Insulate Your Windows With Bubble Wrap

This is a simple technique for insulating windows with bubble wrap packing material.  Bubble wrap is often used to insulate greenhouse windows in the winter, but it also seems to work fine for windows in the house.   You can use it with or without regular or insulating window shades.  It also works for windows of irregular shape, which can be difficult to find insulating shades for.

A Swing Set that Generates Electricity?

"I wanted to make clear that the magnet rotor plates are very heavy and act as a flywheel, smoothing but not "bumping" the power. Also the chain does not move back and forth, but in a single direction. The swingers only affect the drive shaft when they swing forward, on their return trip the roller clutches freewheel back, also allowing the swingers to regain momentum."

Five Tips for Driving In Ice and Snow

Driving in ice can become challenging for even the most experienced motorists. To stay safe, follow these top tips:

1. Allow plenty of time for your journey, including time to clear your windows mirrors and lights. It’s important to do this before you set off, not while you’re driving down the road.

2. In bad weather, leave a generous gap between your car and the one in front of you. Remember that braking distances are doubled in wet weather, and 10 times longer if it’s icy.

3. Check the depth of your tyre treads regularly. During the winter, drivers need to be even more mindful of their remaining tyre tread depth.

4. Smoothness is key to driving on snow and ice. You need to brake and steer gently — as if you’re chauffeuring the Queen.

5. Be prepared. Keep food, drink, a torch and extra clothing in the car, a good pair of boots and a shovel, in case you get stranded.
