Hi, Ive been a member for about 10months, but only been able to come about 4 or5 times, due to illness:(. I originally joind as I was enthused aboput hspace& wanted to work on a elecric motorbike, theres a electric motor with name on it on the donations pile,please dont hack chuck please.Iam also interseted in hybrid electric reverse trikes like the xr3 225mpg& safe if anyone else is.
As its winter Iam intersted in building a mass rocket stove to heat the space,these are hybrid DIY heaters upto 90%more efficient than normal burners:), be vcool to do one4hspace& if possible design one that feeds charcoal or dehyrdated-seasoned wood automatically& possibly with a gaseous particle filter on the stove though, at this level its not so essential. Ive made small portable rocket stoves before, at workshops ran by someone else about 5yrs ago, & have passable lathe+ basic welding skills
.How long is our tenancy at current building& would lanlord allow us to build a permanent one??.
RE electric costs I reccomend coop energy as they have the best largescale renewable climate change plan& are also vgood value& they activiley oppose shale gas,tar sands& all sorts of gas frackers, ecotricity & good energy are worth it I think, BUT abit more expensive. Personally I use ecotricity, but my energy& heat bills are vsmall,
