« on: April 16, 2016, 10:06:07 AM »

Biofuel Buddies Bash 2016 (summer meet up in Bucks)

I can now confirm that I will be opening my field up again this year for my 11th biofuel buddies bash during 1st July - 3rd July
So try and keep these dates free and pray to your own preferred god for good weather.

Chewing the fat around the campfire with beer n barbie, kettle is always on (bring food n drink to share) and demos of peoples ideas and kit they have made, camping available, come along and meet some of your buddies from the biofuel world.

Sorry no dogs allowed due to neighbours with sheep, goats, pigs n horses.

Bring everything you need but plenty o shops within a few miles if you forget anything. We have a few pots and pans, cups, plates, cutlery etc which you are welcome to use use but please clean after use.

Arrive from 12pm Friday 1st July
leave by 5pm Sunday 3rd July

Everyone seemed happy with £5 entry so we'll keep it the same.
If you haven't been before PM me for paypal details and address

No weirdos!

We will all be there as usual because we're the only ones who've got shrink letters saying there is nothing wrong with us and we're normal. Although I think I threw mine away as what do them wierdos know. Hahaha

As usual, I have no idea if I'll be available.

But if I am - I'll be there!

Hope you can make it ... It'll be good to put a face to a name at last!

I had so much I wanted to do and prepare for the BBB.  But I think it will just be us absorbing the weekend rather than contributing this time around.  The kids are looking forward to seeing Chug and Lynda again - they keep asking!

I hope to make it as usual too, though this year has been a bit of a trial.....

Didn't have the time or energy to get the projects I wanted to get done. I hope to at least make an arduino air bag blasting controller done.

No pulse jet or turbo jet mk2, or the tesla coil I keep promising myself....

Any way I will just drown my sorrows in loads of booze as usual!

Whats the plan with the arduino will the timing be set to music or something.

You mentioned a relay panel can possibly source some low power 12 volt relays [stand by relays from TVs].

Have a lot of multi core cable for connecting if required just let me know what's needed and if you want any help.

I am collecting a good stock of air bags hope to have a hundred by BBB time.

Not looking good from my gas man but not given up yet trying to find a 8 inch diameter pipe from the scrap yard.

Also looking for a tennis ball or coke tin size pipe.

I have some large, aluminium down pipe in the shed ... I'll have a measure up tomorrow, but I'd be a little worried about the diameter not allowing the bag to expand properly and the strength being insufficient.

I know health and safety don't mean a lot at the BBB but I think aly will not be up to the job.

Hi Richard, yeah some help would be good. Plan is to get an io shield to switch a load of ssrs, I think 10 at a time would be a managable number. We could try music!
