Hi azuiper,
I have no idea what connotations are attached to this saying on the other side of the pond, but in the UK, it normally refers to language which is next to impossible to comprehend.

If one wished to be rude or offensive, the word 'gibberish' might be used instead.

This clip is from the small town in Northern Ireland where I went to secondary school; it was only 12 miles from my home town of Castlederg to Strabane, but I still struggle to understand just what 'Strabane Man' was ranting on about... :roll:

Hi Ken,
in the USA "double dutch" has a very doubtful meaning for a Dutchman - is that meaning in Englisch the same ??

extrusion is pressing molten material into a form. It can be a closed or a open form. Aluminium profiles a extruded though a form; Some of his led lights seem to come from cupboard lamps.
Any idea how he cooles his engine?

Probably through a liquid medium.

If he's using gas to power it, then you could have a nifty heat exchanger set up to cool the coolant.

I'd love to see a 4 cylinder opposed piston engine used as that would have a lovely low c of g like the original but you could have twice as many pistons.
