  1. It is a common misconception that batteries require rare earth metals. This has come about due to lithium batteries being used in vehicles where compactness and mobility are required. There have been many advances in other types of energy storage. One type of battery is what is known as a solar flow battery using zinc bromine. These two minerals are common, cheap, fire safe (very important) and recyclable and are powering small towns, homes, and mobile phone towers in remote areas. Perhaps they may provide solar energy storage for ships of the future. Who knows? There is an Australian company producing these. https://redflow.com/
  2. Thank you for the NZ connection. Next pic.
  3. We used to build models of battleships when we were kids and knew many of the parts and functions of warships. The Graf Spee and Bismark and the HMS Hood were among the most popular models. It is a range finder from the Graf Spee which was scuttled off S America in WW2. It is in Motevideo. More info for history buffs.
  4. Trying not to scuttle this but it's too late.
  5. Correct. Your turn The answer was right there on the left. It's a great spot for sunsets. A few posts ago there was a request(?) for pretty pictures. Here's another.
  6. No worries. Had to go to a meeting tonight, just got home. Looking for a pic now. Name this lake.
