Thanks. Tell them you think it's arcing, makes kind of a pop noise when you fiddle with it. I bet they replace it in 24-hours.

Baronjutter posted:I love it when tenants make unauthorized "upgrades" to their unit then after demand some sort of compensation, that's a thing that actually happens according to landlords I've talked to. Like "Hey I put in a new fancy sink in the bathroom, here's my invoice I think we should go 50/50 because I added value to your unit" ...And some will say they're fine with it, until you actually bring them a receipt.

Any kid who played with slot cars knows what ozone smells like. Hold the car just high enough that the current is arcing and sparking like crazy, and that smell is basically ozone. I used to associate it with 'electricity' smell.

I got a LETTER in the MAIL stating my weeds on the front sidewalk had to be removed by the 28th or they'd assess a $65 fine every week until I fixed it. I received this letter today, Aug 31st. gently caress HOAs.

HycoCam posted:Ozium is different than ozone. Although ozone has been used as a air cleaner. Yeah, I bought my old van via internet auction and it smelled like an ashtray. A friend of mine had an ozone machine - we let it run in the van overnight and like 80% of the cig smell was gone. The remaining 20% faded over the next month or two

Ahhhh I think we have one of those at my school. My boss said it was an air purifier or something. Thanks boss but that doesn't solve the root of the problem: that I share a classroom with a hoarder and mice were living in the storage closet.

Thanks boss but that doesn't solve the root of the problem: that I share a classroom with a hoarder and mice were living in the storage closet. OZONISERS (I just like how that looks) are nowadays sold as air purifiers to consumers a lot so you have people inhabiting buildings that have serious mold or other air problems and then they exacerbate that by running a machine that produces poison gas 24/7. Good times.

To be fair Ozone generators are pretty great at getting the sooty smell out of places that were fire-adjacent recently.

I was going to say “I’d only be comfortable with that if it were on a generous concrete pad with halon fire suppression”, but then I considered how I am comfortable parking cars, petrol or electric, in a garage attached to my house. I would still review my insurance policy very carefully and keep a webcam pointed at the shed just in case. Baronjutter posted:I imagine the slight smell my drill gives off through the vents is ozone? Yeah. Brushed motors create small arcs many times per second.

I could go into the safety aspects of this, but honestly the biggest issue is that he has tons of mixed cells (you can't really tell until the end of the video, since he puts similar cells on the exterior of the packs, presumably for cosmetic reasons). Using mismatched cells of vary ages means the individual cells might have very different full charge capacities and impedance during charge and discharge. Even he does everything safely, this will impose a bunch of restrictions on the overall capacity of the battery banks, as well as their overall efficiency. Otherwise, it looks cool as hell.

In that same shot, it looks like he has an absolute assload of extra cells though. I'd imagine it'd be possible to test each cell and bundle them in groups that share similar charge/discharge/impedance characteristics?

Nuevo posted:In that same shot, it looks like he has an absolute assload of extra cells though. I'd imagine it'd be possible to test each cell and bundle them in groups that share similar charge/discharge/impedance characteristics? Definitely it's possible! Cell manufacturers even do this themselves at the end of cell production---the cells are partially charged in parallel (I believe), and then sorted based on the estimated maximum capacity (and, at least for the Japanese cells, this means that they are graded from D-C-B-A-S rank--they might have "F" too, but they might also omit it for obvious reasons). They can sometimes charge very slightly more for the better cells, but mostly pack manufacturers want to build packs only using cells from the same lot and of the same grade. This helps ensure that they age more evenly and that a mismatch doesn't develop over time.
