Is it going to be ritually burned once you graduate?

Astrolite posted:I'm making an RC sub which will hopefully be able to jump out of the water. God drat man, that is cool as hell. And judging by this  video you posted on there:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75Bhq-4Oqrs Even if the sub doesn't work as planned, you'll be able to sell replicas as a "stirring with authority" appliance in specialty kitchen stores.

Liquid Communism posted:Huh. You must be someplace drier than Iowa. 3 foot deep wood without pilings tends to rot out in a few years here because of the snow and rain. We had a big discussion about this a long time ago. Can't remember if it was in this thread or another. Something about fences I think. The gist of it was, if done right, wood sunk in the earth can last a long time with or without pilings. Cup shaped pilings can collect water and hasten rot, some soils hasten rot, but pilings that are hollow-cylinders (no cement on the bottom) are really good. For plain soil, as long as it's well compacted around the wood and there's as few as possible air pockets, it will last decades, probably. Cedar's pretty rot resistant from most soils, provided it's not already infected with fungus, especially when upright. Something about water collecting in the wood fibres I think.

dreesemonkey posted:Finished result (mounted the powerstrip to be accessible so I can switch it off when I'm not using it, I have enough vampire power drain as it is, let alone a TV that I maybe use once a month) CRTs are essentially vacuum tubes, so they have a little heating coil that's always on. When the coils are switched on and off, it significantly reduces lifetime. (Old computers would leave the tubes on all the time, because with that many in play, when they switched it back on, there would always be a few dead ones and it could take hours to track them all down and replace.) Since you hardly use it though, it's not a big deal. Just be aware it won't last forever. With an old TV, I'm sure that's not an issue though. Nice work on the shelf

sneakyfrog posted:is a good thread. I've been super busy the last couple months, I have a huge pile of posting to do. Mobby: my thread on the tractor is long dead but I have all the images / writeups captured on a blog page: http://electric-massey.blogspot.com/2009/06/project-begins.html Let me know if you have questions, I have PMs. A lot of what I did will not apply to your ultralight build but the concepts are mostly similar.

That's a lot of reciprocating energy just centimeters from the dangly bits.
