future batteries will be graphene nano-composites and will definitely be much more energy dense, by at least one order of magnitude within 10 years. simple chemical batteries are so 20th century

Deteriorata posted:Not many. Thermoelectric generators are only about 10% efficient, so you need a lot of heat for a little bit of power. You will get that little bit of power for several decades, though. Radioisotope thermoelectric generators coupled with capacitors then? The battery of the future.

God, my grandmother used to burn "sulfur candles" in her greenhouse each Spring to, basically, kill everything living. Plant, or animal. Sulfur Dioxide will take you down fast. There must not be a live insect within 10 miles of that fire.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKkvJhNGhiw "Grab a bukkit of water!" I woulda' thrown the breaker myself. Series arc faults like this don't carry enough current to trip a standard circuit breaker but do have enough energy to start a nasty fire. The NFPA requires on new construction AFCI (arc fault circuit interrupters) in certain areas like bedrooms to stop this sort of thing, however AFCI breakers are are more complex than a GFCI (I believe the breakers actually have a little microprocessor in them to detect the signals arcing cause), more expensive, and I also believe that things like motors can cause them to nuisance trip.

ExecuDork posted:Now that there's no risk of getting fired, any chance of a thread? "I have an interesting job" threads are why I paid Lowtax my We had one job where a guy had shot his girlfriend and then himself - Cleanup involved removing all the kitchen tile, and then a chunk of ceiling (he shot, you know, upwards). The girlfriend survived, but was in the hospital so the apartment was empty. Some contractor looking guy knocked and then let himself in, and I started in on the "This is a contaminated site, I can't have you in here, etc". Turns out he's the girl's dad, collecting stuff to bring her. He was pretty cool though, strangely upbeat. Talked poo poo about the boyfriend, grabbed some stuff, took off. We had another one that just came in as a post construction cleaning (literally just a final cleaning of a house after renovations done by another company). I sent a crew out, and a couple hours later I get a call from the crew chief, and he's *pissed*. When he got there, the client, a middle aged man, was just walking around in a daze, occasionally crying, just looked awful apparently. The crew chief, not knowing any better and just looking to make small talk asks the guy what happened, you know, was it a fire or was it water damage that required all the construction? The guy looks at him, sorta in shock and confusion, and says 'my daughter was murdered'. Turns out the adjuster that gave us the work didn't bother mentioning that because he figured between the last name and the town, we would have realised (it was a big news story).

My dad visited a friend from church's house to look at some of their receptacles and it turns out they were all backstab connected - poorly. So poorly in fact that some of the receptacles were charred and fell apart in his hands as he pulled them from their boxes. He looked at them and said "Do you realize how close you were to having your entire home burn to the ground?" So yeah, when buying a home make sure you have someone check that kind of thing. It's nothing to screw around with. (Pardon the pun.) On the lighter side: I think I found PhotonicInduction's crazier, Australian brother: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SWnLeXatrw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq6T5BojXc8 <-- It's like a chain chomp!

Ed's pretty cool and generally safe. Worked in a factory which made and serviced pumps, then on to plastic extruders. I think the most dangerous thing he made was his little electric motorbike it was sad when his uploads petered off. Nothing like Photon who would happily have thousands of volts inches from his hands, that said Photon is a professional lunatic.

However I do know people who make excellent braziers from old tall gas cylinders that have the top and bottom lopped off, get airholes drilled in and then weilded to a catchment tray made from a circular plowing bit and star droppers weilded to that as legs. Just keep dropping hunks of Redgum into it and your guests are kept toasty warm all night.
