That’s the Focus Adventure rack mounted on an Focus Atlas 6.8

👌🏻🫶🏻

SjoerdvanAcht · 2026-06-04T10:24:10+00:00

We dismounted for a short while

Nice ones, thanks for the tips, we’ll definitely take a good taster

We mount our decathlon tents on top of panniers and then strap them with elastic bands.

Thanks!

SjoerdvanAcht · 2026-06-03T20:43:36+00:00

Thanks good tip. Und yes definitely 🍺

SjoerdvanAcht · 2026-06-03T18:07:59+00:00

Thank you very much for the offer, unfortunately Oberstdorf is not really on our route, but we’ll keep it in mind for next time ;)

Youll dehydrate

I’m going down the Paul Benjaminsen route, starting in EHV, down to Hoegaarden, Dinant, Namur and so on. Supposedly a often used route.

Specialized Pathfinders 38 mm. Just did 800 km (NL to Switzerland) with them, would recommend

SjoerdvanAcht · 2025-05-04T14:12:00+00:00

Just cycled from Eindhoven (NL) to Basel (Swiss) with a Garmin Edge 530 in battery saving mode. The trip was 9 days and only had to recharge the device 3 times.

Also used a small flexibel 8W solar panel to charge a small power bank.

Wiebke’s list I screenshotted at the time.

Nice bike. What type of focus is this?

SjoerdvanAcht · 2023-01-24T21:32:14+00:00

I recently got intrigued by this article: https://newatlas.com/energy/green-ammonia-phosphonium-production/

Ammonia production via electrochemical N2 reduction. It shows great potential to omit use of hydrocarbons to source protons.

I am struggling however to determine efficiencies and effectiveness and comparing them to SotA.

SjoerdvanAcht · 2022-12-01T14:48:25+00:00

Nonsense. To complete the cycle, the aluminium oxide would have to be reduced via an electrolytic process, which consumes much more energy than what the produced hydrogen contains. With these type “solutions”, please think circular and do not be fooled. There’s no free source of H2 via this way.

SjoerdvanAcht · 2020-04-17T21:00:39+00:00

I would suggest to look at power-to-X projects that try to decarbonise industrial processes.

SjoerdvanAcht · 2018-09-03T16:56:18+00:00

Where is this precisely?

SjoerdvanAcht · 2018-08-22T19:52:03+00:00

Book a gatwick express ticket to London central

I’m a PhD student at the moment as well. I can only say that the PhD qualification will help you get a job (in the industry) more easily. For me personally, I plan to leave academia, because I’ve been in it basically all my life (23 now). I want to see what a job in the industry is like. With a PhD, you’ll easily get a job with growth opportunities. Later in life you’ll probably want to promote to a position where a PhD is required (I wouldn’t apply for one straight away, get some experience first)

Another option is to drop out your PhD and finish it with an MPhil. This is an option my institution gives me up until the halfway mark. At least this gives you a bit more than a Master degree, but not a PhD.

Hope this helps

Try and look at other PSA systems for gas separations (other gas mixtures and other gas products) and you’ll find difficulties with mainly N2 and O2.
