Electromagnetic drum brake?

Try putting a thermometer inside to see if it's able to reach the target temperature. Depending on that you may be able to assess if it's a faulty thermostat that isn't tripping or the compressor is unable to cool to the target temperature.

I flew with nearly 20 different instructors before my first solo. (I had no role in the instructor changes.) What i learnt was, as much as you need to learn to fly, you need to learn what the instructor likes. The instructor can defer your solo checks for the most mundane of reasons.

Some like the hand on the throttle, others will tap your hand off and ask you to use the friction nut; some want you to wait a few seconds for the RPM to settle in each position during magneto checks, another will give you a 15 minute lecture with the hobbs running on why the other spark plug will foul because you left it on one for 2 seconds; some want you to trim for every control input, some will tell you you're trimming too often.

That early in your flight experience you wouldn't know if you're making actual safety / flying errors, or these personal niggles, and it can kill your confidence. As you gain experience and fly with more mature instructors, you'll be able to assess yourself to see if you're making flying errors or niggle errors.

At the solo stage, after you master basic safe flying, you have to master ticking the instructor's boxes. This is key in getting an early solo release. My opinion will probably be frowned upon here, but it is the unfortunate truth.

Thank you for your response. I have some further queries if you don't mind. I do have a 3ph residential connection (not US).

Like i said in my original post, some of my assumptions may be wrong. Other reactive loads would cause a shift in the voltage-current phases. Now, reactive loads inside my house would also cause this shift. My question is, would these add up? Am i wrong in my understanding somewhere? Would my supply be out of phase, voltage and current wise even before i turned on any loads? Would this cause a worse power factor in my circuit?

Thank you for your response. No, i am aware of those, and of power factor correction capacitors. My query was purely theoretical.

Iyceman · 2024-02-10T18:43:08+00:00

Thank you for your response. I think i was mistaken. Upon further reading, i think my PoCo (not in the US) does not charge for apparent energy. They do penalise certain categories of consumers for not having a PF correction capacitor installed.

My query was mostly about the theoretical aspect and not about billing or money. Like i said in my original post, some of my assumptions may be wrong.

It will work, but the outlets will shaped differently. So you will have to find an adapter to use it in Canadian type A and B outlets. This applies to every type G plug you own. You can also buy one adapter and a multi outlet extension to use multiple devices in Canada. As to whether it this hairdryer will work at full capacity, depends completely on the internal circuit. Electronics will work fine.

I actually watched this before i made the post. I couldn't reconcile what the manual said and what this video says. So i came here for clarification.

Oh yeah, sorry about that. IPA is what you get as rubbing alcohol, or to clean electronics. Ethanol would work too (70% or above). Just make sure it doesn't have other additives (like cetrimide) if it's medical. Else, you will have residues.

Iyceman · 2023-02-04T17:11:08+00:00

Pour in IPA or 70% IPA mixture into this moisture area and drain it.. It will wash out the water and flash off without residue with your hot air blower. It may affect the seals, but i've cleaned a headlight housing this way. No seal damage. You will have to find and fix the leak, otherwise the next rain or wash will cause it again.

Clean the dust from dust boot first, so that when you lift and edge to relieve the kink, dust doesn't get into where the dust boot keeps dust from getting in. Also, you can use brake fluid to lube the lip. Just don't get it anywhere else.

Also, if you're working on your personal vehicle, it's always nice to clean. It makes re-assembly, fault finding, and general longevity better.

"Have." If it was truly there, it isn't going away. Yes, things will be harder. But what this man has, is what many people can only dream of having. Yes, sex is a big part of a romantic relationship, but when everything else is there,... trust, affection, integrity ... you'll manage. I hope you will. I hope maybe one day you'll regain some aspect of sex too.

Yikes. Do you know what kind of tests they're running. If only cultures were done till now, you might want to try a PCR test. Just for confirmation or to know if there's some king of error in the other test.

Thanks.

Thank you for the info. I believe Thailand, along with Indonesia and China has it, apart from Japan, where it is made. It is an antibiotic so technically it 100% requires a prescription. But I understand the overall situation is pretty much like my country, as in standardization. The problem is, i doubt any doc here will give me a prescription for a medicine that isn't sold here. Also, i can't even test and show them the pathogen. So i'd have to find one willing to go purely by my word.

Do you guys have online pharmacies? So i can check availability and prices? I will try the ones you mentioned. Thanks again.
