I'd be surprised if any tinfoil was used in Grenfell, the OP seems to have had the entire Western European supply on his head for some time.

Can't wait for the volume on Rocket Science to hit the stands.

The books appear to have been self published using authorhouse

https://www.authorhouse.com/en

I.e. the op paid to have them published. Then has passed himself as a knowledgeable author of technical works (which would imply peer reviewed text books etc).

Its Only £2.77 on amazon and I’m tempted to get it for a laugh, but i don't want to encourage the OP.

Brilliant!
The world needs more nutters, look around us rolleyes

That is going some: to self publish 2 books (well, short essays: 28 and 20 pages hehe), and then to get not one, not two, but SEVEN cracking one-star reviews!!
Great comments in them as well......I won’t be buying the books, & for that reason, I’m out biggrin

Interesting;
lots of character assassination, plenty of attempts to invoke chaos but as always, no 'technical argument' put forward!



FYI: Porsche and Kawasaki are both using mechanical gearboxes; and Porsche have opted for an extremely high voltage.

What kV level have they opted for then?


As for invoking chaos, I think you'll find that's your mo.

What exactly is your goal with this thread?

Is that taken directly from one of your Amazon reviews?

I have seen no evidence that you even understand your own questions and theories, so no, I have not put forward a technical argument because I lack the full spectrum of crayons and brightly coloured wooden blocks required to convey it to you.

Taken from another thread about EVs.
You may well be an electrician but given your limited understanding on a) the above quote and b) your knowledge on electrical motors/VFDs/EV battery packs and the way in which they work, I'd say you're not a particularly good one and that following guidance given by iET is probably in your best interests.

By you or by us?

We don't need to as we didn't start the thread. We're still waiting for yours but I think most of us are now only following this for the amusement factor rather than expecting to learn anything.

PS: NEWSFLASH
My house didn't burn down while I charged my car last night. Did anybody elses?

A 32A charger connected with 6mm² wiring through a 32A type C MCB is absolutely fine.

Current capacity of said wire in a typical garage installation (pinned to the wall or in some trunking) is going to be 50A+.

The question for me is why do you seem to think the IET are somehow deliberately encouraging bad/dangerous practice? Why would they? What's in it for them?

Don't encourage him!

What if he goes and writes another book now?!

Think man! hehe

You are claiming that the "current carrying capacity of 6mm T&E is 50amps+"!

Would you like to show your working out please?


Oh, no need:
6mm T&E has a ccc of 51amps when installed 'in free air/on cable tray'.

Fair enough; but the cost of buying and installing cable tray would work out more expensive than simply buying 10mm T&E, plus you have to be lucky enough to be able to punch out from the mains straight into 'free air' in the first place.

I think we will just treat that as an attempt at invoking chaos theory into the minds of the readers!

The one thing I don't understand is why you people appear so 'desperate' to stop people listening to what I have to say, when you have no technical argument with what I am saying???

Given the importance of the subject matter:
Where are your morals for crying out loud?
Where is your respect for the sanctity of human life?
Are you advocating killing innocent people?
I'm afraid you are giving the impression that you must be dangerously psychotic rather than just misinformed!


It would make it easier to understand of course if this small number of faceless, nameless individuals following me around the internet 'bad mouthing' everything that have to say or write have something to fear.

Seventy odd charges of 'corporate manslaughter' perhaps?

What was the name of that girl who was electrocuted in her own airing cupboard?

No, it's 54 amps (in single phase supply), on a wall or in trunking, per reference method B as defined by the IEE.
I was very clear that it wasn't for free air installation.

Not at all.

Next one for you - approximate fusing current of 6mm² copper wire? What do you think it is?
