OT: New National Grid Exec Director looks to Smart Grid to balance renewables output

[Andy Burns]

Normal cycle alternates between rotating the drum slowly and pausing to tumble the wash, I use a cool synthetic was for most things and a hot cotton wash for towels, and never have a problem with the machine getting mould or smells or whatever.

I'd never used wool mode before, until I noticed non-iron shirts suggest being washed on wool mode, so I did. It turns out the wool cycle rotates drum very briskly non-stop, no doubt to "pin" the load against the drum and stop it stretching etc.

However the brisk rotation manages to dislodge *so* much fluff from between the inner and outer drum it absolutely coated the shirts ... I tried running several full or empty washes, boil wash, with or without washing machine cleaner and/or detergent, probably 10 washes in total and I could *not* stop the wool cycle from dislodging this fluff - hence I just won't use it again.

[Andy Burns]

Sounds like that's why it uses something approaching a slow spin for the wool wash, it just gets forced through shallow water at the bottom of the drum each rotation, but doesn't agitate.

Exactly so. Smart people will be able to save a fortune.

It will redistribute energy usage to suit availability.

Well, you soon learn to accept that limitation. However, I suspect you'll land up playing "Whose ghost is this?" with the more distinctively styled quotage. :-)

I would expect most of us in this news group would do most things the occidental way (with the obvious exclusion of first generation oriental immigrants). :-)

I can't think of much electricity usage in my home which can be used at = any time. It needs to be used when I want it. Unless I bought a huge b= ank of batteries.

You're clearly not much of a thinker.

Exactly, which is why I would invite the new executive Director to do the maths.

Build nukes and we CAN supply enough energy.

Not compared to what they pay now. They will only "save" compared to those who will pay the higher price.

[bert]

Wool is not a synthetic.

You have qualifications in the bleeding obvious as well as BS I see.

[bert]

Subtlety is wasted on you.
