Used for crop spraying.

Merely "drizzling" the target is at the bottom end of what I have in mind....

Fewer nozzles, increasing the flow. 70psi plus isn't "drizzling" the target though.

A pitiful 3 bar! I'm hoping that Thames Water can do a bit better than that. Anyway, the flow rate is going to be awesome compared to that aerial plant sprayer noodle-dick thingy.

EDIT: Oops! Five bar.
Sorry.

Looks doubtful
We also have service standards which are agreed with Ofwat that require a minimum supply pressure of 7 metres head (approximately 10 psi or 0.7 bar) ,measured at the point where our communication pipe joins your supply pipe.


Edit
Not like you to get something like that wrong

Arse covering jobsworths! There are plenty of homes in London that have cold water tanks 20 metres off the street and they don't have booster pumps. That's at least 4 bar. Anyway, as it happens, I have a 0-10 bar gauge in the spares bin.

Watch this space....

EDIT: Some of the maths might be a bit wonky, but hey ho.

They have giant hornets over there.

We have giant hornets here, too,
though, come to think of it.
I may have to sneak in the U.K.,
whilst the border is still porous.

Unfortunately, everywhere has poisonous or stinging creatures - Australia has about five times the amount though which is why it really doesn’t appeal as a place to visit.

Good morning to you all on this fine day .

Hoping that we all have our snow shovels at the ready

@MikeG - I have a question for people who know about wood working.

If I have an item like this:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nice-Ant...=item591ca2a46f:g:51MAAOSwA29b3axo:rk:30:pf:0

and the doors do not close properly. Is there a fair chance that an expert could repair it/or restore it so that the doors close reasonably well. I do not have enough knowledge to do it, but I know a man who does.

Yes, that's fairly easily fixable. The difficulty is doing it without the work showing too much, but again, someone with a little skill and experience should manage that easily.

Feeling very introspective tonight.

You OK?

 

[MikeG]

At the moment, I'm working on the control system, not target acquisition. You can buy all sorts of motion control bits and bobs on eBay for absolute peanuts. The problem is that you have to wait a few weeks to get your sweaty palms on them, especially as Chinese New Year is slowing stuff down.

Could you go back to the beginning and explain what it is you are doing, or seeking to do, please, because at the moment I can't follow. I'm probably disorientated by @classic33 's bizarre series of make-up based avatars.

Morning! For all bin spotters, I have just put out our slate grey bin with the blue lid for plastic and cardboard.

Snow?

No.

Do you have a picture of your problem item so that we may be able to judge. In most instances there are usually ways of fixing things.

Weather's on the turn here too...
I seem to be working at I'm not well incorporated....
