peeriebryan Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 A peerie 18 inch bass with silicon rubber strings. She's a cutey, but sounds like a monster http://www.largesound.com/ashborytour/dearmond.jpgMine's black though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peeriebryan Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 ^ indeed. Every time I play it, I have a peerie chuckle to myself It sounds like a cross between a double bass and a fretless bass guitar. Certainly a lot handier than lugging my double bass around If you want to see the peerie bass in action *plug alert* come to the Fortunate Sons gig at The Tunnels in Aberdeen on Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malachy Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 I bought this amazing machine that powers my entire house and all my neighbours houses just from a mug of hot water that sits in my kitchen. It's called GENTEC venturi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooks Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 See, if you were connected to the national grid you would power everybody. At least power everybody in Shetland. Should have thought about that before living in Fair Isle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called GENTEC venturi. How do you heat the water Malachy? Do you have to use that windmill thing?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoolHaddock Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I have een too Malachy. Mine looks lik this. I can make tea with it, boil rice in it and power anything from a small island community to all of Western Civilisation .... forever. This is how it works... http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/images/andrewingram/2005/11/02/graph.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeriebryan Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 You haven't labelled your X axis, making it difficult to understand exactly how your device works. Is the X axis 'flux capacitance' per chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoolHaddock Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 No. Ha ha ha! "Flux Capacitance"??? What a ridiculously erroneous assumption. You sir, are erroneous, shallow and pedantic! The X axis does infact represent Philadelphia cheese on my shoulders. This is what drives the Spoot-greased, steamed kitten turbines. This is harder than castin' peats we Greenpeace fir a tushker!

Malachy Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Mine is even simpler. I have two mugs of water. One of them is heated to 300 degrees celsius (I keep a book over the top to stop it escaping as steam). The other one is salty water from the voe. I swill that one around a bit to mimic the movement of the tide, then splash some of it into the other mug, then catch the steam in an unspecified generating machine, which sucks ever last bit of energy from it, then I have the equivalent power of about 300 huge windmills. In fact, more than that, because windmills don't actually produce any power at all. That's just a myth. We have two here just to show to the tourists. We really use them to grind corn.

I knew they had a purpose other than being great huge bird scaring devices what dont really seem to work ! Think we could use them as giant neep hashing & tattie peelers too ? Wonder if we could rig up some kind of system between the two of them so as to haul the sheeps feedin up yon ruddy muddy & slippery hill for me on days when its so windy I canna fir my hair whippin at my face.

Styles Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Whit aboot forceing all da fat folk to run on treadmills? Probally would need a few SIC officals with whips to keep the power going. Green and u get afew more council jobs. Or better still turn da iles into a giant tread mill that they all could run on, jobs for all and for life (or until u dropped dead).

fairislefaerie Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 What an impressive supply.. You & my daughter must surely be working on this project together, seems like we have a good few prototypes of your graph being drawn by her on a daily basis. Just hope yer no paying her in chocolate ! Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
