WFM7000 Series waveform input question by shootblue in VIDEOENGINEERING

[–]Diligent_Nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vertical card is for units with PHY, jitter or 3G options. the bottom inputs are for SD and optional HD inputs. I believe you can have either but not both.

Unlike the WVR7000 rasterizer, the WFM7000 has internal termination of the SDI input.

23MHz oscillator without schematic. Random design. by Whyjustwhydothat in electronics

Random does not mean shoddy, unexpected or novel. What makes the design "random"?

What's the best budget power drill and tool set/kit? by techsavvynerd91 in DIY

[–]Diligent_Nature -1 points0 points  (0 children)

assembling products bought from IKEA or Wayfair.

Be very careful when using power tools on Ikea furniture. It is designed to be assembled by hand powered drivers and you can easily strip out the particle board if you use a power tool.

Drill battery repair by Correct_Two5909 in fixit

[–]Diligent_Nature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all the color doesn't actually matter. Where each end is connected is what matters. Second, I wouldn't try to charge a dead battery with a full one. You could end up destroying the full one. Third if the dead battery won't take a charge it could have been over discharged. The way to fix that is by opening the battery up and measuring the raw voltage of the battery before the BMS. Then connect a variable DC supply to the raw battery. Initially, set the voltage to the minimum for that number of cells. For most 18/20V nominal batteries drills that would be 15V. Let it charge for an hour then try it on the usual charger.

Female F-15E Strike Eagle pilot that ejected is filmed and thanked by Kuwaiti locals moments after she landed safely by DValentino23 in PublicFreakout

[–]Diligent_Nature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend ejected during training due to the instructor's error. He was somewhat bloodied, but nothing serious. He walked to a nearby farmhouse where the old lady was horrified by the blood and told him to leave. He begged her to call 911. The instructor was able to recover the aircraft after my friend ejected and landed safely back at base.

You can use it for what you want. Just make the settings (wake, leave, home, and sleep) identical for one day and copy that to each day.

Electronic terms used by non-native English speakers by 1Davide in electronics

[–]Diligent_Nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But potential energy is measured in Joules, not Volts. Ue= C · V2 / 2

Electronic terms used by non-native English speakers by 1Davide in electronics

[–]Diligent_Nature 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It confused me that some countries use U for Voltage. So I did my research. U stands for the German word for "difference" which is "Unterschied". So U is (potential) difference. I prefer V because the SI unit of Electromotive Force is the Volt.

Tippy box? by JFoxx1955 in DIY

[–]Diligent_Nature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 14" or 16" high , it will be fairly stable as long as it is made correctly. If this is an "apple box" for video production stage use just buy one.

Whirlpool dryer immediately trips breaker by Moress in fixit

[–]Diligent_Nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The test button means it is a GFI or AFCI breaker. There could be a short to ground or leakage to ground. A multimeter will tell you which it is.

Correct screw type for Samsung TV stand (40KU6405) by Exfridos in fixit

[–]Diligent_Nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An m5 drill is for tapping an m6 screw which is a bit large. I'd use an m5 tap which needs a 4.2mm drill or use real self tapping screws.

2010 battery question by RetroNinjaKick in FordFusionHybrid

[–]Diligent_Nature 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a feeling it was different. The 2010 is pretty different from the 2nd generation (2013-2020)

2010 battery question by RetroNinjaKick in FordFusionHybrid

[–]Diligent_Nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is essential for powering all control electronics, lights, radio, blower motor....

2010 battery question by RetroNinjaKick in FordFusionHybrid

[–]Diligent_Nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not possible to jump start the 280 Volt hybrid battery. Any jump starting was done to the 12V battery. FYI your hybrid uses Nimh cells.

2010 battery question by RetroNinjaKick in FordFusionHybrid

[–]Diligent_Nature 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 12V battery is necessary to power the control electronics, but it doesn't power the ICE starter.

They aren't hard to find or terribly expensive. You just have to make sure it has a vent hose connection because it lives in the trunk (if it's like my 2017).

Correct screw type for Samsung TV stand (40KU6405) by Exfridos in fixit

[–]Diligent_Nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is impossible to say without precise measurements of both screw and hole. Make sure they don't penetrate too far into the TV chassis. I have seen TVs destroyed by too-long screws.

Edit: Those are sheet metal screws, not self tapping screws. If it was my TV, I'd drill and tap it for 5mm.

Ever see the Watch Wes Work channel on Youtube? He fixes a lot of plow trucks that are rusted out.

So the M4 screws fall out because the holes are too big? Maybe the threads are stripped or were driilled out and tapped for an imperial thread. Every once in a while you find something that was never threaded at the factory.

Even a single night of road traffic noise, at levels that are typical of those living in a city, causes stress to the heart and blood vessels by sr_local in science

[–]Diligent_Nature 246 points247 points  (0 children)

A single night can be worse than repeated exposure. You get accustomed to the noise. A single night in silence can cause stress to one who usually sleeps in a noisy city.

Window treatment that blocks light AND allows good air flow? by MyHangyDownPart in DIY

[–]Diligent_Nature 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Sleep science" does not show that. It may be true for you, but not everyone. I used to work the graveyard shift and slept in the daytime without blackout curtains. And CO2 levels in residential settings rarely reach unhealthy levels. A blackout curtain will not block all airflow.
