I'm sure this has been asked before but I cant find it! Where do you get your lard? Don't businesses require Waste Transfer certificates to be issued? How do you issue waste transfer certs without busy-bodies probing your exhaust fumes for nasty CO2/other emissions and checking that your facilitates come up to stupidly high health and safety specifications?

Any citizen can issue a waste transfer note.
HMRC require you to keep records,
primarily,
to show that you have not used more than 2500L per annum
of used cooking oil as a fuel for road transport.
Use that 2501st litre and (road fuel) duty is payable on the whole amount.
Use for heating.
or,
electricity generation,
has slipped through the cracks,
as no specific duty has been avoided.
Store less than 5000L of uco and the EA have no jurisdiction,
although prudent bunding of any stored uco
will reassure any Local Authority jobsworth
alerted by suspicious/envious neighbours.
Many find suitable vehicles running on uco actually emit slightly lower
levels of CO,
than when running on fossil fuels.

Well it certainly had its moments, and in a steady wind gave a good load of lektrons. Proved to be a bit too time-consuming and nerve-jangling over all for me. Prefer PV's and wee chuggie engines, me! I hope there will be future tinkering to report in due course.. dunno what yet though.... |

well, I'm knackered. Spotted the Great whirling Blades O Doom post and starting reading this thread at tea break time to see the missing pics, continued after the evening feeding frenzy. I don't claim to have read every single word, but did get most of it and I made it to the end before midnight!! Popped back to the Great whirling Blades O Doom for sale! post a moment ago and the pics had mysteriously appeared... Interesting and entertaining thread all 69 pages of it, even the inflatable hot tub bit!!  H |

Wow what an interesting post. Are you planning on making some robot trousers like Wallace & gromit? ha
Just wondering what happened to your wind turbine? Did you get it replaced?

Yep - the Navvies (gotta luv 'em) replaced the exploded one with a later version which is the one i am now flogging. One careful ( ahem..) owner, low mileage, only used on Sundays by an old lady etc. etc.... |

So! - That nice Jonah The Welsh Blokie was the "lucky" fellow to bag himsel a slightly Frot-soiled Turnip. Quick catch up then......... laboriously slaved over hot woodworking tools for many hours making 'new' arms O doom for the turnip. (The fibre glass ones having proved wanting in the whole 'not exploding' parameter..)   Helpmaboab!! etc...  Crude balancing apparatus. Massively innefective it transpired...  Mmmm... brown. So - installed the devils on the 'resting' turnip, then spent many "happy" hours trying to get some balance or equilibrium or any blimmin thing!  No luck sadly, this pic was taken about 12 months ago after getting fed up with it and becoming endlessly distracted by 'other projects'. There it languished til with heavy hearts we decided the turnip needed a new, young, vibrant, thrusting and enthusiastic owner to take the baton (no, in the HAND, cheeky..) and carry forth the legacy. Or something. Our saviour and vibrant, thrusting etc person was Jonah. Hurrah! Sum of folding agreed, date arranged. Sorted. Now... all I need are some young and wiry individuals to assist in all the heavy manual de-commissioning and such.... Tomorrow, my droogies! xx |

Ah good lord frotter, T,is great to hear from you again.Your whilrly blades of doom were an inspiration for many.The only other body who could compete with you was that guy on the telly Mcgiver who could take an empty coke can,a candle and a box of matches and in five minutes turn them into an surface to air missile or SAM.

Mcgivers idea was simpler, You just held the can in your right hand and fired it at the chosen target.The candle and matches were for operating after dark,  Biff |
