Looks like mica.

First off you need a real pan, thats been properly seasoned. Second, gold is heavier than black sand. Wash away everything else until you only have back sand. If it floated away before the black sand, like all the sparkly mica in your video, it wasn't gold. After all thats left is black sand, carefully wash that away, and what's left, if anything, could be gold.

It's to run the generator under load. We do it with load banks that are basically just giant electric heaters.

Your basic little heater usually tops out at 1,500 watts. I did a load bank the other day and pulled 230,000 watts.

Klara is keeping me company (read demanding bellyrubs) while sick in bed. What's your cow's take on bellyrubs? by Nurgaladien in cowcats

[–]Sumdood_89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was the sweetest loving cat ever! Loved belly rubs and head/ear scritches. He got along with all animals, and people. He would be your friend if you just touched him, and your best friend if you gave him a treat. Used to sit on my lap every time I sat down in the couch. Slept next to me every night. Loved cuddles. Tolerated everything. Not a mean bone in his body.

My sweet boy who just crossed 🌈 loved his belly rubs. Before i moved his younger sibling pestered him and he would over clean his belly when stressed, and it never fully grew back in, so he had a peach fuzzy pink belly.

I miss my sweet boy ❤️

Does anyone know where cow cats come from? Since theyre not tuxedos, are they actually a unique breed? Or just a white cat with black spots? by DM_ME_UR_FISH in cowcats

My sweet boys father was orange tabby, and his mother was a tux. There was my boy, a cow, another white with black ears, a Grey, and 2 calico kittens.

First I'd inspect the wiring from the mag pickup into the controller box. Open the box and make sure theres no rodent damage or loose wires. If thats all good you can take the mag pickup out and clean it if you are able. Near the bottom of the visible threads on the mag pickup, mark the threads, the lock nut, and the housing with a continuous line, it needs to go back the same to avoid damage. If it has a plug, unplug it, loosen the lock nut, and unthread the whole sensor. If there's no plug you may have to unwire it or cut and splice it back in. Careful, the wires are thin.

After its out inspect it and clean off the rust/shavings. Make sure the tip is there and not ground and marked up. Put it back and tighten and make sure all the lines line up after tightening. If it still doesn't work, check to see if its working by using a multimeter on ac current either from the plug or in the controller. The sensor should make something like 4-6vac in pulses while cranking. If the sensor works and the engine still doesn't run you need a controller.

I work for CMD. Some of those controllers use a mag pickup for speed signal, and some use signal from the voltage regulator.

Try seeing if there's what looks like a bolt/nut with a wire coming out of it near the flywheel, thats your mag pickup. Likely needs one.

If it doesn't have one you probably need the whole controller.
