  • Oh, Im in northern europe and made in Japan / Taiwan / Korea / China (except lately for the last one) never had any such connotations. I remember Japan and West Germany/Germany as high standard. Still got some West Germany workshop tools I inherited from grandpa, and those might be made to US standards due to US influence in the german reconstruction effort.

    Made in the US items was uncommon as I grew up, only item I remember being made there was a frustrating us clock radio as a child due to it never keeping time right (possible by using the mains frequency as time keeper rather than a crystal). I am born late 80s.

    Im thinking of powering the wave generators with wood gas power, since Im already heating my house with wood fire I just need to starve the furnace of oxygen to make the gas appear. Mimor inconvenience with the added carbon monoxide and tar, but Im sure ill work it out

    I got the same issue, but I solved it by building a desalination system at home. After the water is cleansed by the oyster, the water gets extracted leaving the salt behind which can be added to a new batch of fresh water. Saves me a few salt trips to the store.

    The elctricity bill is a tad bit higher, but I plan to add wave generators to the oyster aquarium so I can extract power from there just by lowering and raising an inflated ball through the water line. Should also help disturbing any deposits in the tank
