... Thanks Joe, for maintaining a terrific forum ...
Merry Christmas everyone!
And as you'd expect, Smurf has found an appropriately powerful way to celebrate which looks like this....
The back of the house is visible from a nearby highway, hence the lights at the back. The row of white ones totals 1000 Watts (constantly flashing) so nice and bright. Overall there's about 25,000 lights and the average power consumption is about 8500 Watts.
432 MW Gordon power station supplying much of the load in Hobart at the moment. Nice big hydro units running at 272.7 RPM, no noise that anyone can hear (it's underground), automatic transfer via the grid, runs for a whole hour on just 1 billion litres of water and it's remote controlled too. Bargain!A 11.6kVA generator for rent. Nice slow diesel, low noise (51dB), automatic transfer switch, 15 hours run time on 65 liters. Mate rates.
Hope all the ASF posters have a great christmas and a safe and prosperous new year.
I don't know about everyone else, but we are leaving on Sunday for the christmas break.
I must say, I have enjoyed 2013 and IMO there has been some excellent informative posts.
Thanks Joe, for maintaining a terrific forum.
To Julia, Trainspotter, Sydboy, NBNMyths, Smurph, sails, Ifocus, So_Cynical, danny, GG and all the other posters.
Have a great christmas and see you all next year. You're a great bunch of people.
Not sure about space but it's definitely visible from the top of Mt Wellington and also from a few points across the other side of the River Derwent.You're probably visible from space Smurf, great effort.
Merry Christmas 2013
