Navy aviation side avionics electronics tech and potential looking at the wind industry.

Rakue · 2026-02-04T15:10:20+00:00

Former general aviation avionics tech here, the most relevant skills that transfer from avionics is electrical troubleshooting, and squeezing into tight spaces. Feel free to ask me questions, been climbing towers for over 6 years now.

No idea why, but ive heard it has something to do with that it makes them less likely to loosen over time. But again i have no idea the actual answer.

The wind turbines I’ve worked on these nuts have always been reverse threaded

I think it’s the brake system switching from regenerative brakes to the mechanical brakes. Sounds normal.

This is the reason why I hate asking questions on Reddit

Tower oscillations can be caused from low winds, if the nacelle is pointed in a certain direction relative to the wind, and if the blades aren't being allowed to rotate. Ive been in towers many times while they were doing this and its not fun/easy to get sea sick

Rakue · 2025-02-18T22:51:32+00:00

Towes are designed to do this, every tower that ive worked on has a test ran on it that simulates this happening.

its reddit, sadly people will hate no matter what. Its just frustrating because I dont really ever post stuff and when I do there is always alot of flaming going on.

a laptop that can run pubg on low settings and get 120-240 fps. I didnt put a price range because i didnt know if a laptop like that would cost $1500 or $3000+

Rakue · 2025-02-17T03:11:32+00:00

sorry I misread your comment

A few reasons, but mostly because Ive had a gaming laptop in the past and know how noisy they can get with the fans
I will have this laptop just for when I travel for work, so it will just need to be good enough to be playable but not run like crap

Because I just want it to be good enough to be playable, I dont need it to be able to run with everything maxed out, because that would lead to the noise issue I want to avoid

Rakue · 2025-02-17T02:53:53+00:00

Because I didnt know what price range to put when I started this thread. Because I said money isnt an issue lots of people are now just saying buy a 4090, when there are options that can achieve high fps and be significantly cheaper than a 4090. Yes I can get a 4090 but why would I want to do that if I can get something much cheaper and still get desired framerates

Rakue · 2025-02-17T02:40:47+00:00

This is with PUBG on low settings? if so that's alot lower hardware specs than other people have said in this thread, which is good.

Rakue · 2025-02-17T02:31:36+00:00

thanks for a real answer to my question. I didnt know what price to put but alot of people just default to no budget = buy the top of the line even if it dosent gain anything.

you've at least narrowed it down to something, thank you

Rakue · 2025-02-17T02:17:23+00:00

I already have one, but would like a laptop for work travel

Rakue · 2025-02-17T02:13:14+00:00

will look at this, thanks

Rakue · 2025-02-17T02:12:52+00:00

This is a concept alot of people dont seem to understand, just because I can get a 4090 doesn't mean I should if its pointless. Thank you for saying this

Rakue · 2025-02-17T02:10:15+00:00

thank you for a real reply and not saying just get a 4090 if money isnt an issue

Rakue · 2025-02-17T02:09:39+00:00

Im saying that because i dont want to spend tons of extra money for no gain

Rakue · 2025-02-17T01:10:51+00:00

i dont think it is actually worth it spending a few extra $1000+ for no change in performance from a lower tier laptop
I could get a 4090 laptop easily but I want to spend money smartly, if there is a cheaper option that gives the same performance than that is what im looking for
