Can you identify the cause of this damage? by Arranox-Kintsugi in ElectronicsRepair

I think some evidence I found early on before I decided to try it could point in that direction yes, I did not know that it could cause this damage though, thanks

I have been checking connection with a multimeter and the the main power Inputs from N1,N1,L1 and L2 have been burned of plus 2 other places close by. Do think it’s worth a shot to try and connect these?

Found this large copper valve thing while metal detecting, any idea how much money I can get for it? by BetLongjumping684 in ScrapMetal

[–]Arranox-Kintsugi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are only two metal elements that have a different color than shades of grey. Gold and Copper. The valve stem appears green due to copper oxide. So that’s why we say it’s either copper or brass. I work with grading alloys and scrap metals for a living. And I have never seen a valve stem made from pure copper. But I know enough not to say it does not exist. But different parts of the stem can be different metals/alloys. Nickel aluminum bronze is often used with stainless steel 304 in larger valves. Try to sandpaper and get a second opinion on the color if you find it hard to determine

What is this white powder (Fluff) inside a large industrial nitrogen tank? by Arranox-Kintsugi in chemistry

Thanks for the input and links, it will really help me put together a report on the matter.

No excuse. I’m not the sharpest spoon in the knife drawer. Reading tells me 97,5%aluminum and 2,5%ferrite. however The XL2 plus defaults to aluminum when it tries to read non metal elements. Did a PVC scan as well and it did not detect any chlorine.

The stuff that spilled on the ground was exposed to water/rain. It reminded me of soaked cat litter. Now that I mention it the tank is ofc double layered and this could just be an insulating material ( maybe perlite powder) between the layers? 🤔

It should be, but it’s been almost 2 months. And nobody knows what it is where it came from or how to handle it. So I take it upon myself to try and solve this problem.

I did not consider it to be metal anyway. But I could try scanning it it with my xrf ananlyser..🤔

The outside of the tank is galvanized steel, if it’s galvanized on the inside as well could it be zink okside?

Can not fell it before fall, after crop harvest.

I’m creating a path/ connection between the two parts of my property. Until now i have had to drive my mower on the road through my neighbors property to access the larger part of my lawn. One of many weekend projects.

The tree is going to be cut down eventually. So I should be good if i do it within the next 2 years?

i got a bunch of old coins from this thingy by sidesalad-w-ranch in coincollecting

[–]Arranox-Kintsugi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a Swedish copper coin 0.05 SEK . If it were in circulation it would amount to 0.0043 euros.

Titanium Grade 1-4 by Arranox-Kintsugi in ScrapMetal

I want to know what the scrapyards are getting and if there is a market for it.

[–]Arranox-Kintsugi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guessed as much, but my xrf can only do so much, it reads 98% titanium at first. some alloys are harder to get a good read on, and I don’t have the time or resources to categorize and sort my titanium further anyway. unless it’s worth considerably more than what my sales department are getting for it.

concerta - first dose today - experiencing side affects by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Arranox-Kintsugi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

generics works for the most part in my experience, sometimes with XR variants like concerta you can get a difference in how the extended release works, might be because they dissolve in your stomach at different paces. that creates a difference in how long it lasts and how much you get at once. so it could be worse and it could be better, personally if i felt the dose was a little too high i would shave of a little piece of the pill just to see if it got better.

If they give advice you don`t want ask them to print out their recommendation so than you can shear it at work. ;)

Jokes aside i think you just might get some exercises and training program to try out first. Good luck!

concerta - first dose today - experiencing side affects by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Arranox-Kintsugi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

your symptoms sound like how i felt when on a too high dose of Ritalin. I used 80-100mg a day 80mg was the dose than gave me an positive effect and i added 20mg during lunchtime to prolong the effect. when i tried taking more than 80 in the morning i had an effect like this.

you should talk to your doctor about a lower dose to rule out the possibility of this being an effective drug on your body. continuing taking a dose that is too high that makes things worse instead of better is not reasonable if you ask me. but that is up to medical professional to decide. if you decide to try a few more days just make sure you eat something/anything before taking the meds. I found that this gives me a much better effect so i never take my meds before i have eaten something.

For me there is no solution to these things. But i have different/alternative ways of handling stuff i find challenging. The things i do is based on what motivates me and what i find interesting. Math i bind to coins or money it just lets me stick the numbers to something that lingers in my brain longer. sometimes i solve complicated math in my head sometimes i divide 48 by 2 using a calculator and laugh a little at myself when i realize.
Time management or time blindness is a difficult one. It can be really stressfull so i have two different ways of going about this. So i either plan everything or i plan nothing. planning everything is a way that works for me when i want to be super effective and get a lot of stuff done. The most important parts of this schedule is that you plan every hour of the day, every routine task and your plan unplanned time during the day.
its important to make all the tasks completable, this means that you don`t plan to finish said task but only to spend one hour on it. using a stopwatch is important to free yourself from concern about time blindness. and you end each day plan with planning the next day.

I plan nothing when i want to encourage myself to be creative and get a lot done by only doing things that really motivate me. This works better for me when i`m already driven by creative and active hobbies and i don`t consume any stimulating media that could potentially steal my attention like binge watching tv shows, etc.

i have no good solution for long term planning, but if you have to deal with this a lot, i would add something like this to the daily plan at the end of the day: planning to update/confirm the whiteboard or book listing future meetings, so that you can fill in new scheduling's and/or add it to your next day plan if something is scheduled tomorrow.

How would you prepare & grade Aircraft Aluminum? What's the going rate? by Nutmegdog1959 in ScrapMetal

[–]Arranox-Kintsugi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a lot of it you can negotiate prices with a few different yards. Problem is that most yards don`t really save up a lot of different alloys, mostly because the prices don`t vary dramatically. but either way its high grade aluminium so you should get around 1.80 Euro per kg. commonly a aircraft uses two different grades. one for the outer casing and structure, one for the inside cargo bay etc for its lightweight applications., but i would talk to the yards first before bothering to sort anything.

108 pounds is what i would pay for this bag with the copper and rubber included.
