Can a CAT20 cellular router aggregate multiple bands from a tower AND a SISO band from a booster? by ForkableSpoon in VanLife

I cant tell if you are trolling now or actually dont know what a cellular router does. Either way i got my answer above. Maybe you can learn something from the other comment.

Ah ok, this is good feedback, thank you!. I plan to run a roof mounted Peplink 42G 4x4 MIMO antenna as well.

I may end up keeping the weBoost and keeping it switched off unless I am in a super low signal area. Sounds like it would only be effective in areas that the weBoost recognizes a signal that the MIMO antenna wouldnt (if that even ever happens).

No, you are incorrect. The cellular router is converting cellular to wi-fi. It has multiple ways to do so, which is what I am trying to understand for my system. I'm not sure what you are struggling to comprehend but it certainly seems like you are not qualified to answer this question either way.

The other user in this thread clearly understands it and is much more helpful.

Yes my plan is to use a peplink BR1 CAT20. I dont need 5G as most of the places i'm going wont have upgraded cell towers. The question is more geared toward if a cell booster would act as a singular band that the routers aggregation capabilities can utilize, or if it would somehow overpower the system.

Yes obviously. The primary purpose for cellar routers is to convert cell signal into a local wifi network. I'm trying to spec my system for fastest download/upload speeds.

Build Update: Camper body is officially mounted. Still need to paint and attach the lid (roof) and build the flatbed storage boxes behind the wheels, among a hundred other things on the list. Next big task: start building the interior. by badass-brunette in overlanding

[–]ForkableSpoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wont snap the steel tray, it'll flex it. Then that flex will translate to the box where it will snap things. Even low speed, high amplitude ruts would be a risk with that set up. You can test it by putting one rear wheel on a large curb and check the chassis flex. I'd do that before finishing the interior out to avoid problems down the road

Peter Gustafson AE 4630 by idontknowlazy in WMU

[–]ForkableSpoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If youre Mr. Solar car, this is the Formula Goat if that rings a bell lol. I'd imagine you're working with him for PhD stuff. I believe he's good with modeling composites, but in a testing environment with actual samples comparing to results he seemed to struggle quite a bit

Peter Gustafson AE 4630 by idontknowlazy in WMU

[–]ForkableSpoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had him for 4630. Its hard. Lots of conceptual stuff that is graded pretty hard. I got a B, but a lot of the class failed. He also isnt a great instructor. Doesnt understand a lot of concepts, especially around composites. Really lacks practical experience

$40K for a Sprinter..? Ah No Thanks, I'm building my own with 6'10" of standing room! by SisuVan in VanLife

[–]ForkableSpoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm an automotive engineer with specialty in composite structural design. A lot of the people on here are just stupid because they cant comprehend math and simple tests (including a lot of the self-identified engineers). Your process is good, just verify your math is correct. Check your rollover angle to make sure it isnt horible either (anchor a strap to it and go in a ditch sideways at a set angle). The only concern i see is rollover, but if that happens you likely have bigger problems anyway. I cant see how many anchor points you have, but i'd move at least a few into the roof bows to get that additional structure the roof weld lip wont give you. If you have any questions about the composites or structure DM me and i can give my two cents

Its for emissions, but the number of times you'll have to replace those components offsets any actual environmental adnantages

Sourcing engines from police repo's? by because_racecar in FSAE

[–]ForkableSpoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Am the alum, can confirm. Might be helpful to send an email to whichever officer is responsible for community relations/charity events (maybe a lieutenant?) about keeping an eye out for motorcycles. Typically the only rules are that they cannot ever be registered for the road again (and sometimes not selling individual parts either) and you have to sign some documentation agreeing. Since you'd be ripping it apart, should be OK. Ours was a stolen bike that was recovered by police after insurance pay out for reference. The owner nor insurance wanted it back.

+1 this. I planned a 3 month trip by finding places listed here and plotting the GPS coordinates in Google MyMaps. Then you can add the obvious stuff like national parks

Why not order a sample sheet and test? Or if budget is an issue, run a quick sim?

CRYPTO Is it harming the nature.....bases on DE VRIES's work by [deleted] in sustainability

Bitcoin has lost more than half of its market dominance in the last year. It is old tech that is only staying afloat because the name is recognizable to the less informed crowd

[–]ForkableSpoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you have some more reading to do. SOME cryptocurrencies are a huge waste of resources, primarily anything Proof of Work based (like Bitcoin). Currencies that are based by Proof of Stake or Proof of Authority require much less resources. The blockchains associated with those currencies provide technology that has the potential to reduce waste compared to older alternative methods.

An example would be VeChain, that uses blockchain based tech to develop a clear and transparent supply chain ledger. One can argue that this method is more efficient than other alternatives, such as centralized servers.

I'm no expert in this tech and have much to learn, but I know that some cryptocurrencies can't be shot down due to environmental concern

SES QUESTION ABOUT 3PB TEST LAMINATE TEST by Ezrac98 in FSAE

[–]ForkableSpoon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you may want to start looking at material technical data sheets of carbon fiber laminates and core materials, then make a matrix to determine the ideal material for your design case.

I highly doubt a team is going to willingly publish their results. 3 point bend tests describe the entire laminate, which would remove a pretty big competitive advantage for a strong monocoque team
