In steam engines they try and control speed mostly by varying the valve timing, but still only have to deal with a reasonably constant pressure source. Interesting you mentioned steam engines at this point Paul as I was just thinking this is really not a lot different. I hear what you say about the...

I totally agree Chris. I've lived in each quadrant of the UK and I'm now doing the middle bits LOL but what really amazes me is how some people think 5 miles is too far to go for things. I once drove up to Scotland and back in a day setting off from Surrey! There's arguments for and against any loca...

Hi Paul, I must say I've been rather intrigued as to the range of these compressed air machines and the air pressures in the tanks scare the pants off me but hey they've invested a lot of money and have real road going vehicles running about.

I was going to put a comment on the main site with a copy of the ...

Ah good we'll have a chat then :) Yes Qdos I'll be at the burley meet causing mayhem :wink: bit of a shame the show was a washout inseveral senses. I think the word that might be applied is 'spin'. If the VW was there then your van should have been in too. I've had the same sad demand for money show...

Oh well not to worry it's peeing down here. Are you going to the Burley meet in Rhe New Forrest? Well got nothing back from them the last time at all, which I think is quite rude :( Mind you dosnt look like they have got very good weather for it :lol: serves them right :lol:................well they...

Ah now that would be telling wouldn't it
