Found out today and the old chap I sit next to at football passed away last week, either from the recently diagnosed brain tumour he had or the operation to remove it (The second hand info wasn't certain). We weren't close or anything but it's derailed me a little.

I've seen #FromBeyondTheGrave a few times before, but never with a festival crowd. It's been a long weekend when you find yourself fancying Donald Pleasance's daughter.

Packing for Sheffield. You can't see t-shirt creases in a darkened theatre...

@EngineerLondon Ratcliffe was Ferrybridge 'C's (my base station) sister station. All Reyrolle, English Elecric and Parsons. Time moves on, though, and the next job is to keep the (nearly 30 year old!) CCGTs plodding on.

Now it’s incumbent on our present generation of engineers, to drive forward the great grid upgrade and the energy transition, in the finest traditions of this 143-year-old industry. This is our obligation to society. Starting now, we will do it without any more coal 🫡 😥👋🏻 47/n

A HUGE leap forward in efficiency came in 1890 when the Forth Banks Power Station of Newcastle & District Electric Light Co Ltd became the first to be equipped with steam turbines directly coupled to alternators. 140psi steam pressure, 75kW, 1000V, 80Hz, single phase 26/n

@ReeceShearsmith Wonderful stuff. Definitely a touch of MR James, but the highlight was the misremembering of Devonshire or was it Somerset or maybe Kent? 😁🤣

I can point out a few things about a 4 switch mesh. I could point out a few more, but X limits videos unless one pays Musk one’s hard earned money 🤷🏻‍♂️
