Re: Bleach maker

Looks a bit like snake oil to me. Bleach is sodium hypochlorite (it's usually diluted) with the formula NaOCl. It can be produced from salt water by a process called electrochlorination but I don't think a 5v USB supply (even at 2 Amps) is going to produce much at all. see https://www.eicstech.com/k...

The problem is everywhere else not having power to send to you. :lol:
The Jackery is 8x the price though.

Re: Well worth looking at

I was on CB in Brighton in the 80s and it was buzzing, always lots of people on air, meets etc. I've listened on the bands here now and there's nothing on CB and very little on licensed frequencies. I often have my handheld tuned to the local repeater and the only thing I've heard is old geezers tal...

Re: Prepping for Fire

We had a fire in February (fortunately contained to one room but still scary). I gave it a big blast from a CO2 then closed the door and got out. To be honest, once I was outside, the ONLY thought was to make sure wife was ok. The only thing she grabbed was the car keys and phone. Until you're in th...

Re: Four candles (well 3) UCO candles to be precise

I'd never heard of UCO candles until now but, having had a 6 hour power cut yesterday, I'm researching power and lighting solutions in case we have another.
Mind you, I have a load of torches and batteries which, given my clumsiness, I tend to prefer.
