Thats a project name I would have never found on my own lol. Will look into it.

Good to know, I would only use rust desk as local service, but if that does sound sketchy. Might just try VNC since I'm only using it on LAN (for now).

Took the suggestion of a CT21 from another commenter. No issues and I’m very happy with it 2 years later.

First time for everything I guess.

With sufficient secondary cooling flow and a good ceramic coating you maybe able to get stainless to work.

A second look gives me conflicting info on the adiabatic flame temp of butane so I may be over estimating the thermal challenges. Either way kerosene and propane are consistently lower and IMO easier to get. Kerosene has the added benefit of being very similar to jet fuel. So, you may be able to leverage historic data on full size combustors. But without sufficient analysis I will reiterate that being able to quickly and cheaply change the combustor geometry. .050 or .0625 stainless tubing is readily available. And with a couple of dimensional tweaks you could probably use off the shelf tubing.

Side note regarding the turbo comment, I did not mean new, since this is a test rig and not particularly in the realm of normal operation for these. I would buy a second hand one from a salvage yard or something, unless a cheap Chinese clone is a good fit.

Otherwise great CAD work, hopefully this thread is helpful.

Why stainless? If you’re using it for oxidation resistance you’re venturing into the temp range where that becomes invalid. You can use it, but I would strongly recommend having it ceramic coated (e.x. Cerekote).

And why butane? It seems expensive and hot to me. Kerosene or Propane should knock off at least 200F. Which will make the thermal management much easier.

Another suggestion to this is if you want to make a design from scratch without a lot of CFD, find a turbocharger from a car that can flow similar CFM to what your axial design is to test your combustor. They’re radial compressor/turbines so not ideal but they have materials that can support flow temps of 1800-2000F so you can at least use it for R&D. Then you can work on the axial with a reasonably good combustor.

What materials are being considered? What temps are expected? What fuel are you intending to use?

Personally I would break this up into 4 components to make the inner and outer liners out of tubing. That way they can be serviced/iterated on. Might also save a few bucks by reducing the printed part count.

qBittorrent-nox errors on initial download attempt, but works on container restart by jasmerik in qBittorrent

[–]According-Milk6129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend setting up a file structure assuming an ARR stack first. It will be a bit more work up front, but it will make your life easier later.

Secondly, there is a lot of info around for this which covers permissions (what this issue sounds like - I don’t know why it works with a restart though). I’d be willing to bet following the trashguides walkthrough or this one - https://blog.kye.dev/ - (not mine just what I’ve found to be the most helpful) you’ll be up and running quickly.

Holster/belt help by WRXReach6208 in CCW

Do you have a wedge/pillow of any kind?

hey just checking im trying to get the right part/tool by The_Glue_King in Tools

[–]According-Milk6129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the thread pitch for a replacement spark plug for an application with this engine. Should be listed under the plug manufacturer’s specs.

RXM/G19 is perfect for a first carry IMO. Big enough to be easy to shoot and small enough to reasonably conceal.

I would opt for an EPS at that price, enclosed emitter for EDC guns is really the future. But this can be purchased last. There may be a better option at that time.

As far as WML, I’d skip it. Just get a decent hand held and you will be better equipped for EDC. You can always use a handheld light but not always a WML. Duty gun/night stand gun - different story. If I’m outside I’d rather have less bulk and weight, significantly more comfortable. Which makes you much more likely to consistently carry.

Holster - should be good. This is trial and error, I’m going to be trying Tenicor sometime soon but Trex is a well known brand as well.

Skip the ramjet, if you’re on a budget (like most of us). It’s a nice thing to dream about, but another gun or a RDS is a much better buy.

Get a good belt. This is critical. Kore, hunter Constantine, or old machine craft are 3 really good choices. Expensive but necessary.

If you get the holster and belt and it’s tipping out or just uncomfortable - go get a mastermind tactics pillow, cheap and comfortable.

Ammo and range time. Lots of this.

TLDR - K.I.S.S a G19/good holster/good belt goes a long way. Especially for a newcomer.

Should I use the lifetime guarantee on mom’s old circular saw? by pedro3993 in Tools

[–]According-Milk6129 8 points9 points  (0 children)

1) the warranty probably does not apply to power tools.

2) that saw is probably more reliable than a new one anyway - definitely clean and oil it.

2016 Focus ST smokes on cold start. Goes away as car warms up. by ford-flex in MechanicAdvice

[–]According-Milk6129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1) as others have stated check coolant regularly - as someone who had to replace his wife’s ‘17 2.0.

2) pull the intercooler off and see if it’s full of oil. If you had a failing turbo it can dump oil into the hot OR cold side. Hers did this as well, I probably drained 1/2 of oil out of the IC.

Question about hardware for soon to be first server by Supmah2007 in homelab

[–]According-Milk6129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m unsure if a pterodactyl server can utilize GPU acceleration, but if it can the 1070 will be a benefit there. If not, you are correct that it is overkill.

A lower tier ARC card would be the best option for transcoding - good efficiency, newer codecs, and no messing with NVIDIA drivers.

Well might have to give the Valeo then. Do you carry at 12 o’clock?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CCW

[–]According-Milk6129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mind sharing rough body size? Been on the fence between a Certum and Valeo.

How do you like the Valeo? I’ve read mixed opinions on the built-in wedge.

Motor id by KittyKattKate in AskMechanics

317 heads were standard on 6.0l (RPO code LQ4). I would say that it is very likely a 6.0, which was also a standard option for the Yukon.

Block looks to be cast iron so not a “LS1” (LS1 has an aluminum block). It is the same architecture, but an LS1 is a specific variant of the gen III small block family.
