I think a supercapacitor powered drone would be more interesting than
this uncontrollable 'rocket'.

(Another problem with capacitors as an energy store is that the voltage
falls off as it discharges.)

There are some nice litle free flight planes out there that use this.

Flight characteristics similar to using a rubber motor.

Hmm...yes, well I found it interesting.

For Brian's benefit, it shows a chap building and testing a 'rocket'
powered by supercapacitors. Actually, it's more like a tubular
helicopter, a cross between a drone and a rocket, as the 'rocket' has


Yes the "rocket" may well have satisfied harrys yearning for
knowledge, but anyone following NASA over the years might have arrived
at the conclusion that rockets are not normally propellor driven.

Like all Brexit enthusiasts, facts do not enter into harrys vision.

They were using 1 Farad caps in VCR's years back. To be honest they
looked more like a battery cell inside. I did pull one to bits in the
hope of finding out where all those wallymitts were kept and it were
just filled with black gunge like a D Cell

As far as the clip went, the level of advertising makes the thing
totally unacceptable. A pretty poor thing that frankly I lost interest
in at the second load of adverts

Methinks the internet is now becoming unuseable due to the dross.

Yes, but Google (and all other search engines) is/are slowly drowning in
poor quality results, thanks to everyone + dog thinking they can become a
"social media influencer" (whatever the **** that is).

Last few technical problems I've had, it's been quicker to take a crash
course in whatever (dropbear 3 days ago, being the most recent) than
trawling through loads of meaningless drivel only to realise that a frw
other people have *had* the issue, but nobodies answered.

Incidentally, a moderated usenet is *far* more useful than any number of
blogging sites.

Dross in search results, dross in user reviews, never ending problem.
But cutting out crap forced on you like adverts does help.

Moderation can be hugely beneficial.

You have obviously never encountered arsehole moderators who censor
everything they don't agree with.

Oh yes. AdBlock plus, privacy badger, noscript are standard.

Indeed.

The annoying thing is I would be prepared to pay a small amount for a
better quality of result. I wonder if someone can turn that into a
credible competition for Google - where you pay to remove the crap that
others are paying to pump ?


Youtube does that.

You have obviously never encountered arsehole moderators who censor
everything they don't agree with.

What seems to work best is moderation for new posters until they have
built up some trust then free posting but with moderator(s) prepared to
act when needed. You need to define what's kosher clearly and ensure the
moderators enforce the policy equally and consistently.

I've never seen such an occurrence to comment. The only adverts on
Youtube I get is when they are part of the actual video itself, such as
the presenter on a mountain bike channel picking up a tube of grease mid
video and saying "I recommend Bumm Grease for all your lubrication needs."

I couldn't live without NoScript blocking all the JS crap to tracking
sites and adservers. But you have to work to stop the ads.

Yes. It would be sub-optimal. ;-)

Works well here. And you can control it personally.

It's amazing how many sites won't work with noscript.

Or wont work with adblock.

Or wont work without totally unceccessary cookies.

Let's face it 99% of all information on the internet is now monetized or
weaponized.

Works really well for TNP, he can post stuff and ignore the people that
show that it is wrong.

Stops him from questioning the cr@p he posts.
