random acts of violence on inanimate objects (see TANTRUM).
Most commonly precipitated by Accessory Salespeople absolutely guaranteeing a product will fit your vehicle and, after waiting days for manuf of the 'special custom order' then spending several hours, enduring numerous physical injuries and even resorting to reading the instructions multiple times it becomes apparent you have more chance of shoving an Elephant up a Mouses Arse than getting said item to fit.
If the prick who sold me the dual battery tray is at work on Monday he better have a Tub Of Vas or a Gold Medicare Card 'cause I mightn't be able to get an Elephant up a Mouses backside but I reckon I can go close to shoving the Tray up his, all necessary brackets, nuts, bolts and clamp incl... he doesn't realise how lucky his arse is that I didn't buy the Battery he tried to upsell me as well !!!!
Now that's angry!
It had done that before mate lol caught it during the day, I busted her "playing"with it as they do outside my front door, had a look to see what it was and seen about a 200mm long snake. Literally threw the cat away then stamped it out with me boot lolQuote:

Bugger, I thought I found the prize nugget!
3-4" deep so can almost rule out trash and when I dug it up the heavy weight in my hand was almost a certain nice size nugget.....or lead!
Looks like an old lead shot maybe?

Found heaps of old projectiles ,lead sinkers ,cartridges etc and I'm up about $15 in coins , the only possibly valuable thing I've found is this meteorite on our last trip , wish I could remember where I found it .

Doing 110 on the Nullarbor at night what could possibly go wrong ? Presstitutes must be getting thicker these days because this ain't no ute ?

Far out, you would think you would see the thing i know it blends in but need to be kinda vigilant at night on that road. When we crossed recently did a bit of diving at night but took it easy slowed down a bit as roos everywhere in some spots, still got passed by cars doing at least 110, they would be absolutely toatalled if a roo poped out as they do . . .

Exactly ,and most of us have the benefit of spotties but still drive to the conditions and as for putting lights on the underside chassis of trucks you have to be kidding .
I only drive about 85 to 90 at night, even with a roo bar. A lot of people probably would have hit the truck too. Maintaining the reflectors on the side of rail wagons is a constant, tedious job, so having reflectors under a truck would drive you nuts. One trip on a dirt road would negate the reflector, or even a light.
If you found it in W.A. then memory loss is a good thing as all Meteorite in W.A. is owned by the Guv'ment.Quote:

You can figure out the origin thru testing as every Meteorite has unique composition.
Chunks off certain ones can be very valuable apparently, not sure how you get ownership or prove provenance.
W.A. has Cameras that track Meteorites and get a rough idea where they impact then the 'hunt' is on... reward and the kudo's if you find it... $1,000 fine if you remove any of it (or any meteorite pieces anywhere in WA)

As for how do I know it's a meteorite 10G , I took it to a rock doctor but it's mainly metallic and very highly magnetic but hardly gives of a spark when I hit it with the angle grinder so appears to be mainly nickel but to be 100% sure I could get it tested but bugger that .
Does it glow Green and you feel ever so Lethargic the closer you get to it Rob mate?
Chuck it away I says too before the Zod Trio arrive on your doorstep!!
