>>1290081The post is junk. Trash opinions, literal autism probably an underpowered teen. 13.5 years? Haha, yeah, right before its keys melt together. You will be lucky if it develops half those shitposts that in practice. The joke is also missing, not that it would be a good joke. I'd stick to using 5 different discs in it and always, always, always, MacGyver everything yourself and not depend on what the other posters say. Also, do not trust that the other posters have interests completely parallel to your own. your post has copypasta potential and I have too much autism not to try. i'd have done the last sentence but honestly it is just too good of advice to turn into a shitpost.
>>1290061very cool find. Also you should sell them to a drug dealer
>>1292126Got a chronic back problem.. so looked for a job here.weather is good here and if Iam off work I'll just chill in the dead sea.Works like a charm.
I have a problem.Neighbor dogs barking loud at night.I want to make acoustic device to frighten dogs and force them to go back doghuse. And not awaken all neighbors.The distance ~330 ft and line of sight.So, how to make directional horn?The source of sound would be spark generator. Dogs dont like it, I tested.The construction, I have now, is thick cardboard tube, inner diameter 2" and spark gap at one closed end. It works, but too loud at night and not very directional.
>>1293295> focusSo I asks! Howto focus damn acoustic waves??!

How would you improve that into a wedding memory box - only wood or metal, no lace, heart or whatever "cute" things
Yes I plan to sand it, depending on the wood I will treat it with oil, wax, lacquer or glazing paint. Or maybe natural veneer.But then ?I was thinking about adding some vintage wood or metal decorations but my box will stay very common.How can I transform a simple square box into something very special that will keep for the next 50 years ?
>>1292969>the material makes it specialYou should divorce if
>>1292817>wedding memory boxRed Cross. Must have been one hell of a wedding night.
>>1292969Add nice metal corner caps/foot type things to protect it from getting dulled and losing it's form if you really want it to stick around for another 50 years. Silver metal, paint it white(classic wedding color, maybe some contrast detailing), maybe a small handmade commemorative plaque on the top? Some nice handles on the sides so it's easier for your wife to handle if she wants to show some people sometime. Change the latch like someone else said.
>>1292817put it in a shipping container and build another box like it out of used pallet wood, then add a RPI to provide a light when you open the lid
Realistically, how much would it cost to get electricity and water in an isolated area in a first world country e.g. the UK? Enough water for one person, enough electricity for a fridge/heater.

I've got this promotional video brochure thing, made by mayways. The pcb has four solder pads next to each other, labeled GDN, R, L and PA. anyone know what that is? the board is labelled MWS-AK2065.I don't think it's audio since there's already a speaker connected somewhere else on the board
Hey guys, im trying to build a dummy battery for my pocket wifi since my battery is already swollen and wanted to use it 24/7 thus the idea if this project.I have zero knowledge about electronics but can read a basic schematic. I saw images of DIY dummy batteries but no further info about the schematic and resistor values are either tampered or censored. Luckily I found 2 images that aren't censored but their not clear.So I tried to figure the values by their color code but wasn't so sure if I'm correct. I need your thoughts about these. TIA

hey guys,I plan to have the shitty hollow core doors in all the bedrooms replaced with some solid core doors. I'm wondering, is it possible to install an exterior prehung fiberglass door in the interior? Halfway up the stairs you can see into my bedroom from the crack beneath the door, pisses me the fuck off, and having a door with a sill seems like the answer, because those draft guards look like shit to me. But that raises the question whether a sill/threshold can be installed over the tile indoors as normally there's just that gap there, I've never done it before so I don't know and I can't find anything on installing exterior doors indoor online so I defer to /diy/'s genius.Also, will the weatherstripping seal my bedroom up so tight air wont properly circulate throughout the home?
>>1292206weatherstripping?
>>1292171>is it possible to install an exterior door inside?Just the door? Sure. The door and the frame/threshold are separate things, even though doors are often sold 'pre-hung'. So, just install the door and forget the threshold.Door AND the threshold? Whoa, there guy, you can't... just kidding. Yeah, you can do that too it's just more work.
>>1292062>Also, will the weatherstripping seal my bedroom up so tight air wont properly circulate throughout the home?Yes. Unless each of the rooms has it's own return duct, there needs to be a gap at the bottom of all interior doors for proper air circulation. Otherwise the room will basically just get "pressurized" byt the HVAC supply duct and the airflow will diminish.You could get around that by cutting a hole in the wall (or door) and putting a louvered vent in it.
>>1292365You think these type of door sweeps with brushes will allow enough air to circulate through?
>>1293300this isnt how doors are meant to work. its a fire code thing. doors are meant to provide a reasonable seal to prevent fire spreading. the whole idea is that if a room catches fire you can just close the door, call the fire department and wait outside. fire doors give you 15 minutes, interior doors are meant to give five minutes. the idea is that if say a curtain catches fire or sum shit then it just burns out the one room. instead of your house turning into a blazing furnace within a few minutes.

>>1292270>They need to be properly trained years before it happens.This.But what you also need to consider is that the first generation of 2000 will not achieve much more beyond subsistence survival. Maybe iron age technology with an advantage in basic biology (won't have to re-learn that drinking the village poo water causes cholera). Come the next generation, most of the more advanced knowledge of the first group will be lost. Unless it gets written down and a culture of science and education can be created. Subsequent generations may have to be told to skip over the parts of the library dedicated to quantum physics, microelectronics and software. Until society has grown to the point that a manufacturing base can be supported by the economies surplus.So, in addition to survival, the first generation will have to build a library. Before half of them get eaten by the velociraptors and knowledge is lost forever.

hey guys got any ideas on what i can make with pallets?
>>1262764I've been making Christmas trees out of them and selling them
>>1288072Yes.
>>1262764Take them to a burning man festival and set yourself on fire
>>1285201Old post, but if it keeps somebody from using pallets, I'll say it: don't reuse wood pallets. At my work, we spill so much silica dust on them, you don't want it in your house, that shit is carcinogenic.

Anyone know what I can use to insulate this cat shelter? Is hay just fine?I have stay cats on my property that like to get into my garage or lay behind the bushes presumably trying to stay warm during the winter. So I'm building 2 or 3 of these to help the cats out while at the same time keeping them out of my garage and not hurting them. This is the prototype I made today
>>1292514you would be naive to assume that luring cats into a hotboxed container is my entire agenda. Ultimately am to become God of the cats - You see getting cats stoned is only part one of my plan, in addition to spiking the saucer milk with codeine further inhibiting the consciousness of cats. This will employ the cold water extraction method of OTC Tylonel-2 since they’re legal and the end product resembles milk, a pasty white liquid of codeine. After cats are stoned and incapacitated by codeine I’m going to force them to watch special videos strapped to a tiny chair I specially made for cats. All the videos will present me as their God in different ways until my experiments are successful in achieving command over nature
>>1291213This. Focus on wind/rain protection and a roof. Cat can take care of rest with body heat / fur.
>>1292723You had me at "tiny chair".

This box is mounted on the wall near my furnace. There are two cords coming out of the box. Both cords (one is the thickness of a standard power cord, the other is similar to thermostat wire) run to my furnace. What is this box?Possible useful information: I have a heat pump with an electric furnace.
>>1293150That's an old electrical finger box. They phased them out in the 90's
>>1293162Lost
>>1293150Your heat pumps brains.The blue wires are for the electric furnace.
>>1293170I disagree. A heatpump's mcu is always in the furnace and would need a lot more wires. This is something else.I'm bored so I'll give it a shot.Googling ABB Power Co. shows they're an industrial supplier for grid equipment but their site has no reference to a "LMT-3000". From the picture the board in the back of the case has one relay and components for a low voltage PSU to power the logic PCB mounted on the door. The logic PCB has two rails, +12 and +5, a darlington transistor array to drive the relay, a duel differential comparator, and duel op amps. This is all supporting circuitry which makes me think if you removed that PCB and flipped it over you'd find a microcontroller. My guess is it's a controller letting the power company switch off your A/C during high demand.
>>1293209>My guess is it's a controller letting the power company switch off your A/C during high demand.You are probably 99% right. Except my off-peak electric is only during the winter. My power company can shut off my electro boiler, water heater, and my heat pumpThanks for the info
A friend of mine is having issues with her unit. Furnace/AC is on the roof of an old house she just bought, and was told by the previous owner that the AC doesn't work, but the heater does and they will install a new thermostat. After the replacement, still no air and now no heat but the blower fan runs constantly when the breaker is on and will not stop. Getting continuity from red to yellow at the thermostat, traced it out to the roof and have continuity on the red to yellow terminals on the block. Any idea what's going on? Google is no help. Checked for short in thermostat wires, checked proper voltages, checked fuses. Everything basic maintenance wise is good except the blower seems to be stuck in a normally closed position. Best idea I had was the fan limit switch has given out.
>>1292682Op here, found a short from melted conductors, replaced them and everything is good. Thanks for the help though.
Check for melted conductors OP, thats the best bet.
>>1292714And OP, if you find any, replace them and report back on any progress.
>>1292714>>1292735He's just too embarrassed to admit it was the capacitors. He replaced the ones that were bulging.
In my experience with HVAC 3/5 of the times it's a capacitor on a sentry unit. Best way to tell if the compressor is running though is the air coming from the top is warmer than the air around. If it is then you've got AC. If the compressor runs with the fan and you can confirm the compressor is running, you're low on freon. If the top fan isn't running that should be obvious what you need to change. Just for future reference, of course, but it's usually the capacitor on the unit itself.
My parents have this ventilation laundry dryer from Gorenje (model D50110) - I'm an EUfag. Well, yesterday the old work horse finally gave out and went out in a blaze of smoke, quite literally. Then I opened it up, tested the electronics, the drum, the ventilator, the thermostat, the heating element - everything is in great condition, except this thin, yellow strip of isolation between the heating element and the drum. So I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the replacing these, since the years of lint caused it to smolder and it stinks up the place when you turn the dryer on. I figure replacing it wouldnt be too hart, I just dont know what material its made out of.

>>1293104The motor in those sits below the drum, it’s open frame and the drum is sealed on the front and back with felt... the leak lint like crazy not just whirlpool but all brands especially if you have lots of cottony loose clothing... clean the inside of your dryer at least every other year... the vent it’s connected to and laundry run through it affects this a lot... have opened up ancient dryers with gobs of lint and also some with none... have seen a few new dryers accumulate large amounts of lint in like 2 months because of crappy vents and customers running baby clothes through them... baby stuffs usually softer and also more likely to be new since kids grow fast... = shitload of lint

Can we talk about dome houses? I have been researching it and the concept is very cool, unfortunately it seems to have been taken over by hippie faggots and looks like a nightmare to get through local body permissions.>Strong as fuck>aesthetic>easy to build>cheap to build
>>1289807how do you even frame a dome?
>>1289807All you need is a big factory crane that can move in (x,y,z), a computer to control it, a plastic extrusion nozzle, and a bunch of feed stock. Lay out your design on the PC, then 3D print your hobbit lair. Or that Sealand 2017 monstrosity, whatever. ...

What about this /diy/. Referring to pic related, you can build a simpler structure to pass city standards, in blue. Then you can continue the sphere shape and possible central structural piece. Could possibly be done without it since the simple structure should be up to code. Then I see the potentially endless designs as you use the sphere structure to be decorative and light.
>>1289807If OP is serious he will contact builders of dome structures directly then study how they do it and compare. >hurricane proof for cheapWonder why geodesic domes never made it outside military radome cover use? They suck to seal and aren't particularly stout. Fine for keeping modest weather and sunlight off radar antennae though. Concrete domes OTOH can survive wildfires and are amply strong for earthquake zones though you need to have your design approved. If you must go geodesic and get the design approved it won't be cheap.
