    the time rates dont come into effect here until sometime next year even though we got the new meters last year

    this place is locked into a contract anyways so the price is the same no matter what until that contract runs out

    But if I was that nuclear plant, I wouldnt have no wind turbine so close. that thing breaks apart in a wind storm, the effects on the plant will be catastrophic....

    some of them suckers use over two tons of rare earths in the magnet.. they got new magnet drives that cut down on gears and other more failure prone parts

    rf: i work on bronze bushings tomorrow

    Rare-earth magnet

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Ferrofluid on glass, with a rare-earth magnet underneath.


    Rare-earth magnets are strong permanent magnets made from alloys of rare earth elements. Developed in the 1970s and 80s, rare-earth magnets are the strongest type of permanent magnets made, substantially stronger than ferrite or alnico magnets. The magnetic field typically produced by rare-earth magnets can be in excess of 1.4 teslas, whereas ferrite or ceramic magnets typically exhibit fields of 0.5 to 1 tesla. There are two types: neodymium magnets and samarium-cobalt magnets. Rare earth magnets are extremely brittle and also vulnerable to corrosion, so they are usually plated or coated to protect them from breaking and chipping.
    The term "rare earth" can be misleading as these metals are not particularly rare or precious;[1][2] they are about as abundant as tin or lead.[3] Interest in rare earth compounds as permanent magnets began in 1966, when K. J. Strnat and G. Hoffer of the US Air Force Materials Laboratory discovered that YCo5 had by far the largest magnetic anisotropy constant of any material then known.[4]
