I appreciate your intent to help other people, but without a descriptive title you're gonna greatly limit how many people see this and can search for it later when they need help. I suggest renaming it with a descriptive title
I used the original title of the video on YouTube, even though it is not very descriptive. I would like to "editorialise" titles as little as possible. But here it would have made sense to change it. So, thank you!
I watched this video this morning and went on an imagination journey of how to harness the most heat from this concept:
-would copper pipe or flat bar absorb the most heat.
-Would completing a full loop over the entire surface of the magnets be effective.
-Bar/pipe above and below the magnets to double the power?
-Could this be submerged in a hot water cylinder and driven externally? Or would you need a connected rod to go through the cylinder. (Barings through a how water cylinder would be a challenge)
-How efficient is this in terms of converting kinetic energy, in comparison to an alternator driving a heat pump.
If you can harness the wind, like they seem to have enough of in Ireland, I guess it could be cost-effective. A windmill may be overkill, but some kind of "vertical propeller" (how are they called?) may be enough.
OTOH, a windmill would be a great toy to play with, so I can understand his wish 😀
Honestly, the a lot of his episodes are just "buy this one thing, and all your woodworking problems will end!" but this one got me.
I usually just make squared doors like a normal human, but I think the 15° bevel may just be the answer to a problem I didn't know I had.
I have a router table I made this winter, and I'm redoing my kitchen (any day now) so I just ordered these. No idea if they'll be worth it, but he got me.
Very true, his videos got more and more commercial over the years, unfortunately. But there are still some gems in his videos now and then, like this bevel. However, I don't think, it has to be 15° exactly 😜
I didn't watch the video but it's pretty easy to buy the parts to make a watch and assemble it. Buying a fully ready movement obviously makes it easy.
Pick out about $300 in parts on a website called Lucius Atelier. Buy a $80 tool kit. And a few hours to assemble the movement and dial with the hands into the case.... Voila.
Haha, yes, that's seems to be their business model. OTOH, I am always amazed by these people's abilities to fix the buggers. It's like watchmaking to me, or witchcraft.
That's why you use a hammock. Trade a heavy tent for a light hammock and fly. Then knock down the weight of everything else. Look into ultralight hiking and use poles. Then set realistic distance goals. I thought I'd have to give up hiking after knee surgery, but going ultralight and using poles keeps me racking up the miles.
I used to wrench on tugboats. I got fairly good with imperial over the course of 5 years (we didn't have enough metric parts for me to get used to them). US car mechanics really live in a mixed, but primarily metric world these days.
I can't speak for everyone, but toward the end of my time I began to think of the bolts with far more context than in the beginning. They became less similar, seeming more like individual components than different sizes of the same component.
It's really similar to learning anything. I just spent a few evenings making photos of the southern sky, something I've never really studied. At first, it all looked like random dots, but by the third night, I started seeing them a little differently. The shapes started to have their place.
I can only imagine what it must be like for physicists. When I see even the simplest modern equation, it's completely devoid of meaning. But, there are these people that can look at a whole chalkboard and pick out the one function that's out of place. It's almost a craft, beyond simply understanding the mathematics.
Great explanation, thank you! I can guess, if a nut or bolt is more like a 10 or a 15mm, but not if it's 10 or 11, haha! Yes, it's an art and a science all at once.
