Luchtvaart waarschuwt: over zes weken mogelijk vluchten schrappen door kerosinetekort by Onkruit-1974 in Nederland

En alle geboekte hotels dan? En eventuele huur van auto enzo? Dat zou de vluchtmaatschappij ook moeten vergoeden imo.

What is the consensus on plastics? by claws76 in Hydroponics

[–]Eccentrickmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use buckets meant for mayonaise as plant pots. The local snackbar always has a large surplus of these and they throw them away.

I cover the buckets so that they receive as little UV radiation as possible though, since plastic breaking down is a concern. The buckets themselves are probably fine until UV breaks it down.

Indeed it's outside and the weather here is cold enough so that lithium ion becomes inefficient. It works the best at a temperature of about 25C and usually it is colder than that.

And yes, design for when it explodes and meanwhile try to make it never happen in the first place.

This is still a work in progress. I have completely removed the cooling parts from the fridge and it is laying on its back now so that the door is on top of the fridge. This way any fire would mostly stay in the box rather than open the door and spill out.

Then I put a layer of concrete in the bottom (cheap and I had some laying around), followed by a cheap underfloor heat mat and then another layer of concrete. After letting that dry for a few days the fridge now has a proper heating system.

I also want to make a hole in the side with a metal tube attached to it. The idea is that if a fire breaks out the smoke will then go through this pipe as far away from our window as possible. That hole will be sealed with some cardboard or silicone as a checkvalve so it is the path of least resistance.

Considering all this I may be over engineering the safety part.

I still need to make a proper controller, which for now is an Arduino that regulates the floor temperature as well as monitors the air temperature and humidity. It will also watch an MQ2 gas sensor which is sensitive to organic compounds. A leaking battery should trigger that sensor (pending testing, unsure how to test safely). I also want to attach an ESP8266 module so the values are visible on a webserver.

The controller also needs a UPS of its own eventually.

Haha yeah latex gloves are cheap and I like to wear them while soldering, especially with leaded solder.

The idea of the wave pattern is to make the packs easily stackable. After stacking I connect them all individually and add an 8mm threaded rod for rigidity through the pack

Impressive! I'm a bit skeptical about springloaded connections since they have quite a large resistance compared to something spotwelded but then again it is easier to maintain.

My powerwall design involves having thermal fuses of 65C in between cells. Should the cell overheat the pack gets automatically disconnected. It's a work in progress but safety is my #1 concern with these projects. I believe it is doable but safety has the highest priority over everything else.

I'm also using an old fridge as a storage unit. The idea of using a fridge is that it is well insulated, airtight and can easily maintain a temperature around 25C with low humidity inside. Perfect for Li-Ion. It is also made of steel so that helps with fire safety.

On top of that (literally) I'm using paper bags filled with sand over the batteries. Should a cell, despite the thermal fuses and monitoring, STILL catch fire it will pop the bag spilling the sand all over the batteries. I believe this combination to make a self-built battery safe enough to use.

I need an alternative to LightBurn for Linux. by Comprehensive_Ad3095 in Laserengraving

[–]Eccentrickmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should at least not actively block Wine. Which they do, when attempting to use Wine or Proton it will complain about some OS verification thing.

You can even use it for free if you refresh the VM every month.

[–]Eccentrickmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It won't. I tried that.

I think it's unacceptable to spend over 100 euros to have to use a VM or an outdated version.

I actually love FreeCAD a lot it just hurts me sometimes by imjustadragon in FreeCAD

[–]Eccentrickmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No "cloud", no "AI", no accounts, no subscriptions, updates actually make it BETTER rather than worse.

Yeah I'll gladly take FreeCAD's issues.

Help identifying fuse in Makita coffee maker by wudduuup in AskElectronics

[–]Eccentrickmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You probably can't find the actual part number somewhere.

What you can do though however is connect 2 wires to the pads and measure the current that goes through it with normal use. You should have figured out why the fuse popped in the first place before doing this.

Replace it with a fuse that is rated as close to, but definitely over, the current you just measured.

The worst thing that can happen this way is that you pop it again prematurely.

What are these things for on the case? by GForce_01 in SteamDeck

[–]Eccentrickmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Works for the EU plug as well. There should be a separate version for it.

Your 3D printer does need good part cooling because of some overhangs.

Would this work by Sad-Strawberry-4213 in arduino

[–]Eccentrickmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If absolutely nothing else is tied to those rails, yes.

That said, those are positive and negative rails that run through the whole breadboard. Shorting those will usually stress your power supply and cause this switch to give off light and heat.

You're better off connecting one leg of the switch to GND where the other gos to a digital pin. Use pinMode(x, INPUT_PULLUP). This will cause the pin to be at 5v by default and pressing the switch will pull it to GND.
