UK electricity crisis over - for now

Re: Low Volts ---> High Amps?

Yes that is true for switch modes and what have you, but for straight online resistive loads, this would have a large net effect.

For AC motors, the torque would drop off a bit, so if the shaft is not heavily loaded, the shaft speed will be unchanged.

Mel Gibson to star in Edge of Darkness

Why ruin something that was perfect

The original Edge of Darkness was so so good because of its timing. Just at the very height of the Cold War, and the Thatchers 'relations' with the Miners; it just hit everything at once.

I cannot praise this series enough. I would love to make a 'Fan Film' version of this because it touched on everything i'm interested in, even when I was 15 at the time of it original transmission.

I think what i'm trying to say is 'HTF are you going to re-jig Troy's script for todays scenario? Al Qaeda?'

Anyway, I won't be in a hurry to see this. I can almost regurgitate the script i've watched it that many times.

'Where's the Plutonium?'

'Jedburgh's got it'

Cheers.
