Not my field at all but the function section in Michaels original link describes it as follows:-

This form of diffraction grating would be put on the end of telescope and produce a spectrograph of whatever was observed with the telescope.

The distance between the wires (about 1.5 lines per mm) suggests it was used for microwave or infrared radiation.

I notice that bare copper wire is specified and that the device goes over the end of a telescope.

I have observed that bare copper oxidises gradually would said oxidation affect the long term operation as a Spectrograph?

Apparently commodity prices are soaring worldwide and shortages are the order of the day.

Lets hope it all stabilises.

Yes I found the video interesting not something I would even consider trying (Electrifying Hummers).

I might be a bit too old to be of interest to ladies in jacuzzis as well!

A stretched Hummer EV springs to mind for weddings etc etc.

I know nothing about Hummers but certainly see plenty of stretches going to race meetings etc.

Related to these discussions: Guy Martin is on Channel 4 at 9pm Monday 9th August (tomorrow as I type).

The programme is called the World’s Fastest Electric Car? Seems that he is converting a VW Beetle to Electric power and going for a record.

Might be worth watching for info on EV systems generally.and he provides good shows.

Hope she has a shed and machines to use.

Standing upside down to use it gives you a nasty headache though.

🙂😁

Always good to see nice equipment well restored and brought back to life like this

Possibly the OP is already aware of this online brochure but I thought it worth linking to & page 20 is relevant.

Seems to me that making real money at present involves becoming an Internet Influencer (not seen a job spec though).

Wouldn’t we still be in an Ice Age without global warming?

I recently did some checking for EV mileage on a few cars using the range calculators on manufacturer’s websites.
Altering speeds temperature etc could make some surprising changes to potential distance capability.

Might pay to read the relevant parts of this from the IET:-

Foam & cables.

From personal experience I can recommend the Clock Workshop in Witney (Oxon) it was first recommended to me by a friend.

May be a bit far south for you though?

As an occasional airline passenger (pre pandemic) all this has just about put me off ever flying again and made me glad the flight paths are not directly over my house!

Pretty much my view of it as well!
