Marbles rules

The rules to marbles. Because I found my marbles last night, though mine are of varying sizes so probably not right for the game.

The Ninja is a dangerous man

This entry was posted in Bacon food on January 7, 2009 by Ian Pattinson

Dan the Ginger Ninja sent me a link to the recipe for the Bacon Explosion. This is the sort of thing that can’t be unthought. And we have streaky bacon in the fridge and sausages in the freezer.

Oh dear.

Getting extra energy from natural gas

This entry was posted in alternative energy Gas on January 7, 2009 by Ian Pattinson

A company called 2OC is planning to install mini turbines in natural gas pipelines to generate electricity. The gas is at too high a pressure when it comes out of the ground for safe distribution so sites known as letdown stations are used to release the pressure. The turbines would be installed in these stations and could generate as much as one coal or nuclear power station.

2OC admits that this is an expensive way to generate electrity. But it is making use of energy that would otherwise be wasted. The letdown process also has a cooling effect- as the gas expands its temperature drops drastically- and the company are looking at ways to use this such as cooling data centres.
