Re: [MBZ] Alternator
Typically that means you have a bad diode or two (usually open) and are only getting a few amps out of the alternator. The idiot light just indicates that the battery is supplying the coil, not the alternator. Bad voltage regulator will do the same thing, plenty of amps maybe, but not enough voltage to charge the battery. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

If the light is on and goes out when you spin the alternator, that should mean the alternator is supplying enough juice to power its own field.

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes grab pad
Depending on the graphics, the size of the vehicle, and the mood of the wrap people, the price can vary wildly. I had quotes done to wrap my Mercedes bus, being converted to motor home, 40 ft long, 11 ft high.. the quotes ran in the $12,000 to $15,000 range I will be painting, not wrapping. Strip and paint costs ran 1/2 of that. What really sealed that decision was the service life of the wrap... 5 yrs, in the sun and it's dead. Then you get to pay to have it taken off, and pay again to have it "re-wrapped" Paint, good for much longer.

[MBZ] OT Thorium Reactor news of the day
http://www.atimes.com/article/is-indonesia-preparing-to-go-nuclear/ --- "Blessed with copious amounts of coal, huge reserves of natural gas and a rich store of geothermal energy and other climate-friendly renewables, Indonesia’s frequent talk over the years about venturing into the nuclear age has always appeared to lack conviction. What concerns many Indonesians is not only the threat posed to a nuclear power plant by earthquakes and tsunamis in one of the world’s most geothermally active nations, but also whether authorities are capable of putting in place and, more importantly, strictly enforcing safeguards against disasters. Neighbors like Singapore and Australia have always shared serious concerns of a potential disaster if Indonesia goes nuclear, given its suspect safety record in other fields. Why then, the skeptics ask, would a new specially appointed industry watchdog allay any of those concerns? Nuclear energy advocate Bob Effendi, a member of President Joko Widodo’s National Economic and Industry Committee (KEIN), has a ready answer for the nuclear naysayers: mitigate much of the risk of conventional reactors by using a thorium-fueled molten salt reactor, which is not only immune to meltdown but is cheaper and produces less toxic waste. Thermal salt reactor Why Indonesia’s thermal salt reactor is being revisited 60 years after it was first developed but not brought online requires an understanding of the complex political, industrial and military reasons that drove the United States to choose uranium-fed water-cooled water reactors in the first place. Effenndi, a former oilman, challenges the widely held perception that Indonesia has limitless sources of energy, claiming that coal and gas reserves will be depleted by 2035-2040 and that the potential for renewables like solar and wind is only 15% of what it is generally claimed to be. Nuclear energy’s image took a huge hit after the tsunami-triggered accident at Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi plant in 2011 – the worst since the 1986 Chernobyl meltdown disaster – which caused Germany, Spain, Italy and Belgium to resolve to phase out their own nuclear power programs. Then Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono already had reservations about nuclear power when so much else was on offer. “As long as there are other alternatives, we will not use nuclear resources,*”* Yudhoyono declared in a 2009 election speech. His successor, Widodo, initially seemed to embrace that no-nuke sentiment as well, telling a Japanese newspaper during the 2014 election campaign that he thought there were plenty of other options before Indonesia should consider going nuclear. Then, in late 2015, US energy firm Martingale signed an MoU with state-owned PT Industry Nuklir Indonesia (INUKI), PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) and PT Pertamina to conduct a feasibility study into whether its ThorCon molten salt reactor could help meet Indonesia’s future energy needs. Widodo was there for the MOU’s signing in Washington, later saying in a statement on his return home that if nuclear is needed “we must immediately start preparing for it. This should not be allowed to drift. A decision must be made, but the cost has to be ascertained.” Alternative design The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has already declared Indonesia nuclear compliant on all but two of 21 conditions – for a firm government position on nuclear power and the establishment of an organization to implement the construction of a power plant. The typical nuclear reactor uses uranium rods suspended in pressurized water, which are fission-heated and generate the steam to drive a turbine. The water also acts as a cooling system, with pumps to keep it circulating. Any loss of power leads to overheating and a meltdown, as happened during the Fukushima tsunami. In the alternative design, the nuclear reaction occurs when thorium, a similar radioactive element to uranium, is dissolved in a bath of molten salt which works under normal atmospheric pressure because unlike water it does not vaporize at high temperatures; if it overheats, fission will automatically stop. The molten salt concept means the reactor doesn’t require thick walls to contain the pressure and will never be in danger of a meltdown because an overheated salt bath will melt the freeze plug and drain by force of gravity into a containment vessel where it will cool on its own. National Nuclear Energy Agency Indonesia has only modest quantities of uranium, but it does have an estimated 170,000 tons of thorium, concentrated in the tin-rich Sumatran province of Bangka-Belitung, which is found in the monazite sands unearthed during the tin-mining process. Indonesia already leads Southeast Asia in nuclear experience. Established in 1954 at the height of the Cold War, Indonesia’s National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN) commissioned a 30-megawatt (MW) nuclear research reactor at Serpong, on the outskirts of Jakarta, in
