At 13:32 he says that it’s something Brand New for Crag Side. In reference to the Archimedes Screw. Not that the Archimedes Screw was something new. I’m sure that he probably seen the Archimedes Screw quite often. Because farmers have been using it for a really long time to move water around to water their crops

Not really when you consider how filthy london was in the 19th century. Theres a reason it took the great stink of 1858 just to install a proper sewer system

Much like today, in order to get that, you had to be extremely wealthy. Well out of the means of any middle class and certainly miles beyond anything the lower class could afford. But much like today, who gets shafted on the "green ideas"? The lower class. They aren't building hydro on their palatial estates.

The majority of people don't have limitless wealth and thousands of acres of untouched forest land at their disposal. Comparing the average person today to this exceptionally wealthy man is simply ridiculous.

@@M123Xoxo When modern solar panels were first marketed for consumer use, they were also very expensive. As rich people and corporations bought them, production became more efficient and the quality and power of the product increased while prices slowly became more affordable. Now, an average working class person can have solar on their own home. Investment gets things started, but businesses will always seek to expand their consumer base. The point I was making is that, had the wealthy and the large businesses invested back then in renewables, it is likely that the technologies would have been improved and production streamlined much earlier. As with pretty much everything that did manage to catch on in the Victorian period, it would have only been a matter of short years before versions made for mass consumer purchases were available. Remember, Tesla was already trying to figure out solar power in the later part of his career, and it's very possible he would have had enough support and funding to succeed in his lifetime if renewable energy had become popular, as solar doesn't require access to running water like hydro does.

@@cristiaolson7327 honey , you are lying 1) an average working cannot afford a solar panel . Only with governmental assistance 2) we still don’t know how to recycle solar panels , this batteries are poisonous for the environment .

We visited 2 weeks ago, and when we entered it was an audible … oh my goodness me. From all 3 of us. A stunning house

It’s definitely a castle

Castle Drogo is a country house and mixed-revivalist castle near Drewsteignton, Devon, England. Constructed between 1911 and 1930, it was the last castle to be built in England.

Not so much climate change as scarcity of fuel...

A crag is a steep or rugged cliff or rock face.

Warm air does indeed rise - the warmer air becomes, the faster the molecules move. Faster moving molecules cause air to be less dense. So warm air is less dense than cold air. The colder, denser air tends to sink, while the warmer tends to rise. Those ceiling mounted radiators in the building you work in are probably 100 years old. We've learned a thing since then.

Hot air balloons ring a bell?
