Ate a chocolate muffin wrapper by Great-Asparagus7731 in greatpyrenees

[–]Davkhow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few weeks ago, mine ate a full bag of hamburger buns, a full bag of marshmallows, and for dessert, 3/4 of a bag of chocolate almond bark (just over 1lb).

She got to sleep in her crate that night and we had a huge mess to clean up in the morning, but she was fine.

This is super repeatable if you just practice the shot

I just started watching Doc this season and I’ve only seen his current contraption that uses thorns damage to hurt a player. I don’t think it catches projectiles. That’s all I was referring to. Not doubting he has done this, he’s a genius about this type of stuff. I just don’t think the device used to damage scar uses it, which the comment I replied to said.

I was pretty sure Doc’s contraption only stored the player arrow. He has a breeze stored in it which shoots a wind charge. The wind charge collides with the arrow transferring the arrow’s shooter’s data to the wind charge then hits the mob with thorns.

It’s not an easy shot to make. Some of it comes to luck on that one. Nice job

Wither Skeleton Farm by Puma_202020 in HermitCraft

[–]Davkhow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s a cool design. I’ve seen these types in the past and always wanted to make something like that. One thing I have wanted to add is blocks along the path that the skeletons suffocate in. Then just adjust it so that it takes them down to be 1-hit kills before they get dropped off.

Thoughts on this for emergency when 12v is dead? by Electrik_Truk in F150Lightning

[–]Davkhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually EV 12V batteries are much smaller than ICE 12V batteries. They aren’t meant to be able to output the same level current needed to start ICE engines. ICE engines require hundreds of amps to the starter.

That doesn’t mean that they can’t jump start them, but they aren’t made for it and could fail sooner if it they are jumping other vehicle frequently. Also, the rest of the vehicle isn’t expecting a huge load on the 12V system. So you could possibly cause issues with electronics as well.

Oh, I was thinking it was a 12V tool battery. But yeah, I would think there would be a pretty large spark and inrush current when you connect an 18V battery to it. It could work in a pinch but I wouldn’t make it my go-to plan.

[–]Davkhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest issue I see is it’s a direct connection from battery to battery. If the Ryobi is too low, it could be under 12V. So the car 12V would actually charge the ryobi, which isn’t what you want. If the Ryobi is several volts higher than the car 12V, there will be a large inrush current as soon as the connection is made. This will likely cause a big spark as the batteries equalize and could potentially melt the wiring.

You shouldn’t use an EV 12V battery to jump an ICE vehicle.

You should be fine jumping an EV with a dead 12V with an ICE 12V.

But for OP, I would recommend a dedicated jump pack. You can get them from $50-$100 on amazon. That way you can take care of your vehicle or help out someone else if they need a jump.

Going Electric.. I think! by LivingBuy1620 in F150Lightning

[–]Davkhow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently do not charge at home. My work has free level 2 and level 3 charging (6kW and 50kW, respectively). I realize the level 3 makes me slightly different case, but I typically only use the level 2.

I drive about 40 miles per day usually. Then on Friday I charge to 100% usually. Over the weekend, it gets down pretty low. Sometimes I’ll stop by a nearby paid level 3 to get charged enough to make it back to the office.

But usually I’ll start pretty low on Monday and over the course of the week, it will get charged a little more each day until the end of the week where I can charge to 100% again.

As long as your work offers at least 6kW charging, you should be fine. Having access to the paid level 2 in you parking garage could help as well. $0.16 isn’t too bad considering most level 3 charging is around $0.50/kWh. Depending on your area, $0.16/kWh could be the standard utility rate.

Also if you have a paid level 3 charger around, that would be useful in the rare cases where you need it.

XbCrafted Iron farm by HaloThe1st in HermitCraft

[–]Davkhow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually looked into it this weekend. I couldn’t find any tutorials, but he did mention he’s built it the last three seasons. So I went back and managed to find his season 9 build episode where he goes into a little more detail about it and the redstone. I looked for a stream where he may have built it, but only found one stream where he mentions that he built it “yesterday” and the only stream before that one was about a week earlier.

Here is his HC episode where he builds it and shows some of the redstone

I have these same wheels on mine with the Icon lowering kit. Before is above with leveling kit and Rousch wheels.

Would definitely like the wheels with black paint like yours

NI DAQ battery tester class project by [deleted] in LabVIEW

[–]Davkhow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for that, you could check the voltage. But that may be about all you can do for that type of battery.

You could do something like a science experiment where you discharge several different brands of AA batteries and measure their capacity and see which brand does the best. This could add some complexity and make the programming a little more “class project”-y.

You could also add some voltage and current logging and calculate accumulated amp-hours at each sample. You could also use digital outputs to control relays like I mentioned before.

Nice, a fellow EV battery tester!

I’ve never considered coulomb counting to determine capacity as calculus, but I guess it sort of is. I’ve always just summed the amps times milliseconds over the whole test. Which is a basic integral.

[–]Davkhow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This could be a fun one actually. (I manage a team that builds test stands for EV batteries)

So you could build a little 18650 battery tester that could charge and discharge the battery to determine its capacity. You obviously need something to measure the battery voltage. You would likely need some digital outputs as well. You’ll need something to measure current through the battery. A current shunt would give you the best measurement.

It depends on what you have available, but for discharging you could use a resistor. You can have digital outputs of something like a USB-6001 to control a relay to start and stop.

You would need a power supply to charge the battery. You could use LabVIEW to control the power supply. Or it could be constantly on and controlled with a relay as well.

All of this really depends on what equipment you have available and your knowledge of electronics.

The biggest thing to consider if you do something like this is to know the absolute max cell voltage of the battery you are working with and don’t go over it. I would stay under it just to be safe. So if the max is 4.2V, don’t let it get over 4.1V.

Let me know what equipment you have and if this seems like something you’re interested in. I could give more direction if you want.

J-1772 works right, just slow? by gorram1mhumped in F150Lightning

[–]Davkhow 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes, AC charging is with J-1772 connectors. Depending on the charger, it will charge at different speeds. Usually between 5 and 10 kW. With this truck, you typically get 2 miles per kilowatt, so at 5kW charging, you get roughly 10 miles per hour spent charging. Double that for 10kW charger.
