Ethana, sure it will take forever if you use something like bittorrent to download your HD fix. But usenet is very quick. An example of how quick; I downloaded an entire series of a tv show in under 3 hours(close to 10gigs). Thats how long it can take to download cams off of bittorrent.

I love you, no I really do. You go around correcting people, and giving them a leacture on electricty. Then you say amperage instead of current.

I dont think that the person who wrote the PDF was a native english speaker. Page 4, "English Updaets". =))

:$ I just realised that it would b the water coming out of the bowl, and not the cistern. So scrub the last post, unless they place the generator between the cistern and the bowl. And that is most unlikely

Im only fifteen and Im just about the complete my course in standard grade physics(Scottish high school qualifications).

Are you talking about converting teh potential energy stored in the water into electrical. If so that is a huge waste of time. Ep=mgh

AFAIK my cistern holds 7 litres of water so mass = 7kg.
my cistern is just under a metre high above the ground so height = 1m(for simplicity)
and the gravitational field strength is just under 10 and ill round it to 10 for ease.

so working out the potential energy of that water is 70 joules. And then the generator is not going to be 100% efficient, lets call it 50% so 35joules of energy. That, is utterly useless.

S**t idea. :P

Damn you RJ, now i just look as though i don't know what a fascist is.

I'm not happy. ;)

iFascists?

Leave him alone. I mean if you're going to insult him on his 'grammer' skills, at least spell it correctly. It is grammar, with and A.

Maybe it is you that should be looking in to English lessons.

As much as i hate the man for his arrogance, he has a point. In my house only two people read for pleasure, myself and my mum, and she only reads once in a blue moon. I think that the largest problem is that most books that are published are closer to litter that literature.

Is that because your such a fanboy and went out and upgraded your ipod every year when the 'new' version was released.
