That looks like a challang you hve foind yourself. A slightly different approach than the stored hydro used elswhere.

Stored hydro is of course a key technology. We just aim to complement it. One advantage to putting storage out at a substation is that it can relieve stress on the transmission network. The whole deregulation thing complicates things too... somehow spot market prices go all over the place, despite the existence of stored hydro in the system.

I suppose other advantages of the system is its capability of being local therefore reducing transmission losses of stored energy and also possibly? supplying backup power in instances of inturruption of the main supply. I personaly like the idea of winding up big rubberbands on wind turbines for stored power but maybe that is just me.....

Interesting article about cryptids on my blog by guest Bernard J. Schaffer, called "Blame Leonard Nimoy".

I've been chipping away at photographic pursuits for a while now, which has largely been responsible for my absence (for better or worse  :) )  from these pages!

You can see my website here:  http://www.fredadams-photography.com/

It's been a real pleasure to follow your further development and growth as an Artist, Fred, even though you were at the highest levels earlier. Some people portray Reality in their photography...you transcend it.

All the best,

Dan.

Thanks Andre, most kind of you to say so and much appreciated.   I see that you're a man of considerable literary credentials - I will investigate further.

Easiest place to see current books available for electronic reading, and a few in paperback, is Amazon. http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_2?_encoding=UTF8&field-author=Andre%20Jute&search-alias=digital-text I'm afraid that most of my books that would be professionally of interest to you (on colour and design etc) are out of print, in the pipeline at CoolMain to be reissued, but it is a slow process.

Jags is right, I love your photographs for their wit.

New entry on my blog,
So what good are parking lots? Amazing, two in a row of cycling interest... In theory it is the record of a writer's procrastinations in rewriting a book that has already gone through umpteen editions. Cycling is GOOD procrastination!

Recently started putting some videos onto Vimeo.
Upload limits are restricting me to one upload per week but will get them all on eventually.

Oh! This is wonderful, Rual!

I have seen a couple of these in the past, and was so very much hoping to see more and in one place. Good on you! To others: These are well worth the watch, very well done, and even nicer for coming from "one of us" (a Forum member) -- they make a nice touchstone to put past posts in context.

All the best,

Dan.
