We changed our iphones recently and now have wireless charging although we don't have a wireless charger as I don't see much point in the house. But in the car its always awkward to stash your phone, it normally goes into the cup holder or in the door side pocket. On the 2021 T M3 version it has dual magnetic wireless charging plates !, how cool is that.
Probably reduces the range a bit though.

Re: Part ownership of a Wind Turbine, fancy it?
My secret list of Ripple members is now up to a definite 11 on here.
Thats still 16.7% of the membership as a few more members have since joined since my last count.
PS - My pin badge was broken too.

Re: Part ownership of a Wind Turbine, fancy it?
Post #26 - a while ago - should have given you a clue...
I'll give my badge to anyone who wants it - I don't often wear a blazer! I would blame the post office's letter handling/franking and sorting machines for the breakages. Most of our picture postcards arrive spoilt by a shredded surface from where they have been accelerated through the machines.
A
p.s. inspired by comments up-thread I'm writing to "them" (Not the PO) to suggest renting their/our grid connection and access road to a similar co-op from somewhere "up North" on a reciprocal basis, so that each co-op has a pair of turbines separated by distance.
2.0 kW/4.62 MWh pa in Ripples, 4.5 kWp W-facing pv, 9.5 kWh batt
30 solar thermal tubes, 2MWh pa in Stockport, plus Congleton and Kinlochbervie Hydros,
Most travel by bike, walking or bus/train. Veg, fruit - and Bees!

Was over in Belfast for a pint the other night and flying into Glasgow yesterday there was an excellent view of a Wind Farm. Thought i'd share that here. Impressive and all cranking. Some city Belfast, loved it!
