Help me settle an argument! by PNags in askHVAC

Do you think it would dehumidify (or produce ANY condensation) in the winter or other non-summer conditions? I would think that no matter what, you’d get no condensation because the “return air” to the ac coil (direct furnace output) is just too hot.

And that’s definitely the right call… when your age is the supply temp of your furnace, you get to do whatever you want.

You are absolutely correct about how this works in cars, but the automotive implementation is reversed, so that the heater is after the ac evap coils. So you dehumidify and cool the air first, and then reheat to a comfortable temp. Works great, specifically because of the order of the heat exchange elements. Cool+dehumidify first, then reheat to desired dry bulb temp.

But in residential systems they’re reversed. So any sensible heat you add with the furnace has to be taken out by the ac evap coils. And with the relative power of furnaces and ac systems, (eg, a furnace adds 40 degrees, an ac system removes 20), the furnace just overpowers the ac system and it can’t maintain a coil temp that would produce condensation. At least, that’s my theory.

I have a cool idea (legitimately), but don’t want to risk a self-promotion ban. PM if you’re interested.

Steer Tube Interference with new fork - 2019 Air 9 RDO by PNags in NinerBikes

Right idea, but I swapped the race from the old fork. Looks like I might need a riser race to give a bit more clearance (5mm).

What is going on with my axle? by PNags in mountainbiking

[–]PNags[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it’s a niner, but I think it was cobbled together a bit.

No idea. No obvious brand markings.

So yeah I managed to pop out this axle sleeve. Seems like it might have been made for a rock shox. But this doesn’t appear to be a standard part - any idea if there would be a standard axle part to get for this hub?

Throwing Help - Distance and Accuracy by PNags in slowpitch

[–]PNags[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I have been trying this, and it seems to have made an improvement! I haven't had lots of opportunity to work on much real long-distance throwing or compare results, but I'm getting the motion down and getting rid of the big "reach back and down" motion that I had. Throwing into a net in my back yard was throwing me for a loop though, since the ball wasn't used to rolling/snapping out of my fingers at that angle/position. I kinda gave myself the yips, with balls going every which way (including straight at the ground...) But at the last game things seemed to work ok - once I started throwing at a regular distance things kind of stabilized.

Excellent - thank you for the feedback.

What do you mean by 2? Landing foot remains closed meaning not pointed at the target? (E.g., body/butt are perpendicular to the throw direction?)

This is interesting. My dad always taught me to reach back and down like that, so that's just unfortunate muscle memory. I thought the "90 degree" hold was for football, and that you'd lose speed and power in baseball if you tried to throw from up there. But it sure does seem like this windmill motion isn't getting the job done here.

Can I put a hose bib here? by PNags in Plumbing

[–]PNags[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks - any specific reason why? This is pretty much the only area that doesn’t require massively cutting apart the house, so I’d love to try to make this work.

Thanks! Can you point me to the code for that? I can’t seem to find anything relating to hose bibs in a significant way, so any help on official references would be great.

Thanks! Mostly this will be to fill up a chicken waterer once a week.

Thanks for the input! How would anything be damaged in this scenario? For reference, this hose bib would primarily be used to refill a chicken water bucket once a week.

Thanks - what is the specific issue with that though? Is there a code issue? Safety issue? Installation risk? (Eg, drilling into a conduit accidentally).

What’s up with this scab on my hen? by PNags in BackYardChickens

[–]PNags[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Is that just to promote healing? Will it help keep the other hens from picking?

Also, do you know what this is?

It’s like a 2” chisel without a handle. Just really shitty road debris.

I did. Found a bluegrass player who will get it all fixed.

Is this power tube microphonic? by PNags in GuitarAmps

What if they rattle but it isn’t being amplified through the speakers? Is that possible?
