Batteries are drawn down when energy is needed to stabilise the system at 50 mhz.

Only when you rotate the phase shield harmonics at a linear frequency.

Or fly to Los Angeles and check out the Tesla plant.

christmas?
this technology has been around for 7 years...

wind farm owners are shafting us and living in the dark ages.

is that you scotty?

I canna change the law of physics! I've got to have 30 minutes!

How about reversing the polarity on the flux generator to excite the field harmonics? That should do it.

Seriously, I bought a lithium battery yesterday. Great things. I just need a garage full of them and it's goodbye to coal power.

Seriously, I had a hamster. He ran in a wheel. Hook a generator up to him and he could power Victoria's public transport network.

Fortunately we have the AULRO experts on hand who tell us a single hamster is vastly more powerful than a garage full of lithium batteries. It was featured in a Goodies episode, I think.

Attachment 121322

Clearly a hamster is more powerful than a garage sized battery, makes perfect sense. Now all we need is a giant hamster on a bicycle built for three, that could power an entire country. And it's fecal pellets can be donated to the poor individuals who are pining for the smell of burning mud.

You do know you can not just shed power from the states 2 biggest consumers right?

Their processes don't lend to that at all.... [emoji41]

Hearth going cold is not a good thing, nor is refractory cooling!


Hopefully we can find a solution soon...
