  1. Re:Scuba tank's burst disc ... on How Chrysler's Battery-Less Hybrid Minivan Works · · Score: 1

    Many moons ago I had a part time job delivering 45KG LPG cylinders in a country town. One day whilst negotiating a mild left turn at a fork in the road, one of empties fell off the mazda easyloader tray. The noise was the loudest Donnnngggg Donnngg Donngg" I have ever heard, but the mandatory protection cover ring around the valve ensured no problems.

    The funniest thing was watching the head of the local fireservice dive to the ground in the nearby service station when he saw it happen. I just chucked it back on the truck and headed on my way, LMAO.

    A lot of these same concerns were raised about car LPG tanks when they sarted to become widely used, but in practice it has been found they are less likely to cause explosion or fire then a petrol tank.

    The shape and qualtiy of construction makes them rather robust.

    That said it is a legal requirement in Australia that the LPG tank be emptied inspected and the valves renewed every 10 years.

    Pesonally I have never attended a government sponsored arts event, my preference is for modern music which NEVER gets any govt funding.

    Thing is, good art speaks for and sells itself itself. If it needs govt funding it probably would not attract enough punters to see it to pay for itself.

    Why should minrity arts such as the classical opera, ballet etc get funding when popular art that people WANt to see does not.
