Have Singapore recoup it's cost to build the

skywardsword — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 16:37:56 +0800

Asked AI chat.

was said that 5 caverns total storage of 1.47 million m3. Cost SGD 950 million.

is this a better investment than say, subsidizing /ktard with the solar roofs?

edit: went and asked more ... apparently Japan have 400million barrels of reserves(gov + private + oil producer reserves)

Singapore amount is kacang putih?

Edit: how difficult is it for Malaysia to put oil back into old land based "wells", using it as reserves??? no need to spend 950 million to build???

Is it possible to use the water scooping planes to

skywardsword — Sun, 07 Dec 2025 15:15:23 +0800

Canadair CL-415 / DHC-515 “Water Bombers”
- Amphibious aircraft that scoop water directly from lakes or rivers.
- Capacity: ~1,600 gallons.
- Widely used in Europe and Canada.

... Would countries like, eg Hong Kong with such close proximity to sea, and high density in super high skyscraper be equipped to right these type of fire in the sky?

We need solution rather than pointing fingers.

Myth: EV regen Vs Toyota Hybrid regen

skywardsword — Sun, 09 Nov 2025 17:12:31 +0800

They are not the same regen but improves range/power for acceleration in a similar manner.

For newbie EV driver.

Tesla branded regen... 10 to 30% (depending on situation)

Byd branded regen 10 to 25%(depending on situation)
Personal data point. When I went up Fraser hills I spend 20% of battery on my Byd M6 extended. Coming down, the regen was only 2%. Which is 10%. Fraser hill is very winding and the speed coming down was slower due to passenger becoming dizzy.

Hence, the conclusion I had after driving EV For one year. While the rated range is 538km. There is significant amount of range reduction when fully loaded to go on vacation trips. If you are family or working class, where by we keep tools and water and baby's items. The range can be reduced.

The main Myth I want to inform All drivers is, Regen does not give you back 100% of the inertial energy. Hence, drive like you drive a hybrid, gentle acceleration and with the anticipation to minimise braking, and magically you can good range. I off the strong regen after six months of driving and the range improved as much as 10-20%.

However it is still never the 538km. In real life driving of long distance, top speed close to 120km/HR with well timed overtakes to minimise braking or hard acceleration with full load(5 pax, and luggages). is close to 400km. And city driving with 70% load, (3-5pax) is close to 440km.

Before that it was closer to 360km and 400km, highway and city respectively.

Hope that helps. I am 100% sure petrol car users will also benefit when they drive in this manner, same as hybrids, to get better range.

Why not: quota petrol also be interchangeable

skywardsword — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 11:18:49 +0800

IC for grocery purchase.

IC for petrol.

So if ayam ride bike, or worst still take public bus and train.... The petrol quota would be underutilized. (wasted.)

And this way, it will encourage more to take public transport, since reduction in petrol usage means more food on table?

/K probably will say...evil! Now a mother need to decide between milk for child or petrol for going to work....

Edit: Had to cross out the word wasted...since it is not wasted wasted...

How many of you sold stocks today?

skywardsword — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 17:10:40 +0800

1. Yesterday bought ETF with the last 10% cash money left in bank. **previously held a position that had lost close to 12-15%. So wanted to average down a little.
2. Today sold 1 stock that I held for more than 5 years. It is positive, and the danger is either I put it into something else more risky and end up losing all of it... or I put it in ETF and just not look at it again.

As always has been a problem in All Civilization, missing persons alert have always been too slow.

With Malaysia's Aim to be the among the Best Technological Country. Please kindly set up an Amber Alert System.

Prevention, Early search and rescue is better as each minutes, hours count.

It will require all Telco to be also invested and willing to make this happen. *** that and we need to work on weeding out Scam phone calls.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_alert

Pls visit wikipedia, if you wish to have the source information.

An Amber alert (alternatively styled AMBER alert) or a child abduction emergency alert (SAME code: CAE) is a message distributed by a child abduction alert system to ask the public for help in finding abducted children.[1][2] The system originated in the United States of America.[1]

Edit :

Malaysia can Call it Amira Alert, or Albert Alert... does not have to be Amber.

Also means that any internet connected Signages, also need to be part of the system, Flashing the missing child's picture and possibly also the kidnappers picture.

BYD V2L as a backup battery

skywardsword — Fri, 19 Jul 2024 11:02:18 +0800

Open discussion.

the solis inverter I am talking about is S5-GR3P 12kw, during power outage, I already have a transfer switch that can switch away from tnb(all 3 phase)

Since it is three phase, if the V2L is connected into one of the phase's socket, effectively providing backup power, Could the S5-GR3p run one of it's phase and continue working like normal?

and or if there is 3 vehicle, would it possible to wire up all three phases with backup power that way?

Since AC is not exactly directional like DC current, just need to make sure no hazards and plug it in.

I do believe Kia EV9 also have Vehicle 2 load. at 3.6kw. editted. I changed title to battery instead of generator

TNB smart meter backlog?

skywardsword — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 15:29:03 +0800

Hey Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have a premise whereby the Solar system vendor installed the system after close to 1.5month wait time(claimed to be due to waiting for inverter coming in from China), from the point NEM was approved. After that, the TNB smart meter was supposedly to be installed 2 weeks later. but now was told it will take another 2-3 weeks, dependant on the Smart Meter stock.
