(oh im new, dun mind meh)

What engine? the only engine outsied of my place is the blown up lift engine!

[TheBiggerFish]

((The lift's engine is my work anyway, I think.))

"I'll just take over a small place no-one is using. Glass working doesn't require that advanced of tools, mainly molds, which aren't overly hard to make, and I think I would prefer to work in an environment that doesn't have a high probability of randomly exploding."

"The radio idea will have to wait until we have an electronic power source, as I only have a vague idea as to how to create effective batteries."

[TheBiggerFish]

"That's what magic is for.  But I think I have a basic plan for a rechargeable...."

[MoonyTheHuman]

"Speaking of batterys, do we have lithium or cadmium, or does the stuff not exist for it in here?"

[TheBiggerFish]

"I bet they do.  I, personally, don't know."

[MoonyTheHuman]

"if i had access to Cadmium and Nickel, i could make some Nickel Cadmium rechargeable batterys, i can also make some mechanical to electrical generators"

[TheBiggerFish]

"Good luck on that."

[MoonyTheHuman]

"Germanium would also be useful..."
Ponder Electronics!

[TheBiggerFish]

"Indeed it might, although off the top of my head, I wouldn't know what to do with it."

[You've got a deep, fast-flowing river in a deep canyon. Getting an efficient hydroelectric system, perhaps with a series of dams, up and running is likely to give you a steady 10kW at least. That, with some capacitors for instantaneous-amperage-intensive gadgets, should do you fine for a good while.]

[Consider yourself to have a small supply of nickel, but I doubt these particular twenty-odd dwarves, being either multigenerational professional soldiers or conscripted menial laborers, have any idea how to get at much of anything fancy without being told.

That may, of course, change when the migrant wave arrives about a month from now.]

"Aha.  Eh, I can always boot up my datapad thing and do research..."
